An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently at the U.N. and made the world community smile.
A representative from Israel began:
"Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought,'What a good opportunity to have a bath! He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. The Palestinians had stolen them.'
The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't there then.'
The Israeli representative smiled and said 'And now that I have made that clear, I will begin my speech.'

I get the joke... ;D
But seriously, Moses NEVER entered the promised land... That is a fact of the Torah. Because he had struck the rock instead of speaking to it Hashem forbade Moshe from entering the Holy land. Moshe died on the other side of the Jordan.
Maybe the point he was trying to make is that there was no such thing as a Palestinkian until around 1967 when Arafatass invented the term.
