War Humor

I simply cannot understand why Israel constantly has to explain, justify, and apologize for retaliating against Hamas! Plus, it's not as if Hamas is a country -- it's a terrorist group, like Al Qaeda, who we went after after September 11. When you are attacked and murdered by terrorist savages, you attack back. Why is that so hard for people understand?

Meanwhile, I got this war humor from my friend Edna, whose friend from Ashkeklon, Israel, sent it to her:

"This joke explains all you need to know about the Israeli-Palestinian politics:
What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?
The Italian - throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.
The German - carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.
The Frenchman - takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.
The Chinese - eats the fly and throws away the coffee.
The Russian - Drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.
The Israeli - sells the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, makes a cup of tea for himself and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into cups.
The Palestinian - blames the Israeli for the fly falling in his coffee,protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of tea to the Palestinian."
