A popular Israeli joke goes like this: Shlomo heads to the marketplace to buy a brain and finds a vendor selling a Jewish brain and an Arab brain. But to his shock and dismay, the Arab brain is 50 times more expensive. “This is not right,” exclaims Shlomo indignantly. “Shouldn’t the Jewish brain be more expensive?” The vendor grins and matter-of-factly says, “No. The Arab brain is barely used.”
This joke was put to the test when Israeli president Shimon Perez visited Egypt in November and told Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak that Israel’s government and people were standing by Egypt’s side in its row with Algeria. And what exactly happened between Egypt and Algeria to warrant political support from the Zionist state and its Nobel Laureate/War Criminal president? If you haven’t heard about what happened between the two North African Arab/Muslim countries, you should kick yourself because you have not only been living under a rock, but also have missed out on the most exciting event in recent Arab and Islamic history. Two brotherly countries came within a hair of severing diplomatic relations over ... (you need to sit down for this) … a soccer game!!!
