How’s the summit going
November 27, 2007 | World Events
I posted this to a forum, but thought it might go well here. A humourous update on the summit in Annapolis:
Everyone not Israel and the US: Israel must be wiped off the map!
Rice: [Hands extended to keep them apart] Wait! Wait! What if we start slow and work our way up to ‘not wiping Israel off the map’?
Syria: Like what?
Condi Rice: Well, would Palestine … like a Frosty?
Palestine: What is this ‘Frosty’?
Rice: It’s like a chocolate milkshake. We get it from Wendy’s.
Palestine: That sounds tasty. Yes. Palestine will have a Frosty.
Rice: OK. Will you allow Israel to get in their car, go through the drive-through and pick it up.
[Commotion amongst everyone that is not Israel or the US]
Palestine: [leans in and discusses idea with other Palestine rep]: We will allow the Israeli car to go and pick up the Frosty only … a Jew may not drive the car or handle the Frosty.
Rice: Well, it is Israel’s car. And it’s just a Frosty.
Israel: We will agree to this.
Palestine: [After more discussion] The Jew handling the Frosty must use a napkin with the Palestine flag upon it. And Israel may NOT hand the Frosty directly to Palestine. And we do not want the Frosty immediately.
Israel: If not you, then who? If not now, when? [Giggling amongst the Israeli delegation]
Rice: That’s enough Israel. OK. Can Israel agree to the napkin issue and delivering the Frosty, say, after nap time?
Israel: We will agree to the Palestine napkin, but we will wrap the Palestine napkin in an Israeli napkin first. But who will take the Frosty to Palestine?
Palestine: You should give the Frosty to Syria, who will then give the Frosty to Palestine.
Syria: We will accept nothing from Jews!
[Commotion fills the room again]
Jordan: [At first quietly] I will take it. [Now louder, to quell the rabble] I WILL TAKE ISRAEL’S FROSTY TO PALESTINE.
[The room quiets]
Jordan: Jordan will deliver Israel’s Frosty to Palestine. But Israel must remove the Israeli napkin and leave the Frosty on the negotiation table between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia: Why is this Jew Frosty being left near us? We object!
Rice: It will only be near you. Not in your actual “table area” so to speak.
[A long pause]
Saudi Arabia: We will agree to this … only if a member of the United Arab Emirates agrees to screen our view of the Jew Frosty while Palestine comes and picks it up. Once Palestine acquires the Frosty, Saudi Arabia will acknowledge it.
Rice: Acknowledge what?
Saudi: This … Frosty.
Rice: But we’re asking you not acknowledge the Frosty, just that the Frosty is one step toward everyone acknowledging Israel is a nation of …
[Suddenly]
Everyone not Israel and the US: Israel must be wiped off the map!
