Best. Comeback. EVER.

It's old news by now, in internet terms, but it's still hilarious.

From The Bulletin newspaper, article by David Bedein.

"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has issued an unprecedented statement clarifying President Barack Obama’s demands for Israel to stop expanding Jewish communities in areas it acquired following the 1967 Six-Day War, including Jerusalem.The statement, issued Wednesday, applies to the area known in Israel by their Biblical names, Judea and Samaria, and as the West Bank by the international community.There are now 128 Jewish communities in these areas, with a population of almost 300,000 Jews.Mrs. Clinton explained President Obama demands that there should be no expansion in these communities for the purpose of “natural growth.”
That would include an American demand to stop construction of kindergartens, schools and housing for young couples. “West Bank maps” issued by the United Nations also include 18 Jewish neighborhoods inside the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem, in areas inside the city that Israel formally annexed after the 1967 war.One of the Jerusalem neighborhoods resettled by Jews after the 1967 war is the Old City of Jerusalem, which hosts the Temple Mount, the holiest place in the world to the Jewish people....

Israeli Government Press Director Daniel Seamen reacted to this Obama administration statement by saying: “I have to admire the residents of Iroquois territory for assuming that they have a right to determine where Jews should live in Jerusalem.”"

Bwhahahahaha!

No wonder all comedians are Jewish. Hi-freaking-larious.



Also, here's some blasts from the past, showing why Jews in government have always had the last laugh. From the admirable Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of the UK under Victoria:



Mr. Kremlin himself was distinguished for ignorance; for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.

The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity.

The very phrase 'foreign affairs' makes an Englishman convinced that I am about to treat of subjects with which he has no concern.

He was one of those men who think that the world can be saved by writing a pamphlet.

The most dangerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps.

And, drumroll...

When Daniel O'Connell, attacked Disraeli in the House of Commons, referring to his Jewish heritage, Disraeli replied "Yes, I am a Jew. And when the ancestors of the right honorable gentlemen were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon."



RIGHT IN THE KISSER!
