this article explores the absolute stupidity of american policies concerning israel in a minor way;
Most people are unaware of the fact that the annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly, which takes place in September, is actually a major audition opportunity for aspiring stand-up comedians. This year, American President Donald Trump
was one of the pre-event favorites according to the Las Vegas betting
line based on his hilarious tweets back in January explaining that he is
“like, really smart,” before observing that he “would qualify as not
smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!”
To be sure, when he addressed the assembly on September 25th
and rambled on about how “In less than two years, my administration has
accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our
country,” the audience was ready to share in the fun and laughed out
loud at the absurdity of the notion. They were still giggling on the
following day when U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley quipped with a straight face that the audience was actually laughing with Trump out of respect for him and what he was saying.Trump’s tour de force seemed unbeatable but the wily Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
had an ace up his sleeve. Bibi’s performance back in 2012 when he
produced the by now infamous cartoon of an alleged Iranian nuclear bomb
about to go off was still recalled by many in the audience as the
ultimate stand-up joke U.N. style, a legendary performance. But the same
creative thinking that produced the bomb with its lit fuse had come up
with a different kind of delayed action joke that Bibi knew would
confuse his audience before being revealed for what it was,
trumping Trump’s attempt at humor, so to speak. Netanyahu produced a
series of large photos taken near Tehran by Israeli intelligence showing
a wall and a gate. He said it was
an Iranian “secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of
equipment and material for Iran’s secret nuclear weapons program.”The audience gasped, clearly impressed by Bibi’s unexpected rollout of a
hitherto unknown top secret installation, but the joke came the next
day when it was revealed that the complex inside the wall actually
contained a number of businesses, including a scrap metal dealership and
a carpet cleaning service. Bibi likely reacted with his Gary Cooper
grin, “Hey, the joke’s on you guys who are always whining about Israel’s
nuclear stockpile.” A U.S. intelligence official was also apparently
in on the jape, commenting a day later that
“What Netanyahu said last night was slightly misleading. We knew about
the facility in Tehran and it’s a place full of file cabinets and
documents, not aluminum pipes or centrifuges.”
