On Shaky Ground

Question: When is handshake not a handshake?
Answer: When it is a figment of the Zionists’ imagination.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and Lebanese President Emile Lahoud shook hands at a diplomatic event in Tunis, Shalom’s office said yesterday. Lahoud denied shaking Shalom’s hand, saying the account was “based on imagination.”Shalom was near Lahoud as he shook the hands of dignitaries standing nearby at a function the Tunisian government put on for delegates to a UN conference, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.
The way I see it, the only thing “based on imagination” is the idea of peace with our neighbors. Neighbors who don’t even acknowledge our existence, and for the brief moment that they do, deny it ever happened.
