israeli missile strikes arab comedian
GAZA STRIP—It was a typical night at The Falafel House, the most beloved comedy club in the war-ravaged Israeli-occupied Palestinian settlement of Gaza. Arab comedian Amir "Chuckles" Faisal [pictured, far left], an outspoken critic of Israeli policies, was beginning his second set in front of a packed house of Muslim comedy fans.
"Two Jews, an Arab, and a midget walk into a bar," began his joke, but before he could finish, an Israeli-launched missile whizzed into the club, killing two Arabs, injuring several others, and leaving The Falafel House in shambles.
"This was a preemptive strike against anti-Semitic humor in all its forms," said an Israeli spokesman. "You let them get away with one Jew joke, they'll tell six million."
The missile grazed Faisal but did not injure him. "I was spared by the grace of Allah," the comedian quipped. "A couple inches closer, and I would've been circumcised!"
