A KGB agent, a CIA agent, and a Mossad agent were arguing about whose organization was most efficient. They agreed to hold a contest: each would go into the woods to bring back a deer, and whoever came out earliest would be the winner. The KGB agent went first.

The Mossad agent went in, and in half an hour, he came out holding a frightened rabbit. "That's not a deer; that's a rabbit," said the other agents. "Ah, but the rabbit confessed!" said the Mossad agent.

Biden's Plan to Resettle Thousands of Gaza Refugees Is Insane, Warns Expert No other Middle Eastern country is crazy enough to want large numbers of Gazans to enter their country. The history of Palestinians in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria suggests that the refugees would look to overthrow the government or launch terrorist attacks against Israel from within their borders.
