You know, my peoples' lives would have been so much easier if your people would have simply disappeared.

HESHIM

We had the same thought about your people: Why can't they simply vanish?

MOISHE

Just out of curiosity, where did you think we would "vanish" to?

HESHIM

We hoped that Europe, maybe out of a sense of guilt, would have invited you Jews back, maybe create a homestate for you. (beat) Where did you think we'd "disappear" to?

MOISHE

We hoped your fellow Arabs would have carved out a Palestinian state for you inside their borders.

HESHIM

That'll be the day. Not very realistic, were we? (THEY laugh)

MOISHE

The truth is that no country in Europe wants us Jews to arrive en masse on their doorstep.

HESHIM

And nobody wants us Palestinians as a group to show up in any Arab country.

MOISHE
