Remaining as enemies
Two Arabs boarded a shuttle out of Washington for New York. One sat in the window seat, the other in the middle seat. Just before takeoff a fat, little Israeli guy got on and took the aisle seat next to the Arabs. He kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll go up and get a coke."
"No problem," said the Israeli. "I'll get it for you." While he was gone, the Arab picked up the Israeli's shoe and spit in it. When the Israeli returned with the coke, the other Arab said, "That looks good. I think I'll have one too."
Again, the Israeli obligingly went to fetch it, and while he is gone the Arab other picked up the other shoe and spit in it. The Israeli returned with the coke, and they all sat back and enjoyed the short flight to New York.
As the plane was landing the Israeli slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened.
"How long must this go on?" he asked. "This enmity between our peoples..... this hatred... this animosity... this spitting in shoes and peeing in cokes
笑话之阿以间世仇难消
两个阿拉伯人从华盛顿登机飞往纽约。一个坐在窗口的座位上，另一个坐在了中间。不久又上来个矮个的以色列人，坐在了他俩的边上。这个以色列人脱下鞋子，甩了甩扔在座位下，这个时候里边的一个阿拉伯人说，“我得过去取瓶可乐来喝。”
以色列人说，“你坐着吧，我给你拿。”起身就走了。那个阿拉伯人马上捡起以色列人的鞋子，向里面吐了口吐沫。等以色列人拿着可乐回来后，另一个阿拉伯人说，“嗯，可乐不错啊，我也想要。”
这个以色列人二话没说，转身又出去了。第二个阿拉伯人趁机捡起另一只鞋，向里面吐了口吐沫。等以色列人回来后，三个人一起坐着互不言语，享受着这次短暂的飞行。
飞机降落时，以色列人拿起自己的鞋并穿在脚上，马上就知道了这两个阿拉伯人所做的好事，回头对他们俩个说，“什么时候才能有个了结啊…我们两民族的这种恩怨…这种仇恨…这种敌意…我鞋里的这口吐沫…和你们可乐里的这泡尿”。
