Palestinian Dreams Unfulfilled, MCDXLIII

Palestinians in Jenin once wanted the whole land west of the Jordan. Then they just wanted the 1967 borders. Then they just wanted a sandwich. The longstanding Palestinian dream to build the longest sandwich in the world ended yesterday in ignomy. Haaretz reports:
"We were planning to add the mortadella and stuffing at the last minute to rule out any possibility of rotting," chef Ahmed Nazzal told Reuters. "There must be a conspiracy against us by other competitors."
The current sandwich-length record holders are Portuguese. Who knew Portugal was part of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy?
