Quote by Golda Meir

Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!

Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Mose

Summary

This quote is a lighthearted take on the historical narrative of the Israelites wandering in the desert for 40 years before reaching the Promised Land. It humorously suggests that Israelis harbor a playful gripe against Moses, their leader, for leading them to a place in the Middle East that is devoid of oil, a valuable natural resource. The quote highlights the contrast between the importance of oil as a global commodity and the biblical journey of the Israelites, offering a comedic perspective on their historical journey.
