Hamas and Islamic Jihad Groups Hail Joke As A "Heckuva Kneeslapper"
TEL AVIV (Rhodes Media Services) -- After a whirlwind media storm that touted a three month ceasefire between Israelis and Palestinian militant groups, various leaders of the terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad came forward and said it was all a big hoax that was part of their Jihad Fool's Day celebrations.
Amidst much giggling and backslapping, leaders of the terrorist organizations said they weren't sure who started the joke, but they all agreed that it was a hysterical distraction from their usual serious business of killing innocent people.
"Wow! I woke up today and looked in the paper and I see "Truce" and "Peace" splashed all over the place," said Abdel Aziz Rantisi, one of the Hamas top leaders. "I broke up laughing so hard I could barely keep my blind hatred of the Jews fully focused. This little prank will go down in history as one of the all time greats. I think that little mischief maker, Fareed Mozul Aziz, was behind this one. He's always doing madcap things like this. Peace in the Middle East!? That's just too funny! Doesn't the world realize yet that violence in the Middle East is officially part of our culture? Don't they know that we would have nothing else to base our existence if we didn't have our little goal of driving the Jews into the sea? Heh, good one, Fareed."
