A Frenchman, a Russian, and an Israeli were taken captive by a group of terrorists. Before being executed, they were given one last wish. The Frenchman wanted a bottle of wine. The Russian asked for a bottle of Vodka. The Israeli asked that his hands be untied and that he be given a good kick in the behind.
All three wishes were granted. The Frenchman drank the wine, the Russian enjoyed his vodka and the Israeli had his hands untied and was given a good kick. As soon as the Israeli recovered, he grabbed a pistol from one of the terrorists and began shooting. He killed a few of the terrorists and the rest ran for their lives.
"That was great," said the Frenchman. "You saved our lives," exclaimed the Russian. "But we don't understand, why did you ask for the kick?
"I was afraid that if I wasn't kicked first, you would have called ME the aggressor," replied the Israeli.
