The Israel supporter and the sandwich

An Israel supporter walks up to a guy at a restaurant, grabs his sandwich, starts eating it.

Israel supporter:[Walks up to a guy at a restaurant, grabs his sandwich, starts eating it.]

**Guy:**Hey!

**Israel supporter:**What?

**Guy:**Thats my sandwich!

Israel supporter[still eating]**:**Sandwich? What sandwich?

**Guy:**Right there! Youre eating it right now!

**Israel supporter:**No Im not.

**Guy:**Oh my God! Youre standing right in front of me eating my sandwich! I can see you doing it with my own eyes!

Israel supporter[finishing sandwich]**:**Nope. Never happened.

**Guy:**You owe me another sandwich you prick! You stole from me!

**Israel supporter:**So youre saying Jews steal? Thats an anti-semitic canard!

**Guy:**What?? I didnt even know what religion you are! Im just mad you stole my sandwich and ate it right in front of me!

Israel supporter: That never happened. Or if it did happen it wasnt me. Or if it was me I had to do it because another guy did something that left me no choice, so you should blame him.

**Guy:**Gah!!

**Israel supporter:**Actually come to think of it Im beginning to suspect maybe YOU ate MY sandwich.

**Guy:**How is this happening? This is ridiculous!

**Israel supporter:**Again with the Jew hating!

**Guy:**Why the hell do you keep babbling about Jews?? This has nothing to do with Jews! This is about you personally and the specific thing you just did!

**Israel supporter:**Okay Hitler. [Steals silverware on the table, exits.]
