UNDERSTANDING HISTORY

Ibrahim X Jacob ...

Ibrahim the Arab goes to Jacob's store to buy a dozen bras. Jacob the Jew, sensing good business, says they are rare and few and sells for 40 euros each.

Ibrahim, the Arab buys and comes back a few days later wanting two more dozen. Jacob, the Jew says that the pieces are becoming increasingly rare and sells for 50 euros a unit.

A month later, Ibrahim, the Arab buys what is left for 75 euros each. Jacob the Jew astounded, asks what's the reason for buying so many black bras.

Ibrahim the Arab says:

- I cut the bras in two and I make two stylish little caps and sell them to Jews for 120 euros each.

AND THEN THE WAR BEGAN
