An American tourist was visiting the Gaza Strip recently. He became lost and he had no map to guide him. He decided to ask an Israeli Soldier for directions.
As the soldier was pointing the tourist in the right direction, he suddenly pulled out his gun and shot a Palestinian riding past on his bike.
The tourist, stunned at what he had just witnessed, said,
"What the hell did you do that for?"
The soldier replied, "I did it because of the 9 o'clock curfew"
The tourist said "But it's only 8:30!"
"Yes" said the soldier, "But I know where he lives and he would never have made it home in time."
