Girl saved from lion

An Israeli is on vacation and is visiting a zoo in the States when he   
sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. 
  
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to   
pull her inside to devour her - under the eyes of her screaming   
parents. 
  
The Israeli runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with   
a powerful punch. 
  
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl,   
and the Israeli brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him   
endlessly. 
  
A reporter had watched the whole event. The reporter says to the   
Israeli:  'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a   
man do in my entire life.' 
  
The Israeli replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really.  The lion was behind   
bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and did what I thought was   
right.' 
  
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a   
journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front   
page!  So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation   
do you have?' 
  
The Israeli replies, "I serve in the Israeli army and I vote for the Likud.' 
  
The journalist leaves. 
  
The following morning the Israeli buys the paper to see news of his   
actions, and reads, on the front page: 
  
ISRAELI  ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH 
  
And this pretty much sums up the media's approach to Israel !
