Golda and Henry

from A Nice Jewish Boy's Weblog

When Golda Meir held the office of Prime Minister, she tried to encourage Henry Kissinger to make Israel a top priority. Kissinger sent her a letter:

"I would like to inform you that I'm first an American citizen; second, Secretary of State; and third, a Jew".

Golda responded, "In Israel, we read from right to left."
