There have been many so called ‘turning points’ in the tragic comic middle east bloodshed, many a reason given in the past for optimism, but the Arab/Israeli conflict always seems fated to end in total annihilation for all involved. However yesterday things did appear to be, and start to look, much, much better for the region. Both Prime Ministers signed a historic peace agreement. Hostilities would still continue, but from this day forth both sides will only used cheese-based weapons, which are non-lethal. Instead of blowing each other to smithereens, as per usual, they will now merely chuck cheeses at one another.

{mosgoogle}UN head honcho Kofi Anan praised the move saying “Being realistic, there is probably never going to be peace and love between Palestinians and Israelis ever, but maybe today we have seen and end of all the bloodshed and pointless loss of life.” Only one person was killed in the region in the last 24hrs. The man, a Palestinian aged 19, died after falling into the path of a giant cheese that he was rolling down a hill in the hope that it would smash into Israeli troops. An Israeli soldier needed hospital treatment after straining his wrist attempting to hurl 20lb cheddar at mini Gouda throwing Palestinian children. Countries around the world are donating cheese to both sides in the hope that the cheesy-peace will continue.
