[OT] Sad joke

This joke came in the mail today, and while I'm not usually into politics, I just had to write this down. It would have been really funny if it wasn't so sad (and don't flame me, this is all in good, satirical, dark humor):

A guy in Paris sees a pit bull attacking a toddler.
 He kills the pit bull and saves the child's life.
 Reporters swarmed the fellow.

"Tell us! What's your name? All
Paris will love you!
 Tomorrow's headline  will be:

"Parisian Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!"

 The guy says, "Well, I'm not from
Paris.

 "Reporters: "That's OK. Then the whole of
France
  will love you and tomorrow's headline will read:

 'French Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!'"

 The guy says, "I'm not from
France, either."

 Reporters: "That's OK also. All
Europe will love you.

 Tomorrow's headlines will shout:

 "European Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!"

 The guy says, "I'm not from Europe, either.

"Reporters: "So, where ARE you from?

 The guy says, "I'm from
Israel."

 The next day's headlines read:

"Israeli Murders a Dog,  Leaves a Girl Bleeding!"

"Israeli Brings Violence to Paris: a Pet is Murdered, Girl Wounded"

"Israeli Attack: One Dead, a Wounded Toddler Rescued".
