Will it work?

Two Jews were sitting in a Tel Aviv cafe in the precarious days after
Israel first
had won its independence, and one said to the other, "I only see one way
out."
"What's that?"
"Israel must declare war on the United States."
"What are you talking about? How could that possibly help us?"
"Well, we'd lose at once and the Americans would send an occupying force.
They
would form an alliance with a new pro-American government, guarantee our
boundaries, flood us with American capital, establish our industries, and
make us
prosperous."
"Hmmmm! I see your point, but it won't work."
"Why not?"
"Because with Jewish luck, we'd win the war and spoil everything."
