Before the birth of Israel, Chaim Weizmann, who would become the country's first president,said in 1919: "[It is] of vital importance not only to secure all water resources already feeding the country, but also to control them at their source." Rafael Eitan, chief of staff and minister of agriculture and environment, said some years later: "Israel must hold on to the West Bank to make sure that Tel Aviv's taps don't run dry."
Current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in 1998: "And when I talk about the importance to Israel's security... It means that a housewife in Tel Aviv can open the tap and there's water running to it, and it's not been dried up because of a rash decision that handed over control of our aquifers to the wrong hands."

Detained by police on a charge he described as “flying while Muslim”, the hero of Zarqa Nawaz’s hit sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie (2007) made things worse for himself in the first episode by joking. “Muslims around the world are known for their sense of humour,” he deadpanned. By poking a little affectionate fun at both the daily dilemmas of modern Muslims and stereotypical Western perceptions of them, Nawaz made gentle strides towards demystifying her community. Some critics predicted the show would do for North American Muslims what The Cosby Show had done for African Americans in the Eighties.
