I'm invited to meet with Pope Benedict.
The American ambassador comes to me,
says, "You're the rabbi. You go first."
I said, "No, you're the ambassador. You
go first." So he spoke to him 11
seconds. President to Poland says to me,
"You go first. You're the president."
"Okay, 11 seconds." The Israeli
ambassador 11 seconds comes to me and I
start speaking to them in German. He
spoke 3 and 1/2 minutes. All the press
came running over to me. What did you
discuss? I said, "When two religious
leaders speak, it's not for the press to
know." They were furious. Understand why
they kill me.
