In his great book, Treacherous Alliance - The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States, Trita Parsi tells an Iranian joke, but it needs a little context.

While Iran was faced with Israeli accusations of funding Palestinian terror, the Palestinians themselves complained about empty Iranian promises. Parsi explains that "it was easier for Iran to offer rethorical rather than practical support.
