Israeli paper cups in a Saudi hospital! Cue the outrage - It must be a Mossad plot!
Riyadh, 22 August (AKI) - Paper cups made in Israel have caused a storm of protest in a Saudi hospital, the Saudi newspaper Arab News reports. Officials at the King Khaled National Guard Hospital says they are investigating after the catering subcontractors for the coffee shops in the hospital ran out and began using Israeli paper cups with Hebrew writing on them, sparking outrage among the customers.
What's sad is that someone, somewhere, probably does think that my opening joke is for real.

Joseph Heller could write an entire novel about how an Arabian National Guard hospital in Ryadh ended up with an overstock of Israeli paper cups. Ah, the worlds of intrigue in a land where all is forbidden....
