Two bochurim, an Israeli and a chutznik (non-israeli) are arguing whether Israelis or chutnikim learn better. They argue until the chutznik says, “H-Shem gave the Torah in chutz la’aretz so that proves it!” The Israeli then quotes him a medrash that says that H-Shem uprooted Har Sinai and moved it to Eretz Yisrael and then gave bnei yisrael the Torah. “So you see,” says the Israeli, “H-Shem obviously prefers Israelis.” The other bachur replies, without beating any eyelash, “there’s a reason He chose a chutznik.”
