I don't know which of these is better - the original quote or the response... so here goes both of them..
Sweden must understand that relations in the Middle East are much more complicated than self-assembly furniture at Ikea
-- Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman
Ikea Furniture Not That Easy to Build...I would be happy to send Lieberman an Ikea flat pack to prove him that it isn't that easy to assemble. He will also see that what you need to put that together is, first of all, a partner. You also need to cooperate and you need a good manual. I think we have most of those elements if we want to use them also for the conflict in the Middle East. For peace you need two parties to actually sit down at the same table and discuss the future
-- Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom
It's an awesome reply. The only problem is that Sweden doesn't realize who they're talking to and what's missing in the picture!!
