Complains

Before the fall of the Soviet Union, a Russian Jew applied to immigrate to Israel.
The local Soviet commissar called him in for questioning and asked:
“Haven’t we allowed you the right to worship in your Synagogue?”
“Can’t complain.”
“Haven’t we let you live in peace with your fellow Jews?”
“Can’t complain.”
“Haven’t we allowed you to travel freely within and beyond the village?”
“Can’t complain.”
“Haven’t we allowed you to teach your children Torah?”
“Can’t complain.”
“Haven’t we let you practice your profession?”
“Can’t complain.”
“Then why do you want to go to Israel?”
He replies, “There I can complain!”
