How do you like my farcical account of Middle East history and Helen Thomas's interpretation?

As Marx said, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce." Although I'm sure it repeats itself, I oscillate between regarding it as all tragedy or all farce, depending on the mood I'm in. Right now it's feeling rather farcical. See my farcical account below.

Helen Thomas to Israelis: "Why don't you just go back to where you came from?" Israelis: "We did already. What are you so pissed about?" Helen Thomas: "That was too far back." Palestinian Arabs to Israelis: "We are a persecuted minority that doesn't fit in anywhere and is not allowed to fit in anywhere. Give us our homeland back. It is where we belong and where we can be who we are. " Israelis to Palestinian Arabs: "What claim do you have to this land?" Palestinian Arabs to Israelis: "It used to be ours." Israelis to Palestinian Arabs: "Ridiculous. Who ever heard of a people making such a claim? Why don't you just accept reality and learn to try and fit in where you are at now?"

If you don't agree, feel free to bomb me or accuse me of anti-semitism at my yahoo email account.

    Caucasian Jews never lived in the middle east before the 20th century, not even 3000 years ago. These "bible" or "DNA tests" claims are nothing but lies.
