Israel, Palestine Fighting Over Cemetery Space (Onion)

[Stevepol]

I find this funny, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with me to think so. This kind of humor deserves a special name.



JERUSALEM—After decades of bitter conflict and the loss of thousands of innocent lives, Israeli and Palestinian forces clashed once again this week, with each side laying claim to a five-mile stretch of desperately needed cemetery space. . . .

1. Once again the Onion speaks the truth

That's basically what the "holy land" is, one giant space of land that people have killed each other for, time and time again.

2. It's funny in a very sick kind of way because

we're all so sick of this shit happening over and over ad nauseum, and nothing ever changes. They might as WELL be fighting over cemetery space.
