ELTON, Ben. Paulus in "Two Brothers": “Homeland? Two thousand years ago, Otts! Believe it or not, mate, things have moved on. Palestine is now the homeland of – who? Oh, let me see. Oh yes, I remember: the Palestinians. Get it? The Palestinians live in Palestine. There’s a clue in the names"

Ben Elton (famous German Jewish-origin British writer, novelist, playwright, comedian and TV series writer) in his novel “Two Brothers” [non-Jewish adopted Otto and his Jewish brother Paulus; in Berlin 1935]: “Otto’s recent announcement that he had decided to become a Zionist had both amused and frustrated his brother .. Lots of Jews in Berlin had begun talking about trying to get to Palestine. The Nazis themselves even raised the idea as a possible way of dealing with their “problem”. “It’s our homeland , “ Otto continued defiantly,”that’s all I need to know about it. Next year in Jerusalem!” … Now, having picked up a few illegal pamphlets in Jewish coffee shops, Otto had suddenly begun using the language of Zionist politics. “Homeland!” Paulus protested. “Homeland? Two thousand years ago, Otts! Believe it or not, mate, things have moved on. Palestine is now the homeland of – who? Oh, let me see. Oh yes, I remember: the Palestinians. Get it? The Palestinians live in Palestine. There’s a clue in the names. And I don’t think they will take very kindly to a fifteen-year-old German Jew boy turning up and saying he owns the place.” “We’ll takr it back,” Otto said darkly. “We have no choice.” “Great!” Paulus snapped. “And when you do maybe you can ban all the Arabs from using the parks and swimming pools. ”(Ben Elton, “Two Brothers”, Black Swan, London, 2012, pages 303-304 ).
