Great depression and 1948? your off by about a decade. in 1948 isreal declared its independence. hence the last 1/3 of the song.
As far as the holocaust goes, while deplorable wasnt the worst act of genocide ever, just the most recent one in the pop media, but thats a diff issue all together.
the ironic thing about the genocide comment is that type o was once banned from performing in certain european countries do to petes a supposed familial relation to hitler. hence the song we hate everyone on Bloody kisses.
as far as shunning the sun, isreal was created with the idea that jesus would come back after the creation of a new isreal, (cant remember the biblical verse but its in there), hence the zionist movement after ww2. again the ironic point being, both religions in region, muslim and judaism, belive jesus to be a prophet, not a savior. the alien and area 51 comment is just a metaphor for being foreign (culture and ideas), ie the people there dont give two shits about jesus. also, most of the area around jerusalem is for the most part unihabbitable desert, but people still make pilgrimages there for redemption. with the exception of christains, again which is ironic.
the first verse is about as meaningful as the song dead again. hes saying ive dont this dont make the same mistake.
now... reread this post with the idea that my point of view is not going to be the same as yours and thus is meaningless. to me thats the point of the song and most of the songs of the album.
