The Analogy: Guerilla Street Theater

I'm often asked how to best explain the occupation of Palestine to someone completely unfamiliar with the realities of that ongoing slow-motion genocide. Here's how.

First, you'll need a big friend who can take on anybody. For this exercise, his name will be, "America".

Next, find someone on the street who has something you want, like say the spot of pavement where they are standing. Walk up to one of them and stand right up against them and physically touch their body with yours. When they protest, grab them in a headlock. If they start to hit you, start wailing on their head. If they get too aggressive, call America over and have him restrain your victim and tell them everything will be fine if you'll just stop resisting. Tell them you'll let them go if they promise to be your bitch for life. If they refuse, keep them in the headlock.

Be sure to keep America around. If America gets bored and wants to leave, you're in trouble.


I like it... it pretty much sums it up. I tend to use the 'tenant who refuses to pay up, starts to demand privileges then claim ownership the property...'

as for the big America friend, its only a matter of time till he leaves. cant be a giant loyal friend forever. nor can one take everybody permanently... we can see that already. time is on our side.

truly this is something. I used to go on and on trying to explain to freshies about the conflict to . But truly this sums it up for me. Thanks Abraham

Jesus christ Abe, you are one dumb motherfucker!  I mean goddamn, you give the word stupid a bad name.  The analogy just gets dumber and dumber everytime I read it.  Do your moronic supporters really need you to provide them with this lame analogy?  Here is an interesting game to play: Who is stupider, Abe or his readers??

 Hey, so what happense when the US "goes away"?  Arabs take over Israel, and the world, I guess?  Keep dreaming you fucking ass-licking piker, your life is going to be short and worthless.

Hmmm, let's see here: 2 votes in favor of the analogy; 1 vote against from an Anonymous Douchebag. Looks like you lose, Anonymous Douchebag. Back to the cesspool for you.

Gee Abe, if only your site had more visitors, maybe we culd take a real sample.  But the only time you get any hit volume is when people come here in droves to say what a complete and utter asshole you are.  Perhaps you are correct, the people have spoken! 

Goddamnit, that is the stupidest fucking comment I have ever read. It takes the term moronic to new lows. Gives hope to the retarded. Makes apes appear brilliant. Makes me sad for the educational system. Illustrates perfectly how an anonymous douchebag can still be good for giggles and mockery.

Hey Abe, Im not jewish, but I think you are, like, the biggest fucking cocksucker Ive ever seen. I mean, what a giant penis you are, a goddamned mother fucking asshole.  If you ever, ever, grow some nads (extremely unlikely), let us know where you live. Id love to pay a visit and shove a koran up your fetid ass! 

All the worst, sand nigger.

Regardless, you're a zionist, and a quite typical one at that. Thank you for exposing what zionism is really about.

Oooh, being called a zionist really hurts,  boohoo boohoo.  This is America turdbrained dumbfuck.  The word zionist carries no connotation here, good or bad, for 98% of the population.  And the rest are arabs, so who gives a fuck??  HAHAH

 Go ahead and depersonalize it if you like.  Make believe its primarily your principles, your religion or your views that I take issue with.  But the truth is, its fucking YOU who I detest Abe.  You are a giant fucking asshole.  GIANT, ENORMOUS HUMONGOUS FUCKING ASSHOLE! 

You are truly one of the most vile pricks ever to draw oxygen. You really, really suck. 

There is no hope for you.  You are a total piece of shit.  I might have mixed feelings about Israel, but I totally fucking hate you, so I guess that makes them my buddies. 

FUCK OFF AND DIE ABE!

Regardless, you're a zionist. You represent everything zionism stands for, wittingly or not.

You're also apparently retarded, or else fatally ignorant. I am nominally amused that a retarded gorilla would take time out from his obviously overloaded schedule to lob entirely ineffective invective at someone on the other side of a computer screen. It tells me that I'm hitting a nerve, and hitting it hard.

Anyway, you wouldn't give a shit if you weren't a fervent zionist, but your actions here describe otherwise. Face it, you're in love with colonialism, human rights violations, and genocide. It is what animates you. It is the only way you can get off, in the loneliness of your bedroom, sitting in front of your dilapidated computer, a window with video of dead Arabs playing alongside a window opened to your favorite transsexual porn website.

So, very, sad.


Hey, that's a great way to explain it! Nicely done :-)
i dunno, this seems silly. there are so many nazi-like things going on all at once - bush inc., islam period, and the afore mentioned zionists - how can you say one is and not the other. power and fear are the ultimate culprits in all of this.
Yes, but ask yourself, who has the power? Certainly not the Palestinians, who are the innocent victims in this larger game of world hegemony.

The palesinians HAVE the POWER to bring an end to their unhappiness. All it requires is accepting the situation, as it is, and moving on.

Destroying Israel will not bring about their salvation. It will bring about their demise. You do realize that, dont you?

The palestinians have as much chance of overtaking Israel as native americans do america.

Wow. You are as delusional as you are dumb.

Ouch, that hurts.  Really. 

 Are you quite sure that destroying Israel will solve all your problems?  Oh yea, that's right, the biggest arab problem is lack of "arab pride".  Pathetic.

Im OK with Palestinian "return" only on one condition: That first the territory is returned back to the level of development of 1948.  That is, a land of sheep herds, tents mud huts and outdoor plumbing.  Sorry, no freebie cherry cabinets and stainless steel appliances for arabs!
