Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak made this analogy: "Think about what would happen if for seven years rockets had been fired at San Diego, California from Tijuana, Mexico."

The above analogy is often used by war-mongers to soften the perception of obvious aggression. However, I like how the Washington Times columnist added to the analogy.

This is now starting to sound more accurate.

The biggest problem with the people that have taken notice to the actual truth is that they are frustrated that the truth is being disguised by meritless analogy that simple minds can relate to.

What is to be expected under these kind of conditions? This is the picture that most do not appreciate before basing their opinions on limited information.


Now there will be many that will argue that this extended version of the popular analogy is not befitting to the present conflict. I understand. But can you honestly tell yourself that you have all the information? And if you think that you might not have it all, consider that your error may indirectly condone death to innocent.

However, this extended analogy, in my opinion is closer to the truth that was is presently being spouted.

And if the people around the world knew that the majority were not killers, would be more apt to come to their aide?

This article has an interesting conversation below (in the link), as well.

But let's see if our political and pundit class can parrot this analogy.

Totally right. The whole comparaison makes more sense if you take into ALL factors like palestinians living in the 1944 Warsaw Ghettos.

So warmongerers, go in the military and go die for your god Israel... or shut up.

Israel has validified there right to genocide the aggressor. They are the chosen people, who took on a divine providence of war to get to this place.
certainly they should not be question about why they can destroy anything that stands between them and those who must be killed. These poor israeli people live in a bomb crater, everyone around them wants them dead. The outer realm must move in and take some control. Islam will not live under the rule of israel and will attack truce or no truce.

The authors takes a comparison and then injects his own prejudical assmptions into the mix. First rockets were flying in from Tijuana and suddenly Mexicans are being expelled a la apartheid across the border.
What should be mentioned was that Pancho Villa ordered those Mexicans to leave their homes so he could vanqyish those pesky San Diegans. The author may be Jewish but has a limited grasp on what actually happened in 1948. Most Arabs who relocated to the West Bank or the Palestinian highlands did so on the advice of the leaders of 5 Arab Armies (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt) A few were expelled and some fled in fear. In losing the war the Arab armies created vast tracts of empty land and created Israel.
Fearing complicity in the attempted genocide of Palestinian Jews, the R=Arabs remained there. The author out of naivete ignorance or malicousness fails to mention this in his “analogy”.

What if the Mexicans refused to integrate these Mexicans into the rest of the Mexican population? What if they were taught by rebels groups to hate San Diegans for the lack of integration instead of the Mexicans?? What if the Mexicans under UN aegis treated these refugees poorly? What if Mexiv=cans refused to talk with the San Diegans on these issues? And then The San Diegans beat off a Mexican attack and occupied Tijuana? Population pressure then caused many San Diegans to migrate to Tijuana.
And then Mexico funded extremist terrorists to kill San Diegans in San Diego, Tijuana and everywhere else. How could you keep this conflict in check? With walls, checkpoints and separation!
What if Mexico also built a wall and surrounded this area? Considering the violent episodes that regulary pulsed the population fed by hate refusing to talk wouldn’t you want to keep them in check until they regained their sanity. Here sanity means accept San Diegos right to exist.

No you wouldn’t be surprised that the Tijuanitas were launching missiles with a death philosophy based on an extreme version of their religion and funding from extremists in Mexico.

The majority of Tijuaintas were polled frequently always expressed support for the most extreme elements out of a combination of fear and hatred of those extremists and taught hatred over generations. Free Gaza is shouted but Gaza really was free all along but CHOSE war.
