Adam Carolla is king of the analogies. He's good at it, and they're useful, even if the late great Scott Adams used to say that analogies are "not argument". Maybe not, but they help clarify.
In Adam’s rant in the video above, which I set to start at 15:15, he does a good job of clarifying the problem in the Middle East with a simple analogy, which I think works.
It's not that Israel is "doing bad things" to the "Palestinians" (let alone “genocide”), but that the Palestinians are not keeping their own house in order. They're obsessed with wiping Israel off the map, and with killing Jews. Instead of getting their own house in order, in Gaza, in Judea and Samaria.
As Golda Meir said: "If the Islamist lay down their arms there will be peace; if Israel lays down its arms, it will be exterminated".
What about Islamists living in the west? They want you dead. It’s true. They say it repeatedly and explicitly. They no longer bother hiding their aims. They feel the west, places like the U.K. and Europe, are already submissive enough. ("Islam" means "Submission"). And they’re right. Sigh…
