    But this isn’t Coca-Cola, it’s Hamas.

    THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT ENTIRE PARAGRAPH? IT’S YOUR ANALOGY, NO ONE MADE YOU WRITE THIS! WHY INCLUDE IT IF IT WASN’T RELEVANT? screm-a

        The original “The ships hung in the sky much in the same way bricks don’t” from Adam is absolutely brilliant prose. But it’s succinct and doesn’t meander about for about 4 sentences.

    Imagine five army divisions funded by Coca-Cola were in South America set about destroying the unionised workforce-

    Shit, sorry, I got the analogy the wrong way around

    imagine if Israel invaded Atlana and killed hundreds of thousands of people half of them children to get at around 10k adults

    hang on this person’s cooking, although Coca Cola has funded death squads which is worse than anything Hamas has ever done so it’s not quite perfect.

    Imagine you drone-strike Colonel Sanders for his secret herbs and spices. You acquire the spices but realize that you were just looking for an excuse to commit war crimes

    So the Zionists are committing genocide to get and/or destroy the secret Hamas recipe?

    And even then the analogy is dogshit. The coca cola recipe is an extremely valuable trade secret, don’t you think they have backups in multiple locations? Especially if some murderous nazi milita set out to destroy it by physically carpet bombing Atlanta?

    Imagine if Israel funded Coca-Cola in the mid 80s to fight against Pepsi.

    Never mind if this would work for Hamas, this absolutely would not work for Coca-cola. The article is like “yeah, of course Israel would succeed in irretrievably destroying the secret of Coca-cola by bombing Atlanta for two years” and they quite simply wouldn’t. I don’t know if this makes the analogy better or even worse.
