Commentary for Avodah Zarah 102:12

ואימא עליהם דומיא דעמהם מה עמהם כל מה שעמהם אף עליהם כל שעליהם א"כ לא יאמר עליהם

But why not say, “On them” is the same as “with them’; just as “with them” means anything that is “with them” so too “on them” means anything that is on them. In that case the verse would not have needed to state “on them.”
