The whole MAGA messaging is anti immigration, but only focused on brown immigrants, and has been since it started in 2016. Trump and Vance are currently apreading lies about Haitian immigrants eating pets.

Anyone who is a Trump person supports racism and that makes them racist.

They say Biden is still waiting to talk to Trump to this very day.

They feel like there is less crime, because they have bought into security theater.

Wow, a comic character simply pointing out that Trump.people are racist sure seems to have hit a nerve.

To cause chaos. A nation arguing with itself will be less inclined to mess around internationally.

Sending things to both parties is more likely to cause chaos.

The suit is there to reduce fatalities and minimize injuries, not to avoid every poasible injury.

Sometimes there are situations where touch and feel is critical, although my understanding is that the preferred approach today is remote detonation where even the suit is away from the likely blast radius.

A two (or more) state solution is also a possible outcome. For example, Gaza and the West Bank could become Palestine as a separate country from Israel. There would need to be a massive change in borders for that to even possibly work out, but an independent Palestine is more likely to lead to eventual stability than mashing everyone together.

Yeah, leading with the important part so the reat of it has context seems to work a lot better for a lot more people in my experience. Especially in your example where you are trying to front load the thing to do followed by the thing not to do. That way they don't jump to speculation halfway through the sentence :)

On a somewhat nonscientifically aupported personal observation, if the sentence structure has a 'but' in the middle the audience is very likely to start mentally guessing what is coming up and will have more trouble listening to what it being said. It can often sound like a rug pulling moment, where what they thought was true is suddenly switched up and most people don't like that. So if thinking ahead it is better to reverse a sentence like in that example to avoid the middle 'but'.

Which is different than Israel not existing.

You understand the difference, right?

Israel does not need to stop existing for the genocide to end or for the government officials to be tried for war crimes.

It isn't like Italy needed to stop existing after WWII...
