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…
The continued existence of Israel does not require an ongoing genocide, so those are not in opposition.
If someone accused you of being pro-Trump and you said “I’m registered independent” do you think they’d be like ‘oh, nm carry on then’?
If they asked I would say ‘no’ instead of trying to dodge the question.
You asked about something specific, whether someone was ‘officially’ something and I answered the question. You asked a question that is apparently different than the thing you want to argue about, which is who they (currently?) support.
The mental gymnastics are just mind blowing with that crowd.
“Ethical”
Having security cameras that malicious businesses sell so they can scrape your data and share video with the police without your informed consent is a dystopian nightmare.
Having your own security system that is only accessed by you and those you intentionally share it with is not.
I can’t remotely see if an important package was delivered with a regular doorbell.
Negative Ghostrider, doggo comes first!
That they are a traitor to the nation and should be ashamed, but they are officially a Democrat because of their registration. That is why they get to vote in the primary, because registering makes it official no matter what the reason is.
I am not registered for any party, and the fact that I end up always voting for candidates of one party does NOT make me an official member of that party.
If only there was some kind of pattern!
You guys are having conversations where someone gets to the point at the beginning?
I usually get a meandering barely tangential story that is supposed to be context but is irrelevant and gets in the way of communicating their simple point.
“snooggums, are you able to take off work tomorrow? I was walking the dog and ran into Cindy. You know Cindy, Bob’s daughter? She went to Kansas State and majored in chemistry, but was never that into it. Anyway, so Cindy was talking about how they painted their house last year and the contractor wasn’t someone you would want to work with because when she talked to them he said that he wasn’t sure that the work was going well and he wanted to follow up to discuss the work with him. But then he said that it was ok and it all worked out. On the way back the dog had a limp, can you take her to the vet?”
Sorry, you have to picture a similar meandering explanation for something as that whole story has filled my brain for the morning.
If they didn’t interrupt you would still be having two conversations since they misunderstood what you were trying to say, but it would take longer to catch on.
They say Biden is still waiting to talk to Trump to this very day.
