Increasingly, mainstream Democrats have sought to carve out a space for “acceptable” Zionism by saying that they support Israel but oppose Bibi Netanyahu. But the horrors of Gaza are a result of processes far more vast than one right-wing leader.
Lol what are you talking about? Many things can have a stem, such as a plant, which is not the same as the stem itself. According to all major dictionaries, stem can mean the main trunk of a plant, but it can also mean other certain plant part providing support. So your claim doesn’t hold.
That… doesn’t address my claim at all. A plant can have a million stems, if you wish. We’re taking about a single stem, which comes from somewhere. If all of it comes from one place, it cannot also come from another.
No, we are taking about violence in a region, which can have many causes and origins. Violence in the region has stemmed from a combination of religion and foreign interference (and presumably many other things). If this isn’t what your claim addresses, then your claim is irrelevant to this conversation.
Oh, buddy. You’re in the wrong stem of this conversation. I said in my very first comment that I had no interest in being a part of the actual discussion and I was just complaining about the phrasing used. If you wanted to be part of the actual conversation, you should have picked literally any other comment to reply to.
What I’m saying is, you went to a court house and starting arguing your case to the hobo sleeping on the steps. Can’t say that’s on the hobo.
Lol dude I am also not arguing about the main point, my contention is that you’re being uppity with phrasing when you are in fact entirely wrong. If you’re gonna be a grammar Nazi you have to at least be correct.
edit: ah nevermind I understand from your most recent comment that you’re just trolling
Some definitions include the word “main”… and many definitions don’t. So actually I don’t see anything necessarily indicating that there can only be one stem.
If “all of it” stems from one thing, it can’t “all of it” stem from another thing. I’m not arguing for either, I’m just uppity about logic.
Of course it can—why do you think something can’t have multiple stems? No one said that it stems exclusively from one thing.
The “stem” is the thing itself, not the thing it stems from. A stem can’t come from two places.

I don’t think it counts as trolling if I was clear about my intentions.
That’s kind of what the word “stem” means, both literally and figuratively.
