One tries to open uo humanitarian corridors, the other one wants Israel to finish the job. One is celebrated by Netanyahu, one isnt.

But both sides same

Ich kann diese scheiß Wahl nicht mehr. Ca. 300.000 Stimmen für Jill Stein, vielen Dank für nichts.

Trump holt sogar den popular Vote. Können wir bitte einfach die US dicht machen? Wie kann man denn kollektiv so geistig zurückgeblieben sein. Wirklich, ich will mich einfach nur besaufen

Remind me again: What legislative power does China hold over Taiwan? And can the Brits reclaim their former territory too?

Tree Diagrams can be useful to structure a sentence, but the UG system of "assume one system fits every language cuz inherent ability" is bad.

If you want to check your understanding of how phrases, clauses and words connect to each other in a certain language, trees can be pretty powerful.

To the latter point: My biggest gripe with linguistics is the tendency to boil everything down to a simple system.

Do you want to elaborate more on how politeness cant be explained by gricean maximes?

Your post indicates that any other coutry or faction will say nothing about this. Hence silence.

Dont know why youre upset about someone pointing that out.

The largest armed force in the gaza strip is deeply religious and the entire reason the support they receive from their biggest ally, the IRR, is religion. If Hamas were Sunni muslims instead of Shia, Iran would remain silent. Just as they were, when their Shia allies in Syria and Yemen started to massacre non-Shia in the region.
