    • There’s a lake in my town which exists (antisemitism).

    • The reason it exists is it is fed by a stream (deep-rooted cultural antisemitist sentiment as a cultural practice that uses desire to scapegoat, etc).

    • However, events such as storms, droughts, human water use (crusades, nazism, nakba) have caused this lake to rise higher or lower over the years.

    To acknowledge that events contribute to the rise or the fall of the water level is not the same as claiming that the events are the cause of it existing per se.

      line 1 and line 3 are fine. Line 2 is where you and most likely tons of others make light of the problem. Bye.

        @philo thanks. If line 3 is fine then I’ve sucessfully made my point, since line 3 is the part you had a problem with above.
