Anderson fired an AR-15-style weapon and Graham was armed with a 12-gauge shotgun as they entered the store, officials said. A 9mm Glock and 9mm semi-automatic firearm were recovered inside the market, and a .22-caliber gun equipped with a homemade silencer was found inside the assailants’ vehicle. The four-hour gun battle at the JC Kosher Supermarket erupted after the assailants shot police officer Joseph Seals at a nearby cemetery and then fled in a white van. It ended after police crashed an armored vehicle through the wall of the market.

Continued from Page A1 Trigger In one of the strongest calls yet from Europe for a new agreement to replace the 2015 deal that Washington abandoned two years ago, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the way forward was to agree a new “Trump deal.” Washington’s European allies have tried to keep the nuclear agreement from collapsing since President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of it in 2018. Under the agreement, international sanctions against Iran were lifted in return for Tehran agreeing to curbs on its nuclear program. But Washington has reimposed sanctions, denying Iran most of the economic benefits. Iran has responded by gradu- ally exceeding many of the limitations it had signed up to in the deal. This month it said it would abandon limits on its production of enriched uranium, a step the Europeans said was likely to force them to respond. The European diplomats said Britain, France and Germany would notify the European Union later on Tuesday that they were triggering the dispute resolution mechanism. Under the mechanism outlined in the deal, the EU would then inform the other parties — Russia and China as well as Iran itself. There would then be 15 days to resolve the differences, a deadline which can be extended by consensus. The process can ultimately lead to a “snapback” — the reimposition of sanctions in place under previous U.N. resolutions. Credibility “At one point we have to show our credibility,” said one of the European diplomats. The second diplomat said: “Our inten- tion is not to restore sanctions, but to resolve our differences through the very mechanism that was created in the deal.” Washington’s exit from the nuclear pact, and the severe economic distress caused by the American sanctions that Continued Above A6 | FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2020 Opinion.

The assumption is that arguments and content are of marginal importance, while what really matters is how they are presented to the public. And when the message becomes marginalized, it can be changed like socks based on political needs, since what really matters is how much it echoes. This is how terms that define groups of association, identity and outlook, such as “right,” “left,” “ultra-Orthodox” or “Arab,” have become insults designed to delegitimize entire sectors.
