NYU Langone Health. Dunno about the names.

Especially since we know there are tanks and IDF in Rafah itself as of this weekend. So even the claim that it was “only an airstrike, not a ground invasion” seems like a flat out lie.

They’ve actually been doing this sort of thing for a while now. They decided rather than pro-environmentalism, they’d rather just be anti-science in general. It’s the same with them protesting any use of nuclear anywhere for any reason.

What American biotech crops? Golden rice was developed by a group of university researchers in Switzerland and have been distributing the rice for free via NGOs.

They’ve been doing that for two decades. Golden rice could have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives by now. Especially the later versions we’re on now. Hopefully it doesn’t violate the self-promotion rules for me to link an article I wrote a long, long time ago on Golden Rice 3.0 and its improved benefits.

I haven’t kept up with the project since, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re on 4.0 or beyond by now, the scientists involved have been working tirelessly for years to make the rice even better and more beneficial for the people who need it.

And anti-science idiots like Greenpeace have been fighting them every step of the way.

I just want to put this general information out there to counter any potential misinformation pushers here or anywhere on this topic.

The ICC recognizes the Palestinian Authority and the State of Palestine as a state actor, not Hamas. And the PA ratified the Rome Statute in 2015, submitting their instrument of accession. Other partially recognized states are also free to join the Rome Statute if they choose, such as Taiwan, Kosovo, and more. The former is actually considering to do so as of last year in order to have more protections against China.

So, yes, Palestine is fully allowed recognition and jurisdiction by the ICC. This was helped by the UN making the State of Palestine an official non-member observer state in 2012.

Passages Alaska, founded in 2020. The website is incredibly vague on whom the therapy they use is for. They claim it’s for teens who “struggle with anxiety, depression, technology addiction, low self-esteem, and failure to launch” which is, as stated, incredibly vague.

Actual medical anxiety and depression isn’t the fault of the person and needs medicine, not “mindfulness therapy”. And I have no idea what “technology addiction” is. This sounds like parents who are mad at their kid being on their phone all the time.

It seems to be some New Age-y nonsense with a bunch of meditation and yoga BS.

That’s precisely why I consider conflating anti-Zionism as anti-semitic is itself anti-semitic. Because it is Zionists trying to tie the Jewish identity and Jewishness as a whole to everything Israel does. Which is just insulting to all Jewish peoples.

So, they just have to let themselves be blown up and shot and fighting back is illegal?

I’m talking about right now. For example, for the people in Rafah. Do the Palestinians in Rafah have the right to fight back against the IDF that is shelling them and attacking their homes with tanks?

Question: Is it appropriate for those civilians to get weapons and fight back against the IDF that is killing them?

It’s not backed by actual money. It’s practically an “IOU” bond. It would be ridiculous if any judge accepted it.

No, it’s for the prior year. A lot of awards are named that way.

Really makes me wonder what the meaning behind Lavender is in this context. There could quite easily be some horrific intention behind using that specific word in correlation to this murder system.

Couldn’t you use that same claim to say that multiple known genocides weren’t because the populations are higher now? Heck, I see morons use the same argument to claim China isn’t committing genocide because the Uighur population is higher now.

The fallacious “but the population is higher” argument is an idiotic attempt to whitewash genocide.

He seems to specifically be gunning for the demographic of both right and left wing people that support pseudoscience nonsense. All the anti-vaxxers, for example. It’s certainly entirely possible he’d steal more voters from Trump than from Biden.

I thought that was Jr’s goal? He seems to be chumming up with right wing conspiracies pretty well.

Apologies for actually knowing the history of the subject. I’ve had these debates with misinformed people on subject regarding Clinton, Biden, and so many others going back years. For some reason, far left people actively fall for made up right wing BS claims about Democrats.

Really? You’re bringing up that long since debunked canard? I can only assume you don’t know anything about the context because you were a child when said vote happened.

Hint: That vote in question wasn’t actually about allowing a war. And it didn’t help that Bush actively lied about what intel we had from Iraq and Afghanistan. He really should have faced charges for that alongside Cheney.

Feel free to point out what corruption and morals you’re referring to that aren’t based on conspiracy theories or made up right wing mud-slinging then.

I remember a lot of the usual made up claims about her being anti-LGBT despite her long history of actually supporting the LGBT community (and voting or not voting for gay marriage in NYS is not a gotcha about her history or her reasons then).

It reminds me a lot of the made up nonsense about Biden’s history with the African American community that right wingers and leftists were trying to mudsling over, yet said groups still being perplexed why he continued to have such massive support in said community. Because despite twisting of statements from decades ago, it was his actions that mattered. And that there’s context to those actions (such as how the black community itself was the primary pushing force behind the 1994 crime bill).
