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.

All herbicides are pesticides. Pesticide is the umbrella term for herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, ect.

Agreed on BT plants. The funny thing about that one is that BT toxin is a common pesticide used in organic farming too (and all other farming) because it actually is so effective and non-toxic to vertebrates (hence why it was used to make the BT toxin producing plants in the first place). And yet the anti-GMO groups still fearmongered about the plants anyways, never seeing the hypocrisy in relation to what organic farming uses.

See, I was good with the article up until it started pushing long since debunked pseudoscience claims about glyphosate. The chemical biochemistry of it is clear and, yes, there have been dozens of studies over the years, which have shown that it is actually one of the lower impact pesticides used out there. Anyone using IARC as a source (when that’s not even what IARC is for or about) is betraying their own anti-science stance.

And then they bring up nonsense about organic farming. Organic farming, on average, ends up having to use more pesticides because they use non-specific “natural” ones that are less effective against targeted weeds and thus have to be re-applied more often, such as pyrethrins and spinosad. Furthermore, the use of manure instead of options like drip irrigation causes more nitrogen leaching into the water table than conventional farming methods. If all of our farms were organic farms, this issue would be way worse. Example source: https://hess.copernicus.org/articles/18/333/2014/

And that’s without counting the higher land usage requirements for an equivalent amount of food production from an organic farm compared to a non-organic one. If all our farms were organic, the amount of farmland would be way higher and there’s be way less wilderness areas.

pats your head It’s okay, I know reading comprehension is difficult for some people.

I’ve seen so many pro-Israel people essentially make a “look what you made me do” argument every time the IDF murders a child. It’s gross.

He didn’t need to order is specifically. He was kept in prison in terrible conditions and died because of that. The outcome of his dying was still what Putin wanted (or at least didn’t care if it happened). No orders required.

This sort of reporting and claims from the intelligence community feels like obfuscation by using a technically true statement, but irrelevant to the overall issue.

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.

Even /r/worldnews isn’t able to do much arguing against the new West Bank settlement expansion. There were some shills in the discussions over there still trying to push a “they deserve it” narrative, but it wasn’t getting much traction.

The best they can do at this point is try and push all blame on Netanyahu and Likud.

I honestly don’t think they know, not for all of them at least. The bombing has likely disrupted their communications with various regions that their groups are residing in and any groups that stopped reporting in makes it unclear if they all died and whether the hostages died with them.

Additionally, we already know that there were a number of other groups involved on October 7th that weren’t Hamas and they each kidnapped a handful of hostages. I don’t know if Hamas is able to get info from those other groups on the status of things.

But…they don’t? Their mainline games are always a few years apart (with the exception of Bloodborne, which they had a separate team doing concurrently).

Unless you’re referring to the other games they publish that no one really knows about or comments on? I don’t think Metal Wolf Chaos XD, Déraciné, or Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village DX should really factor into the discussion.

It’s massively important in the sciences, both for computing purposes and theoretical design and investigation purposes.

AI is completely revolutionizing genetics research and subjects like biochemistry and pharmacology, because it’s able to extrapolate from already identified genes and compounds and find new ones or identify the purposes of genes just from their sequence structure.

It’s made processes that would take weeks or months just to identify a single new component to something that takes days or hours.

The question is whether English Isles or British Isles is worse. Hmm…

Not sure why anything JPost says about Gaza or the West Bank is believable in the slightest. We have so many, many examples of them blatantly lying about anything and everything in the past.

But, of course, the retraction is much less noticed as compared to the original fake claim.

Also, unusual hair colors has been in use for thousands of years, with blue hair being the most prominent color used in places like Egypt and the English Isles.

Israel made an agreement with the hospital to let an ambulance go and save her. And then blew up the ambulance when it got there. There’s no other definition of that than pure evil.

Conservatives always accuse others of the things they do.

And what about the claim that’s been floating around that the IDF had their helicopters just fire at everyone and anyone at the concert area? They’ve been calling that a conspiracy theory, but this really calls it into question.

The interesting thing about this is that Israel (and all of the IDF defenders across the internet) has been categorically denying that anything of this sort happened at all and have actively been calling it a conspiracy theory pushed by Hamas supporters.

Now that we have active proof it happened at least this one time, it calls into question their denial about other such claimed incidents, such as that the IDF had their helicopters just fire at anyone and everyone on the ground at the concert.

It really does seem like they went full Hannibal Doctrine.
