What does that have to do with her explicitly stating her approval of the execution and murder videos?

"If you can look at the situation and not be on the side of Palestinians, then you are on the wrong side of apartheid and history will show that in time,"

This post on her part was fine, but the other one...not so much. She should have stuck with this one only, rather than whatever the frick murderous thing that other post was.

Yeah, it's a terrible idea. You want such discrimination to be legally responded to using existing non-discrimination law, not something specific to it.

They're one of the groups with a long history going back decades of fearmongering about biotechnology. Since I'm a molecular biologist (and active in the skeptic and scientific communication areas), I've known about them for a while.

They're closely tied with the Organic Consumer's Association, which is even more insane on the pseudoscience, pushing things like chemtrails.

I would like more details on what "ties" means, since US Right To Know is a well known pseudoscience and fearmongering group, pushing anti-vaccine nonsense among other things. It doesn't help that "big agriculture, ultra-processed food companies, pharmaceutical companies and other corporate organizations" is ridiculously broad.

Yes, people on a food and nutrition panel are going to have some tie to...food and nutrition as a field. That's not a surprising statement.

And how they are connected to the specific companies listed needs explaining, since the US Right To Know group has in the past claimed that any form of email conversation or a company donating to a university someone works at counts as ties.

I guess natural decay without bodily preservation fluids is the most environmentally friendly.

"into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip"

This is worded strangely. Are these towns in Israel or are they in the Gaza Strip? Based on the rest of the article, I assume in Gaza, especially with the hostages note that don't seem to be kidnapped people from elsewhere.

Wait, in fact, reading the article again, is this all entirely taking place in Gaza? There was no actual incursion into Israel?

But then it says "deadliest attack in Israel" and "were also taken captive and brought into Gaza". So I'm confused again.

Where the heck is this all happening? Because Israel and Gaza are two different places.

I still remember the extended universe book about one of Vader's gloves infecting the wearer and taking over their body.

By that, you mean criticism of China's known actions that are detrimental to their neighboring countries and the world?

If you want to call that "anti-China", then sure, but it's an appropriate reason to be, just as appropriate as being "anti-Russia".

I don't really have any idea of owning a home for the rest of my life. Even making enough money to potentially get close seems impossibly out of reach.

Thankfully, any actual new type using modern tech have self-limiting reactions. Thorium ones, for example, can't meltdown because the high heat in that process kills the reaction itself.
