  • It’s such a shitty landscape right now.

    Is a given person uttering valid critique of Israel or is it veiled antisemitism? Is their opponent calling out real antisemitism or is it a dishonest defense of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel? Is real valid critique being answerd by honest but wrongly-addressed call outs of antisemitism? Is real antisemitism accepted as a valid critique?

    The example of this thread is definetly a dishonest defense of Israel, they could not have made it clearer that they will oppose valid criticism of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel.

    And I hate that, because equating Israel and jewish people is playing right into the hands of antisemites and into the hands of a murderous isreaeli government.









  • That’s not how bacteria multiply. There is horizontal gene-transfer, but that would be a very slim chance.

    No ancient bacteria aren’t the problem, multi-resistant strains that have already evolved and are evolving in our clinics are the real problem, some bacteria that haven’t been an issue for quite some time, because our antibiotics simply killed them, have now developed resistances and are suddenly becoming deadly again.

    E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella, some of the most prevalent bacteria in humans are rapidly becoming multi-drug-resistant and resistant to desinfectants like chlorine. These superbugs already account for a shockingly high number of deaths in healthcare facilities and the situation is only getting worse as more and more countries use increasing amounts of antimicrobials, kickstarting microbial evolution into overdrive.
