Dr. Mike, do you understand what is going on in Gaza? 60,000 people are Dead (25,000 children): 200,000 wounded (arm& legs blown off): all the hospitals bombed so the Wounded & Chronically ill die: sewage plants bombed to spread disease... here is a Dr. from Gaza: https://youtu.be/Ip9lEnYa4q0
Both are horrible and need to stop, but the moral injury of hundreds of thousands of specific Palestinian lives that are now over is entirely different than the hypothetical, yet unrealized cost of cutting science.
What horse do you have in this race, man? What's the goal of your participation?
It’s probably higher. It’s bad. Don’t really care that much. It’s horrible. What do I do about it? Killing science is personal. Very personal. It can screw up our family so we would not be able to protest what’s happening in Gaza and I can do something about it.
Sure, the tens of thousands of kids dying from lack of aids medicine are just collateral damage? More are dying elsewhere than in Gaza. Suck it up and get real. We can cause death and destruction world wide.
Nobody’s conflating the application of science with the application of science? Imagine that? Who thinks these cures up? Who figures out how to deliver them? Who makes our lives better -and who doesn’t?
I am a fired scientist, but I disagree with your equivalency.
Weapons destroy human lives and infrastructure irrevocably. The cuts to science can and will shorten lives on an aggregate level, but the cuts themselves are yet reversible in a way an exploded bomb is not. Both bad, one permanent.
Yep. You are. Sorry. It’s part of fascism 201: there’s always something worse than my issue going on so you feel like it isn’t that bad. This is not an accident. This is planned. Do not surrender. Do not give in. Do not think you are powerless.

50,000 since October. Easily clears 100,000 if you consider the entire duration of the Israeli apartheid against Palestinians.
