Quiz: What changed?
Read about the history of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Nazi movement which began in 1928. Israel is a sovereign country and has the right to declare war when they are attacked just like us. Get over it. We are the ones that wage war without a legal declaration by congress.
ReplyDeleteGenetic Modification (GM) is a process where the historical genetic lineage of an organism is modified by an external actor to change the genetic codes and produce, what some argue, is a new organism.
