Scientists Call On Harper To Restore Funding

Sorry, sounds stupid to me. They have done a ton of good in the world and that's what matters.

I agree. If you can stomach their leftist political leadership, then what matters is the "good" that they do. I can't stomach it, or at least wish they wouldn't be political at all.

Dr. Marie Pierre Allie, president of MSF France
also described the conflict in similar biased and
unsupported terms,
We are told that the population is warned
before every attack, but people have nowhere
to flee, nowhere to take refuge. In more than
40 years of work in conflict situations, MSF
has rarely faced such levels of violence against
civilian populations. Whether in Somalia,
the DRC, or even Darfur, none of those wars produced so many deaths in so little time.
Our goal is not to establish a hierarchy of
war horrors, but to denounce the cynical way
in which Israel is carrying out its military
offensive, with no respect for civilians.99

Allie’s facile comparison of Israel to the
intentional killings of hundreds of thousands in
Darfur, the Congo and Somalia underline the
presumption that Israel is engaging in deliberate
and unprovoked mass slaughter of civilians.
This also immorally absolves Hamas and other
terrorist groups for attacks targeting Israeli
civilians and endangering innocent residents of
Gaza.
Allie’s comments are also factually inaccurate,
to understate the case.

Ok - I'll admit that my description was a bit over the top. We all have to prioritize our giving and decide what we feel is ethically and morally within our personal stand on things. I agree that they do a lot of good things. I generally don't give to giant international organizations as a rule, whether they are crazy left wing or crazy right wing.

you post stuff like this, and then wonder why the Conservatives won a majority? This is complete poppycock, yet unfortunately not much different from all of the other nonsense I found that supposedly supports this nefarious plan to "muzzle" scientists. When you post this kind of thing, it just makes me doubt this whole hypothesis even more, as it just shows that emotion and lunacy are ruling the debate.
