So, in short, the government of Tennessee wants children to be murdered. Because that's all this will cause.
Yes, we should have severe punishments for this crime and crimes similar to it. But execution for any crime just means the person committing it has no reason not to go to the extreme to cover it up. In this case, that means murdering the child after raping them, because they're already going to be killed for the first crime in the first place. They might as well make sure their risk of being caught is lessened by getting rid of the kid entirely.

That's precisely why I consider conflating anti-Zionism as anti-semitic is itself anti-semitic. Because it is Zionists trying to tie the Jewish identity and Jewishness as a whole to everything Israel does. Which is just insulting to all Jewish peoples.
See, I was good with the article up until it started pushing long since debunked pseudoscience claims about glyphosate. The chemical biochemistry of it is clear and, yes, there have been dozens of studies over the years, which have shown that it is actually one of the lower impact pesticides used out there. Anyone using IARC as a source (when that's not even what IARC is for or about) is betraying their own anti-science stance.
And then they bring up nonsense about organic farming. Organic farming, on average, ends up having to use more pesticides because they use non-specific "natural" ones that are less effective against targeted weeds and thus have to be re-applied more often, such as pyrethrins and spinosad. Furthermore, the use of manure instead of options like drip irrigation causes more nitrogen leaching into the water table than conventional farming methods. If all of our farms were organic farms, this issue would be way worse. Example source: https://hess.copernicus.org/articles/18/333/2014/
And that's without counting the higher land usage requirements for an equivalent amount of food production from an organic farm compared to a non-organic one. If all our farms were organic, the amount of farmland would be way higher and there's be way less wilderness areas.
All herbicides are pesticides. Pesticide is the umbrella term for herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, ect.
Agreed on BT plants. The funny thing about that one is that BT toxin is a common pesticide used in organic farming too (and all other farming) because it actually is so effective and non-toxic to vertebrates (hence why it was used to make the BT toxin producing plants in the first place). And yet the anti-GMO groups still fearmongered about the plants anyways, never seeing the hypocrisy in relation to what organic farming uses.
They apparently mean private as in invisible to the legal system and not a part of any public records. Not sure what property has ever worked like that for them to be basing such an idea off of.

Canary Mission is indeed one of the organizations that does. They aren't the only Israeli government funded group doing such targeted harassment, but they seem to be the main one.
And people have been. A counter group was made called the Raven Mission that calls out explicitly pro-Zionism and pro-genocide people and their comments.
I'm talking about right now. For example, for the people in Rafah. Do the Palestinians in Rafah have the right to fight back against the IDF that is shelling them and attacking their homes with tanks?
