Also, that claim is hilarious, because the ICC prosecutor was a very strong supporter of Israel and an arguable Zionist prior to this. It's actually why some are concerned he's going to purposefully mess up this whole thing.

Except when the ICC announced Putin as a violator. Biden and Blinken were very happy and supportive of the ICC when that happened. The two of them even said at the time that the ICC has the international rule of law on its side and all signatories should follow its arrest requirements.
I just want to put this general information out there to counter any potential misinformation pushers here or anywhere on this topic.
The ICC recognizes the Palestinian Authority and the State of Palestine as a state actor, not Hamas. And the PA ratified the Rome Statute in 2015, submitting their instrument of accession. Other partially recognized states are also free to join the Rome Statute if they choose, such as Taiwan, Kosovo, and more. The former is actually considering to do so as of last year in order to have more protections against China.
So, yes, Palestine is fully allowed recognition and jurisdiction by the ICC. This was helped by the UN making the State of Palestine an official non-member observer state in 2012.
Passages Alaska, founded in 2020. The website is incredibly vague on whom the therapy they use is for. They claim it's for teens who "struggle with anxiety, depression, technology addiction, low self-esteem, and failure to launch" which is, as stated, incredibly vague.
Actual medical anxiety and depression isn't the fault of the person and needs medicine, not "mindfulness therapy". And I have no idea what "technology addiction" is. This sounds like parents who are mad at their kid being on their phone all the time.
It seems to be some New Age-y nonsense with a bunch of meditation and yoga BS.
Why would any of these be mentioned in practically any class outside of some law and education courses?
This is the nuclear speech all over again.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

A new day, another reason to hate conservatives and their authoritarianism.
