US soldier self immolation outside Israeli embassy

Absolutely it should be front page. A USA soldier killing himself in front of the israeli embassy because he wanted no part in the American backed genocide in Israel is massive news. It's too big for MSM to deal with.

 

If this guy is European descent it will show the culture difference between the West and the Levant.
Aaron Bushnell did what Jan Palach did in Czechoslovakia to protest against the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops.

People from the Levant protest different way, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_France_bombings
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo_shooting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks

 

Doh lmao. Using this logic, Israelis protest by committing genocide in gaza.

Smh. Reading some posts here is therapeutic though, much like how Buddhist monks force themselves to watch snuff movies.

 

Its on front page in BBC. Happy?

 

All he did was explain to the world that he was nuts. What a fool.

 

No they go to war with the terrorists that created the problem.

 

Less money wasted on waste people. I'm sure though his spot on the sidewalk he would have lived on in the future will be just taken up by someone else. There is plenty of other democrats have no idea this happened as to follow his lead.

 

The thing is, nothing is being done to Gazans. Gazans brought this on themselves. That's why protests get no traction, because they have undercut their own purpose.

 

And yet here you are, fully drawn in, ranting and raving about Israel.

 

That is why he protested, because of false beliefs and propaganda like this. He became disillusioned by USA governments role in this disinformation campaign that DIRECTLY IMPACTED his life.

The faux Israeli supporters don't feel this same impact, sitting behind their computer banging on the keyboard

 

I'm just telling the truth.

 

Does 'antisemitism' mean killing or disadvantaging Palestinians or European Jewish people or someone else?

 

They do get traction, but I guess you'll complain about that as well.

 

Why the hell would this nut job setting himself on fire alter opinions on the current Israeli battle?

 

Antisemitism apparently means whatever white JewISH europeans say it means, even if the Oxford dictionary disagrees. If there is one thing this conflict has taught me it's that the Israeli government is never wrong

 

Fellow soldiers will likely be offended by all the comments about Aaron being a nutjob.

 

They'll get over it

 

Yes, Aaron Bushnell evidently wanted to help people in other countries fight terrorists, but
managed to work out that we often are the terrorists and decided to do what he could to
stop it, that's my best guess.

I was within a few months of being drafted into the Vietnam war and I was very anti
communist, I would have been completely taken in.

 

I suggested that for 'Build Back Better' we should do what we did in the Great
Depression and ask the Army Corps of Engineers to run the projects instead of
just friends and family of politicians and big political donors.

That would avoid unemployment issues if ever we weren't actually at war.

In this city here the Mayor allocated a housing project for the homeless and it
came in the end at 3x the commercial rate.

It's not that I'm ideologically on the right, but the 'left' in the US is very prone to corruption.

What we need in everything we do is what this soldier had and that is
good intentions.

Then all that is needed is a way to use those good intentions

 

A lot of people are not paying attention to the atrocities Israel is committing, and many are not aware that the US is complicit, even as prevalent as it is in the news. sometimes it takes an extreme act like this to get people to pay attention. I think it is going to end up putting a LOT more pressure on Biden to demand that Israel begin treating the Palestinians as human beings worthy of life, rather than just exterminating them like bugs that do not matter.

 

Doubt it, did you even watch the video. He was burning for a good 60 seconds at least, still shouting in protest until he collapsed

 

Not among the informed.

 

Well maybe that's why this guy decided on such extreme actions, because ppl like you are not paying attention.

 

Just refreshed their front page (app) and nope, it's not been on there all day. About 20 stories ATM and none on this. Looks like even BBC is scared to run it as a cover story.

The first person on the scene was secret service and they released a statement saying a man with mental health issues has set himself on fire.

Oh dear, that's not good PR by the cia concerning the army. Very prejudice statement with awful tropes used about serving members. The CIA is already putting a spin on this, trying to discredit the deceased and smear the image of a dedicated and devout young Christian man

 

It appears he was struggling with some mental health challenges.
