\nTHE WORLD IS WAKING UP!<\/p>\n

US Airforce member, Aaron Bushnell, yesterday SET HIMSELF ON FIRE in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC in protest of the American government’s complicity in the genocide being committed in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Bushnell sadly lost his life in this heroic gesture to draw attention to the unlwful and inhumane atrocities being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n

“”I will no longer be complicit in genocide. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine””.<\/p>\n

Those were his final words as security officials rushed to extinguish the flames consuming his body after he poured a flammable liquid all over himself and lit himself on fire.<\/p>\n

SUCH COURAGE AND BRAVERY IS ADMIRABLE!<\/p>\n

An action like this in 2011 brought about the Arab Spring, a set of revolutions all across the Middle East. Let us hope this has a similar effect.<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nAaron Bushnell: This is Aaron Bushnell. I’m an active duty member of the United States Air Force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. <\/p>\n

police: Hi sir, can I help you? Can I help you sir? <\/p>\n

Aaron Bushnell: Free Palestine. <\/p>\n

Police: Man\u2019s on fire! Man\u2019s on fire! Get on the ground. On the ground. On the ground. On the ground. Get a fire extinguisher. Who’s got a fire extinguisher? Call the board. Call the board. Get me a fire extinguisher. Get the fire extinguisher. Jesus Christ. Get the fire extinguisher. I need a fire extinguisher. Another one. Another one. What is that? Who is this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
