On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. Immediately before the act, which was live-streamed on Twitch, Bushnell said that he was protesting against “what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers” and declared that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide”, after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire.

      My old profile on kbin.social was created 2 years ago, after kbin.social went offline I made a lemmy.world account then made one on this MBin instance.

      It’s very difficult to not post anti Israeli stuff if your posts are related to the middle east, or if you have a shred of empathy.

      Fuck the state of Israel, fuck its propaganda machine, fuck the genocide, fuck netanyahu. I feel for the citizens of Israel who are against the war and have little power to stop it.

      LOL, you do realize that suggesting it’s “anti-Israeli” to oppose genocide is itself incredibly “anti-Israeli” right?
