yes, this is expected for the cause, even for us Americans...sacrifice our defense and security for Palestinian pride.

You must be joking. More like sacrifice international law for "our closest ally" Israel. Tick tock. This bs narrative is on its way out.

I would be happy to stay out of this but my TAX DOLLARS are going to fund the war. I don’t want blood on my hands and will vehemently protest any aid to Israel. If they want to get rid of Hamas, then they can do it on their own dime. We have so much more use for that money in our own country.

That's catchy but your tax dollars are also spent on a zillion other things you have zero understanding of

DP. That may be true, but I have a good understanding of Israel repeatedly bombing, shooting and starving innocent Palestinians. And I don't like my tax dollars funding it.

NP. Good Lord. Your tax dollars? That is the hill you choose to die on??

The innocent Gazan lives being extinguished by this war are precious, whether you pay taxes or not. Do I like that my tax dollars are being used this way? No. But it hardly matters.

It is an extremely painful way to die and the truth is that nothing would make an impression at the Israeli Embassy

Except, shutting off all funding to Israel, banning weapons exports to them world wide, making it a federal offense to donate money to fund settlements and sanctions

A person setting themselves on fire- meh.

There is not even very much coverage in the US press about the degree of barbarity IDF is acting with. Here is some truth telling everyone in Washington should be aware of: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/25/we-started-a-group-chat-to-help-fellow-doctors-in-gaza-then-it-went-quiet

It is heartbreaking. However, he sent a message. The least you can do is not try and silence that.

Go to hell. Sorry the world is waking up to the sickness that is Israel. It seems to be bringing out your true self.

I feel for those Israelis who are wonderful human beings. They are surrounded by a majority that is in full support of the genocide taking place in Gaza.

Why? Some messages are not worth repeating and should be shamed.

There are pictures of Thich Quang Duc’s self immolation in US textbooks to this day. It is extremely brave to choose this pain as a visible protest of the evil a government is causing to people.

He will be remembered as mentally ill, if at all.
