I love how you make this about Israel and bury the lead about how your own service member killed himself cause your government fucked them up
He was literally protesting Israel. At their embassy. While shouting “Free Palestine”…
BTW, it’s “lede” and doesn’t really apply here.
TIL It’s lede.
He literally did it in protest for gaza.
Don’t know all the details yet, but does seem suspicious that maybe there is a mental health issue too? Not a huge leap to think that said mental health issue might be related to a stressful time like perhaps being in the military.
A lot of people are upset about the happenings in Gaza. Self ignition is not so common a reaction just yet at least.
self immolation has historically been about protesting, not about committing suicide.
Ok
In what way was it ‘made’ about Israel? I didn’t get that at all
Apparently adding facts makes it about Israel.
*In front of the Israel embassy *shouted “free Palestine”
i don’t get how it could not be about israel. are kids not taught what self-immolation is these days? I seem to remember learning about it in my 9th grade history classe
