Protests do work. The reason that protests work is because they carry an inherent threat, that a group of people X care enough about situation Y to do Z act. Self-immolation is one of the absolute most extreme forms of protests, which carries an inherent message that people are willing to do a massive amount to upset the status quo if it continues.
I don’t think Self-immolation is a good thing, there are definitely better pathways to getting change, but in martyring himself, he’s put a huge slant against the IDF.
No he really hasn’t. Nobody outside of the gop and the idf themselves likes them. This was just a mentally ill person committing suicide in a grand fashion.

The DNC likes them too, it’s the American people that don’t. The American political apparatus still supports the IDF and genocide.
