Aaron Bushell grab the attention of the world and is up to the people of the world to stop aiding and abetting government and military on genocidal conduct. Don’t vote, don’t pay and don’t go to anything that smell like support for Israel.
Melihat poto ini membuatku sedih, Dia pasti bangga akan dirinya ketika menjadi bagian militer di AS, Tugas dia adalah melindungi negara tercinta dan orang di dalamnya, tetapi tentu saja membunuh orang tidak bersalah menodai seragam kebesaran mereka.. Dia melakukan bakar diri dengan memakai seragam kebanggan nya, dia masih sangat muda, tapi hati dia terbuat dari berlian 😢😢.. Cinta untukmu ❤❤
Aeron bushnell, stay in peace, Great courage you had, free Palestine…
Such a huge ❤this man gave us to further strengthen our own support of Palestinians in their homeland in desperate need of peace, safety, shelter, aide & all your freedoms, NOW!! Godspeed Aaron, for your sacrifice of the highest order❤
People said that John Brown was insane. But his cause rang true. Also, we now call Pro-Slave Baptists “Southern” Baptists. RIP, Aaron
Aaron knew the west were fighting in tunnels, in Gaza . SAS .
In the words of will ferral… ‘what an idiot’ 😅
May god help you enough 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
US AIRMAN AARON BUSHNELL, AWARE OF THE TRUTH, BURNED HIMSELF OUT OF SHAME. DEMONS RULE THE USA.
American Special Forces, together with the murderer and terrorist soldiers of Zionist Israel, are subjecting innocent babies, children, women and elderly civilians to genocide in Gaza. They murdered more than 30 people.
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN LIVE COMFORTABLE IN THE WORLD WHILE INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING GENOCIDE?
Fuerza palestina y honor y gloria a HAMAS
Rest In Peace, golden heart soul. I can’t ever I agree with his actions because it ended his life, but just that I know he cared.
Rip Aaron❤🤲🏽, free Palestine 🇵🇸
Hamas was responsible for this as well as the deaths of the Palestinians. Hamas needs to surrender. They caused this. Free Palestine, HAMAS. Free it.
Aaron Bushnell died because he had too much humanity for a world run by people who don’t have any.
Din’t better for him fight for Palestine shake ?
Very stuppit
Free Palestine
pay tribute! The great international humanitarian fighter Aaron Bushnell! The United States genocide the Hamas people, Western media collectively silenced them, and YouTube and various networks removed videos and articles. This is the so-called democratic freedom of speech in the West. This soldier’s grandfather is a soldier, his parents are active duty soldiers in the United States, he is also an active duty soldier in the United States, and he is an American patriot with strong roots. He loved the United States so much that he could not stand the atrocities in the United States. In order to find a home for his conscience that had no place to rest, he lit a fire three times but failed. Those were the three times God saved him. Finally, he asked Satan to borrow fire and practiced his own faith under Satan’s respectful eyes. , flying to heaven in the respectful eyes of Satan. In the end, he had no hesitation and used his young life to arouse people’s last conscience. However, during the forty seconds that he was burned by the flames, he kept standing upright. The person who was burned until he screamed and lost his voice, the last roar before death was actually the same sentence: “Liberate Palestine.” No matter how ugly the world is, there are always people who stand up and shine with the brilliance of humanity! If the war is always shrouded in darkness and the light of justice cannot be seen, then I will burn my body and use the fire of life to illuminate this darkness! pay tribute! Great International Humanitarian Fighter-Aaron Bushnell😊
Big SHAME on 57 Muslim leaders who did nothing for Gaza.they fear creatures not the creator.their heart are filled with pleasures of this world.money.fame etc and no piety for their Muslim brothers.
The world seems to be selectively blind to harrowing events unfolding, such as the livestream of Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation. The images go viral on social media and are hotly discussed. But while superficial news adorns the headlines elsewhere, Aaron Bushnell’s actions and message remain eerily silent in the mainstream media.
In the few moments of attention paid to the event, he is quickly portrayed as depressed or mentally unstable, allowing people to get away with paying little attention to his message. However, he was fully aware of what he was doing and given that it emerged from within his own ranks it is just about the strongest imaginable indictment of government policy. He saw it as a necessity and hoped to make people think about it. He literally sacrificed his life, in the most horrific way, to draw attention to the injustice against the Palestinians. His self-sacrifice and the extreme pain he suffered for it justify a little more depth in his act and the motivations behind it.
Consider the iconic images of the monk in Vietnam who set himself on fire and thus became a symbol of resistance to discrimination. Or the man in Tunisia who, with his self-immolation, expressed the extreme despair of the Arabs and thus unleashed the Arab Spring.
How big is the contrast in reporting now that the self-igniter’s message is not in the interests of those in power? How different would it be if it were a Ukrainian who set himself on fire in front of the Russian embassy, or a Jew seeking the release of the hostages? This contrast is further reinforced by the fact that Aaron Bushnell did not just perform his act anywhere, but right in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington and live in front of the eyes of the world. And this in the middle of an extreme situation in Gaza that has been gripping the world for months.
In a world of fair and impartial journalism, this event would undoubtedly dominate all talk shows and news broadcasts. Aaron Bushnell’s last words were that as extreme as the act he was about to perform, it is not extreme at all compared to what Palestinians experience on a daily basis. The same can be said about seeing his act: As gruesome and extreme as it may be, it pales in comparison to the extremity of his act and the pain he willingly endured for the sake of his message.
Therefore, do not be fooled by the double standards in the media and dare to face his actions. Try to understand what drove him to this ultimate act of desperation and what message he wanted to convey to us. If Palestinians are on fire every day and Aaron Bushnell is willing to sacrifice his life, then watching his protest is the least we can do.
Aaron Bushnell is a resistance hero.
Free Palestine.
АРОН❤ПУСТЬ АЛЛАХ ПОМИЛУЕТ ТЕБЯ.МЫ МОЛИМСЯ ЧТОБ ТВАЯ ДУША В ЧИСЛЕ ШАХИДОВ ПОПАЛА В РАЙ ФИРДАВС АМИИН АЛЛОХУ АКБАР ❤❤❤🇺🇿

第一次为一个美国人痛心，流泪😢 真正的人性的英雄。
而他们的警察第一反应居然是拿枪指着他，我真的感到窒息。
this is what we call a psychopath
Long live Israel
Says alot how all propaganda outlets are radio silent over this
No human in the world is at equilibrium with the current situation in Palestine.
RIP young man. Your soul like all of us is in turmoil and I pray for your salvation!
He was a moron and al jazeera is hate speech that hates human life.
💔💔💔🍉🍉🍉🍉
So just to clarify he burned to death? Why did no one intervene?
Unfortunately, I still see people here who think Israel is right, but of course I’m not angry with them because they don’t know the truth and only Hamas attacked Israel That’s why they say it kills 100 innocent children every day, but what did Israel do before Hamas attacked?? If you have the heart or the courage to face the facts, investigate objectively.
rise of nations gameplay gone wrong
So he was stupid and standing with terrorists so he got what was coming ……sounds about right
If Muslim Arabs followed the Quran, this young man would be alive today! Arab rulers and some Islamic countries committed crimes with their silence
It is our loss for losing you. Plenty of people have heard from you in such a cruelly sad manner.
“a winter blizzard cannot extinguished the fire in his heart”. Rest in peace beautiful soul!
Who was he? someone with a level of will and integrity that very few have RIP Aaron
aaron bushnell was a traitor who wished death upon his own people. you globalists are in a cult and u dont even realize it

SATANYAHU and ISRAHELL and the collaborators sooner or later by Allah’s permission shall never escape the justice of the only one true God ALLAH Matthew 8:11-12 and John 8:40-48 and for the collaborators Matthew 7 vs 21-23 and Mark 13 vs 21-23
I never ever thought that I would ever in my lifetime pray for an American serviceman

Bravest soldier in the US Army …
After seeing Arabs mock Aaron Bushnell’s death online, I’m now indifferent to the suffering in Gaza.
الله يرحمه ويغفر له يارب العالمين امين 🤲
As the politicians were like oh my gosh this guy Burned himself let’s stop making hand over fist on money😂😂😂
sad for the way he chose, cant image his suffering
Free Free Palestin stop genocid in Gaza city free Palestinian people save Palestine
Extremely touching, thanks for sharing!
Aaron Bushnell what a pathetic weak-minded individual. Hamas creeped into his brain and he became a mindless sheep.
Thank you for your family and suppoter palestin
1:44 “Jenny”, formerly know as JASON doesn’t realise that in arab countries he/she would be executed by being thrown off a building
Una noticia triste…descansa en paz Aaron.
i love you you give soul and body for humanty god help you
❤🙏🏻❤
R.I.P.Aaron😭💔🙏God be with you😭💔🙏💐
Share! Talk! Write!
That’s one excessive way to get out of morning marching 🤣
lol he used George Floyd as grounds for his mindset, what a disgrace to the people and the uniform. Palestine is still burning after your pointless death.
He was weak and ignorant. He wasn’t worthy of the uniform. Ignorant and worthless.
АЛЛАХ, АЛЛАХ, АЛЛАХ ЖАЛЛА ЖАЛОЛУХУ 🤲🤲🤲🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ПАЛЕСТИН ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊🕊🕊
АЛЛАХ ☝️ …..👎 НЕТАНЬЯХУ – ….. 👎 ⚡️⚡️⚡️👊👊👊 🔥🔥🔥…….
Did you forget about the Hamas attack on innocent people back in October. Hamas terrorist sneak attack of music festivals, beaches, homes; where families were brutally tortured, gunned down or taken hostage. Where was your protest then?
It is not right to kill oneself, whatever the reason. God doesn’t allow it. God gave life and only God has the right to take it.
No this shouldn’t of happened because this poor kids death like the thousands of dead in Palestine will be ignored by world “leaders” who are underfoot of the Israeli government
Aaron Bushnell last words: I will no longer be complicit in genocide….
DEAR CONFUSED PROTESTERS,
PEOPLE ARE NOT YET AWARE THAT HAMAS IS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH KILLING MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAN WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING RIGHT NOW IN SELF-DEFENSE. THEY WILL BE. IT IS ARROGANT TO TELL A NATION TO CEASE DEFENDING ITS PEOPLE FROM BEING MASS HARMED BY OTHER PEOPLE.
THE NEWS CLAIMS THAT IT WAS GAZAN TRUCK DRIVERS WHO KILLED THEIR OWN PEOPLE AT THE RECENT FOOD AID DROPS. HAMAS AND GAZANS APPEARED TO NOT ORGANIZE AT ALL AND DIRECTLY LED TO THE STAMPEDE. GAZANS TRAMPLED EACH OTHER TO DEATH AS THE TRUCK DRIVERS SHOT AND DROVE OVER THE REST. STOP BLAMING THE HANDS THAT FEED AND PROTECT YOU WHEN YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. INNOCENT HAMAS CIVILIANS WOULD NOT LOOK SO POOR AND STARVING IF HAMAS DID NOT SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THEIR BILLIONAIRE FUNDS TO SPEND ON TERRORIST TUNNELS AND EQUIPMENT TO HURT MORE INNOCENT CIVILIANS SINGING AND DANCING. I AM UPSET BECAUSE WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS. DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU ARE NOT MY FAMILY WHEN WE WERE BORN SHARING THIS EARTH. THE BIRDS AND BEES ARE NOW SMARTER THAN THE PEOPLE IN “CIVILIZED SOCIETY”.
DEFENSE AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE IS NOT GENOCIDE. CIVILIANS DYING AS A SIDE EFFECT OF DEFENSIVE WAR AGAINST ATTACKERS WHO PROVOKE FIRST IS NOT GENOCIDE. SELLING INNOCENT PEOPLE CHOSEN FROM A CERTAIN BACKGROUND TO BE RAPED TO DEATH IS GENOCIDE. TARGETING ONE FAMILY FOR ONGOING MURDERS BASED ON THEIR HERITAGE IS GENOCIDE. KILLING HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO SING AND DANCE IS GENOCIDE.
KILLING PEOPLE WHO SING AND DANCE IS GENOCIDE.
LOVE,
RXF & 7
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸☝🏿
what a loser.
Some say religion in humans is as dangerous as rabies in animals.
“Rest in peace, Aaron. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family during this difficult time. It’s truly disheartening that he’s no longer with us to accomplish more. Let’s join together in praying for a world filled with greater peace.
The police officer targets Mr. Aaron Bushnell to steal people’s attention and diminish the significance and meaning of his noble sacrifice.
Together we have the power and the duty to demand that our governments apply sanctions. Our governments have gone much further against third world countries just to increase public spending.
Nor should we fall into the rhetorical trap of Zionism – implicit or explicit – that calls us ”Nazis” or ”Antisemites” every time we protest against their looting and felonies.
El polícía apunta al señor Aaron Bushnell para robar atención de la gente y restar a la trascendencia y el significado de su noble sacrificio.
Juntos tenemos el poder y el deber de exigir a nuestros gobiernos que apliquen sanciones. Nuestros gobiernos han ido mucho más lejos contra países del tercer mundo sólo por aumentar el gasto público.
Tampoco debemos caer en la trampa retórica del sionismo – implícito o explícito- que nos llama ”Nazis” o ”Antisemitas” cada vez que protestamos en contra de sus saqueos y felonías.
Shame on genocide Joe and his clan this what is happening in Palestine is well planned by him the murderer 🤔
It is a very clever tactical game if every stands for the criminal charges supplying weapons to kill the innocent Palestinian people they will say genocide Joe is not fit to stand for the charges as he doesn’t even remember the death of his own son what date he died and is too old 🤔 the medical team examined him recently and they said he is not fit enough to be a president of the USA 🤔
He falls every time he has to walk up the stairs 🤔
Can’t remember what to say in his speeches 🤔
Falls asleep but then what do you expect from a guy who is the age of the great great grandpa over 80s
And the American people put their life’s and trust in president like this
Wow
Free Palestine ♥️☝️
Respect to the innocent American people who have seen the truth about the Palestinian people who are suffering from the Zionists evildoers and their evil supporters likes of genocide Joe and satannuty yahoo
👍♥️☝️🇵🇸🤔🇵🇰
UK
This man will never be forgotten.
Mark my words. 2024.
Bravo bravo
Why should the US end the war?

Of course it’s a sick society anybody who works on the front lines sees that every day it doesn’t matter what the job is people are extremely self-absorbed
His superiors are investigating it’s said. He may never have had counsel in his time he was there but there’s no counsel that could correct the wrongs on/by society it’s up to society to correct their system their own minds/software
