Israel at War - Hamas Attacks

You quote a bible verse, not an Israeli policy statement.

I think that is right in the book of crazy Chapter one.

The man’s name is Aaron Bushnell, and he is reportedly active-duty Air Force:

Aaron Bushnell identified himself in the livestream video as he walked toward the Israeli embassy as “an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force” adding that “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” He then lit himself ablaze and yelled “FREE PALESTINE!” over and over. He has reportedly died.

As he burned up, uniformed personnel screamed at him to get on the ground. One officer has a gun drawn on Aaron until after he collapses.
Finally another officer says: “I don’t need guns, I need fire extinguishers!”
Ignoring Immolators Lulls the Society to Sleep: Aaron Bushnell at the Israeli Embassy: "FREE PALESTINE!"

Think.

Why did you come that conclusion?

In my humble opinion a sane individual doesn’t set themself on fire. You are free to disagree. :wink:

Check the link above.

No “sane person” would go into a raging fire or flood to save the life of a stranger.

The difference between a hero and a fool is a matter of perspective.

The two are the same according Netanyahu
. . . you must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember . . .

“Now go, attack Amalek, and proscribe all that belongs to him. Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings . . .” 1 Samuel

Would you be fine with a Moslem leader quoting similar verses from the Koran in explaining policy towards Israel?

Uhm Muslims do it all the time. Hell they ■■■■■■■ make up ■■■■ that isn’t even in the Quran to justify their hatred towards Israel.

The US has supported jihadist groups in Syria and Afghanistan, but Israeli jihadists are in the official government and receive far more funding.

The irony is that both Jewish and Islamic jihadists are fine with killing Christians.

What possible reason is there for Americans to fund these groups?

Being an active-duty military man does not exclude him from being mentally ill (i.e. crazy.)

We can’t all think like you.

There is nothing heroic about committing suicide by immolation to make political statements.

Well that certainly depends.

Thich Quang Duc‘s self immolation arguably led the United States to drop support of Diap.

First responders do it all the time. Surely you aren’t implying that all first responders are insane. :roll_eyes:

The Hamas supporter who set himself on fire was not a hero, although it doesn’t surprise that you would think otherwise.

Stated Israeli policy is not to wipeout the Palestinian people. It is to wipeout Hamas. That is a fact.

What does that have to do with what’s going on in Gaza?

Coincidence is not cause.
