These Himalayan atrocities and act of Genocide is keeping restless to those who have humanity alive in their hearts and on 25th February,2024, a 25-year-old active duty member of the United States Air Force man Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in USA capital, Washington expressing solidarity with the Palestinians and recording protests against genocide of innocent Palestinians by Israel. In a video footage recorded prior to and during his self-immolation, Bushnell stated that he will no longer be complicit in genocide and compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, is not extreme at all. Palestinians have long been accustomed to, well, burning to death at the hands of Israeli weaponry, ever since the state of Israel undertook to lethally invent itself on Palestinian land in 1948. The Israeli military’s use of skin-incinerating white phosphorus munitions in more recent years has no doubt contributed to the whole Palestinian “experience”. After pertinently observing that US complicity in the genocide of Palestinians is “what our ruling class has decided will be normal”, Bushnell planted himself directly in front of the Israeli embassy gate, in full US military fatigues, and proceeds to douse himself with flammable liquid. As he rapidly burns to death, he repeatedly shouted: “Free Palestine”, while security personnel ordered him to get “on the ground”.
It seems that US government and policy makers do not care that how they and their policies are registered in the history and how shameful would feel their next generation for centuries. Israel has flagrantly broken the terms of international humanitarian law,
There is great importance of South Africa’s filing a complaint against Israel for committing genocide before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), it is a historical one and a first step towards holding Israel accountable at the International Judicial level and breaking its immunity. This puts genuine pressure on Israel, and if the court decides and takes any action against Israel, then Israel and its allies would be forced to face even more expensive political, legal and moral repercussions.
American support for Israel is a matter of shame for whole humanity and raised serious questions about its tall claims of “human rights champion “while it is pursuing a worst kind of human rights violation by supporting Israel.
Gaza is not only the graveyard of Palestinian children but it is also the grave yard of American image which is now buried in Gaza and now everyone in the world knows that after third time blocking the resolution for ceasefire in Gaza by using veto power in favour of Isreal and now besides Benjamin Netanyahu , Biden is called Butcher of Gaza” and will always be remembered as “Pharaoh s of 21st Century” .When the next generation of Palestinian will study their history that how they were treated by Israelis and how Americans government backed Israel then Biden, Trump, Rishi Sunak , will always remain in their minds as “ Butchers of Palestine”.
Aaron Bushnell will always be remembered as peace lover and his suicide is a slap on the faces of Biden, Sunak, Trump and Netanyahu while Gaza’s Children have written a history with their blood that America was at the wrong side of history and had a worst name in the world history which will be shameful always for whole humanity.
