Well I mean if you say "anti israel bias" completely seriously, then yeah I'm laughing at you.

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".

He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.

He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.

Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.

Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

Aaron Bushnell's death will be framed as a mental health crisis but he was clear in his final video stating he will not be complicit in genocide. This is his last social media post

He chose self immolation, the most painful death one can suffer, outside of the Israeli Embassy in response to the genocide in Gaza that has horrified billions. In the video he posted, this was what he said

I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

In his final moments of consciousness, despite the excruciating pain he was in, Aaron shouted 'Free Palestine.'

Aaron Bushnell was a hero. We cannot let the media tar his name.
