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. -Sam Husseini (where you can watch the uncensored video)

On December 17, 2010, Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, catalyzing what would become known as the Arab Spring. Bouazizi, oppressed by local authorities, sensed himself in a hopeless position—a feeling shared by many of his compatriots, who pushed back against hopelessness by way of mass uprisings. Across the Arab world the cry was taken up: الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام, “the people want to bring down the regime.” By time it was over, governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen had fallen.

Last Sunday, February 25, US Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell burned himself to death in front of the Israeli embassy, saying “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” Like Mohamed Bouazizi, Aaron Bushnell expressed “extreme” feelings shared by millions. And like Bouazizi, Bushnell carried out his last act in the shadow of the government building that symbolized tyranny. For Bouazizi, it was the governor’s office in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. For Bushnell, it was the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC.

In neither case was the authorities’ control of social media sufficient to dampen the fires of outrage. In 2010 Arab potentates were scrambling to get a handle on the hard-to-censor nature of the internet, while American “democracy” proponents following Gene Sharp were way ahead of them in weaponizing the newly omnipresent cell phone.

Today, the pro-Palestine side of social media is outrunning the American Zionist oligarchs who dominate the legacy internet, as platforms founded by Chinese (TikTok) and Russians (Telegram) gain ground on the Zuckerbergs of the world. Suddenly, the majority of American young adults openly side with Hamas. Global outrage at Israel’s genocide of Gaza, like Arab outrage at circa-2010 dictatorships, isn’t easy to censor out of existence.

Bouazizi and Bushnell were both known as good guys who went out of their way to feed hungry people—Bouazizi by giving them his produce, Bushnell by volunteering with aid groups. Both suffered under fake leftist regimes—Ben Ali’s rotten remnants of Bourgiba’s Tunisian revolutionaries, and Biden’s equally rotten corpse of what was once the party of FDR and Kennedy. Both quickly became icons of the fight against injustice.

Finally, and most importantly, Bouazizi and Bushnell both lived in lands dismembered and degraded by Zionists. Bouzizi’s MENA region has been trying to excise the carcinogenic implant of the Zionist entity since it metastasized in 1948, but Zionist hands on the levers of global power won’t allow it. The gargantuan gap between the people of the region, who are in overwhelming majority anti-Zionist, and the rulers, whose pragmatism forces them to accommodate the Zionist-led West, makes normal governance in the region impossible.

Bushnell’s America, too, has seen normal governance destroyed by Zionists. The Ke
