Aaron Bushnell was in the United States Air Force and he made the ultimate sacrifice. He filmed himself burning to death in front of the DC Israeli embassy while shouting ‘Free Palestine’ until he couldn’t any longer. He felt that the killing of Palestinians by Israel was wrong and that the complicity of the United States government in it was untenable.
He wasn’t just a soldier, he helped the homeless in San Antonio and was part of the local socialist community. In other words he talked the talk and walked the walk. This sacrifice that he made was done because he had a sense of justice, not because he was depressed.
That you Aaron for standing up for the Palestinian people and for your sacrifice; you will never be forgotten.
