Palestina versus Israel (gehi AEB + NATO, Pentagonoa eta EB) (23)

“It’s the biggest cycle of protest there has been of mass protest in British history but there has been a tiny number of arrests…there is not a single example on any of our demonstrations of any violent incident towards a bystander of any kind, whether a politician or anyone else.”

@ChrisNineham speaking at today’s Police & #Palestine Protests press conference in the HoC.

One of the main reasons the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell is having such an earthshaking impact on our society is because it’s the single most profound act of sincerity that any of us have ever witnessed.

In this fraudulent civilization where everything is fake and stupid, we are not accustomed to such sincerity. We’re accustomed to vapid mainstream culture manufactured in New York and Los Angeles, airheaded celebrities who never talk about anything real, self-aggrandizing Instagram activism, synthetic political factions designed to herd populist discontent into support for status quo politics, phony shitlib “I hear you, I stand with you [but I won’t actually do anything]” posturing, endless propaganda and diversion from the mass media and its online equivalents which are algorithmically boosted by Silicon Valley tech plutocrats, and a mind-controlled dystopia where almost everyone is sleepwalking through life in a psyop-induced fog.

That is the sort of experience we have been conditioned to expect here in the shadow of the western empire. And then, out of nowhere, some Air Force guy comes along and does something real. Something as authentic and sincere as anything could possibly be, with the very noblest of intentions.

He live-streamed himself lighting himself on fire and burning to death in order to draw people’s attention to how horrific the US-backed atrocities in Gaza actually are. Knowing full well how painful it would be. Knowing full well he’d either die or survive with horrific burns and wish he’d died. Knowing full well that once he connected the flame with the accelerant he poured onto his body, there’d be no turning back.

He didn’t back down. He didn’t go home and stuff his face with snacks and gossip in the group chat and see what types of mindless escapism are available on Netflix or Pornhub. He lit the flame. He even struggled to light it at first, and he still did.

There’s nothing in our society that can prepare us for that kind of sincerity. That kind of selflessness. That kind of purity of intention. It stops us dead in our tracks, as if the fabric of our world has been ripped asunder. And, in a way, it has.

We’re not really living in the same world we were living in before Aaron Bushnell lit himself on fire at 1 PM on February 25th. It was far too sincere an act, committed in the least sincere city on this planet. It shook things around far too much for all the pieces to fit fully back into place.

I myself am permanently changed. I find myself reapproaching the Gaza genocide with fresh eyes, renewed vigor, and invincible determination. I now write with a different kind of fire in my guts.

And looking around I can see it’s much the same for others. Where previously we’d begun seeing the opposition to the incineration of Gaza beginning to lose a bit of energy due to despair and how hard it is to keep something energized for months on end, we are now seeing electrifying enthusiasm.

More importantly, this is shaking things up in mainstream society and not just within the pro-Palestine crowd. We’re seeing Bushnell’s final words about the US empire’s complicity with genocide shared on mainstream networks like CNN and ABC, while Israel apologists run around falling all over themselves trying to tell people nobody cares about what Bushnell did like a guy sending a woman dozens of texts saying he’s totally unbothered that she rejected his advances. A member of the US military lighting himself on fire while screaming “Free Palestine” is absolutely devastating to the information interests of Israel and the United States, because it shakes people awake like nothing else ever could.

All around our fake plastic dystopia people are now opening their eyes, saying “Wait, huh? That man did what? Why? I thought nothing matters but my comfort and my feelings and my small circle of people I care about? My country is complicit in a what now? Is it possible I’ve been missing something important?”

With his profound act of sincerity, Aaron Bushnell extended the world an invitation to a very different way of looking at life. An invitation to pierce through the veil of superficiality and narcissism to a radical authenticity and a deep compassion for our fellow human beings. To a profound sincerity of our own, with which we can shake the world awake in our own unique ways.

At 1 PM on February 25th, Aaron Bushnell lit more than one kind of fire. A fire that drives us to act. A fire that lights the way. A fire that inspires us. A fire that shows us another way of being. A fire which shows us a better world is possible. We won’t forget his message.

We couldn’t if we tried.

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency.  Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT

ON HUMANITARIAN AID MASSACRE

“In a heinous massacre added to the long series of massacres committed by the criminal Zionist entity against our Palestinian people, indifferent to the consequences of its terrorist actions due to the cover and complicity of the administration of US President Biden in its aggression, the Zionist occupation army targeted a gathering of thousands of citizens while they were waiting to receive food aid in Gaza City. Which led to the death of dozens of martyrs and the wounding of hundreds of others with various injuries.

In the face of this hideous massacre, unprecedented in the history of war crimes, which comes within the framework of the war of starvation carried out by the criminal enemy against our people, aiming to displace them from their land, in implementation of his malicious plan aimed at obliterating the Palestinian cause, we affirm the following:

First: We call on the League of Arab States and the UN Security Council to convene urgently, to take decisions obligating the criminal entity to stop the mass killing and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and to stop all its violations of international laws, and its violation of the decisions of the International Court of Justice, which demanded that it stop the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Second: We call on the Arab countries in particular to break the silence regarding the Zionist genocide against our people, and to immediately implement the decision of the Arab-Islamic Summit on November 11 of last year, which emphasized breaking the Zionist siege and bringing in food and medical aid immediately. For the Gaza Strip.

Third: We call on the peoples of our Arab and Islamic nation and the free people of the world to hold widespread popular activities and demonstrations to denounce the Zionist massacre against our Palestinian people, and to put pressure on governments to take effective and strong positions against the entity and its war criminal Nazi leaders.

Fourth: We reiterate our affirmation that the international community and the United Nations are required to assume their responsibilities and legal duties in stopping this mass killing of our sons and people, and to stop the crime of our era committed openly by the criminal entity day and night, and we are required to take all necessary measures to safely deliver emergency food aid to our people throughout the Strip.

Fifth: We hold the Zionist occupation, its fascist government, its Nazi army, President Biden, and the American administration fully responsible for this massacre, and for the escalation of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people.

We have mercy on the souls of our people’s martyrs, and we affirm that their sacrifices and blood will not be in vain, and that we will remain loyal to our cause, our land, and our sanctities.”

Viceprimera Ministra belga, Petra De Sutter: “Estoy horrorizada por la masacre de hoy, que se cobró la vida de más de 100 palestinos en Gaza. El asesinato de personas que hacen cola para recibir ayuda es una violación flagrante del derecho internacional y de las medidas provisionales del Tribunal de Justicia.”
