An article in seven parts: 1. Protests in Israel; 2. Protests in the USA and Canada, Including the Aaron Bushnell Self-Immolation; 3. Protests in Britain; 4. Protests in the EU; 5. Protests in the Muslim World; 6. Protests in Africa, Australia, Asia; 7. Protests via Collective Public Letters

We the public already know that Ziofascist Israel and its allies in the Western axis of genocide are committing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinians. Many states and regimes who are under the hostile influence of Ziofascist Israel refuse to do what is just and right though. The consequence of that most grave complicity and negligence are global protests for Palestinians and their human rights and against Israel and that terrorist state’s human rights violations:

Protestor Itay: “I have never, for one single moment in my life, trusted this man. I think he’s a psychopath. I think he’s a lunatic. Not just I think that. Lots of people. I would never trust him with anything. Not him, not his government. […] They’re dangerous people. They’re extremists, they’re fascists, they’re racists, they’re fanatics. They don’t want peace. They want war because it serves their own self-interest. […]

Netanyahu is just like Donald Trump, just like Milosevic, just like Hitler. These people will do everything to keep power in their hands, and they don’t care if everything else crumbles. They can destroy everything just as long as they remain in power, just like Hitler.”

Blake Desjarlais: “Mr. Speaker, as Netanyahu bombs Rafah, the supposed ‘safe zone’, over 75 Palestinians were killed overnight. We are witnessing a crime of unproportionate horror in Gaza every day. Children are left orphaned as entire families are wiped out in this onslaught. Meanwhile, the Liberals continue to arm Netanyahu, over 28 million dollars worth of military exports since October alone. How many more Palestinian children have to be killed for this government to end arms exports to Israel?!”

Protests via Self-Immolation

The USA even saw two instances of extreme protests by self-immolation, a practice that is already known from anti-US protests and during the imperialists’ colonialist war of aggression and oppression against Vietnam and the Vietnamese:

On June 11, 1963, just a few days before my 16th birthday, a Buddhist monk set himself on fire in Saigon to protest the treatment of Buddhists by the minority Catholic government of Ngô Đình Diệm.

The first recent self-immolation protest occurred in Atlanta on December 1, 2023:

The self-immolator turned out to be a woman and an injured person a guard:

The second recent self-immolation protest was done in Washington DC on February 25, 2024 and in front of the Ziofascist Israeli embassy:

Aaron Bushnell: “I am an active duty member of the United States air force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. 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.”

Aaron Bushnell then walks up to the gate of the Israeli embassy in DC, douses himself in an incendiary fluid, puts on his beret, and begins to set himself on fire.

Aaron Bushnell: “Free Palestine.”

Guard/police voice: “Hi sir, can I help you? [while Aaron Bushnell sets himself on fire:] Can I help you sir?”

https://twitter.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/1761982763735892316

Aaron Bushnell [right after setting himself on fire and while in pain and still standing]: “Free Palestine. Free Palestine! Free Palestine! Free Palestine! Free Palestine!”

Guard/police voice: “Man’s on fire! Man’s on fire!”

Aaron Bushnell [burning and screaming]: “Ahhhhh! Ahhhhhh! ….”

Guard/police voice [shouting]: “Get on the ground! On the ground! On the ground! [police sirens in the background] Get on the ground! … On the ground! On the ground! [Aaron Bushnell stops shouting and collapses to the ground] Get a fire extinguisher! Get a fire extinguisher! Who’s got a fire extinguisher?! Call the board! […]”

https://twitter.com/jakeshieldsajj/status/1762213896126173578

While the heavily burned body of the possibly already dead Aaron Bushnell gets fire extinguished by a black cop, a white cop walks up to him with his weapon drawn and pointing at his body:

Two more cops use fire extinguishers to completely douse the flames while the white cop — others identified him as Israeli embassy security — still idiotically points his gun at the long since lifeless body of Aaron Bushnell. Another cop approaches the running and live-streaming camera, turns it away from the scene and apparently also turns it off shortly after saying “What is that!? Who is this!?”, thereby ending the live stream of Aaron Bushnell’s anti-genocide self-immolation protest in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC.

Comments on the cop/Israeli embassy security who incredulously pointed his gun at the lifeless Aaron Bushnell:

The Ziofascist censorers on Twitter/X even forced me to delete a post about Bushnell with a link to this very article under false pretenses and since it destroys their propaganda narrative:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/aaron-bushnell-antisemitic-posts/

But the truth of the matter is that Aaron Bushnell was simply a very moral person with a highly developed conscience and sense of social responsibility (who had also managed to mentally escape his parents’ Christian cult):

The countries of Venezuela and Yemen, who also suffered and still suffer greatly from the evil US empire just like the Palestinians, responded by mentioning and honoring Aaron Bushnell and by sending condolences to his family:

https://twitter.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/1762481575587955048

Nicolas Maduro: “A young soldier, from the Air Force, a young man from the United States, he sets himself on fire — horrified, frightened, desperate and in pain — because of the massacre and genocide of the Palestinian people. Sensitivity has reached that point. I would really like, on behalf of the Venezuelan people, to convey our condolences to the family of this young soldier from the United States, to the soldiers of the US, to the people of the US, and to call upon the conscience of the entire world to stop this genocide. It cannot be that we have to go as far as for someone to have to self-immolate, a soldier, a young man, to denounce something as horrible as this genocide.

From “Lupe” on Aaron:

Aaron cherished life. He knew that in giving up his own, he could give the people of Palestine a chance to keep theirs. Aaron has permanently changed the fabric of your being. You know this because for the rest of your life, you will wrestle with the thought of what you will sacrifice for the liberation of others.

My friend said that everywhere Aaron went, he planted trees. I imagine these seeds planted in our hearts and minds. They will sprout, and they will grow into giant strong trees with deep roots built to weather the many battles that lie ahead on this burning planet. They will remain upright, like Aaron did, until they no longer can, but by then their own seeds will have been planted in the hearts of our loved ones, and they will grow into trees as well. They will continue this struggle until the beautiful world that Aaron knew we deserved is born.

5. Protests in the Muslim World

Most obviously, there were protests in the muslim world against Ziofascist Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

Post October 17 Al Ahli Baptist Hospital Massacre Protests

The Ziofascist Israelis committed one of their worst genocidal massacres when they struck the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital with an airplane bomb which killed several hundreds — a strike to which they admitted two times on Twitter before deleting those posts:

As a consequence of Ziofascist Israel’s insane war crime against the Al Ahli hospital, protesters in the Muslim world for instance attacked Israel’s embassy in Jordan, Amman:

Similar scenes occurred in front of the US embassy in Lebanon, Beirut:

There were also protests for Hezbollah to take military action:

Protestors in Turkey did a ‘double tap’ by attacking both the Israeli embassy and a NATO military base:

More regular protests also occurred in other Muslim countries.

Queen Rania of Jordan delivered excellent counters against Western mainstream media hypocrisy, double standards and censorship:

Unfortunately, the King of Jordan was bribed by both the USA and the EU:

Protests nevertheless continued:

March 25, 2024, the day when the UN Security Council voted for a binding ceasefire which Israel promptly ignored with more atrocities:

Other Muslim countries are and were also subverted by the Ziofascist axis of genocide:
