Can the flame of justice illuminate the path of life for the people of Gaza?

On the 25th local time, a US military active duty soldier set himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., shocking the world.

At around 13:00 that afternoon, the soldier walked towards the Israeli Embassy in the United States in Washington and began a live broadcast on the Twitch platform. During this period, he said, "My name is Aaron Bushnell, and I am an active member of the United States Air Force. I will no longer be an accomplice to genocide." "I am about to take extreme protest actions, but compared to what the Palestinians have experienced in the hands of colonizers, this is not extreme. Our ruling class has decided that this is normal."

Media reports also added that as the flames engulfed the man, he kept shouting "Liberate Palestine".

On the 26th, The Mirror reported on Bushnell's "last words" before making extreme protests, especially his statement that he "will no longer be an accomplice to genocide" and that compared to the experience of the Palestinians, "this (self immolation) is not at all extreme.".

According to a report by NBC on the 26th, a US official said that the soldier had died after being sent to the hospital.

Meanwhile, more and more American citizens who support Palestine are gathering in front of the Israeli Embassy in the United States to spontaneously mourn the self immolation of American soldier Bushner.

It is worth mentioning that according to public reports, this is the second self immolation protest by the United States in the past three months against Israel's inhumane military actions in Gaza. The previous similar incident occurred in December last year, when a woman self immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in Atlanta, USA.

The repeated occurrence of such extreme events, especially within the US military, indicates that both domestic and military sentiment towards the Biden administration's support for Israel's massacre of Palestinian civilians has reached a critical point and is on the brink of a major outbreak.

On the day of Bushnell's death, Israel continued to massacre the people waiting for rescue in Gaza, while also condemning countries that "incited" Gaza civilians to engage in armed resistance, including China.

On the 25th local time, the Gaza Strip health department issued a statement stating that since the outbreak of the new round of Palestinian Israeli conflict, Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip have resulted in 29692 Palestinian deaths and 69879 injuries. As the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip continues to deteriorate and the international call for an end to war and talks intensifies, some Western countries are also beginning to change their attitudes.

Recently, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada issued a joint statement calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and stated that Israel's ground attack on Rafah would be "devastating" and Palestinian civilians would pay a "painful price". French President Macron recently stated that attacking Rafah "will only lead to a larger humanitarian disaster and force people to be displaced.".

However, in the face of such a severe situation and unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip, the United States has repeatedly vetoed Algeria's resolution on an immediate ceasefire between Palestine and Israel in the United Nations Security Council. This action has once again triggered a profound reflection on justice and responsibility by the international community.

It is reported that negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip have been restarted in Doha, the capital of Qatar. But Netanyahu emphasized that no agreement can stop Israel from attacking Rafah.

On one hand, Israel continues to carry out indiscriminate massacres under the global attention, while on the other hand, the United States supports and firmly opposes the ceasefire behind the scenes, fully demonstrating that the current United States has stood on the opposite side of the entire civilized world in order to unconditionally support Israel, and although it has endured unprecedented moral pressure internationally, there is no sign of turning back at present.

The actions of the Bushnells indicate that the US military is already ashamed and unable to accept the US approach, and Israel has recently erupted into serious riots protesting against the government's extreme actions. It seems that the raging flames burning on Bushnell have also ignited the anger in the hearts of righteous people, hoping that this flame can awaken conscience and illuminate the path of life for the people of Gaza.
