This past weekend, US Airman Aaron Bushnell self immolated in a self-described “Extreme act of protest” to draw attention to the ongoing atrocities committed by the Israeli Defense Force each and every day. An entire generation of Americans are seeing American complicity in this genocide first hand. Multiple generations are. We are being traumatized and radicalized in a way that no previous generation has. We watch on in horror while the American government continues to unconditionally support Benjamin Netanyahu. We watch while the media, our supposedly free media downplays and distracts from the atrocity using words like “people found dead” to describe the slaughter of Palestinian women and children. We watch in horror as Palestinians post videos of the elderly sniped from rooftops. We watch as doctors amputate fully treatable limbs, often without anesthesia. We are scared. We are horrified. We feel powerless.
My government is not powerless. Washington is full of supposedly democratically elected officials. I pray that they use their positions of power and privilege to end the violence. To work with their peers for the betterment of humanity, to start to repair the soul of a nation stained by what is perceived by many to be unconditional support of a monstrous regime. Please, how many more need to die before we work to end the suffering. We should be rebuilding schools and hospitals, not adding more fuel to the fire by allowing Israel to buy bombs and other implements of war. Bombs that we all know will cause the deaths and dismemberments of children. Palestinian children. Human children. Collateral damage or intentional slaughter, no matter your personal belief, it doesn’t matter. Children are dying.
Aaron’s sacrifice, his desperate act of protest, is forever burned into my memory. Into the collective memory of a generation. His screams echo with but a tiny fraction of the suffering caused daily, on scales that we can barely comprehend. Please use his sacrifice as the fulcrum by which we move the world.
