What would I do if my country was committing genocide? - Aaron Bushnell 3
Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty member of the US Air Force, died on 25th February after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, in an act of extreme protest against the genocide in Gaza.
His last words were “Free Palestine”.
“I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people are experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonisers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine," he said in a video he made while walking in front of the embassy.
A Facebook post credited to Bushnell was widely shared on Twitter, with the following content: “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.”
The word for martyr in Arabic, ‘shaheed,’ translates to ‘witness,’ or one whose final moment in life is as a witness to injustice”.
We will remember him. Rest in Power Aaron.
