Like so many in Palestine. Especially the thousands of children.
Because it's clear from your comment and your comment history that you are a fan of genocide.
Just like people hated white apartheid south Africans in the 80's (a regime supported by Israel when everyone else was sanctioning them, by the by), so too will people hate genocide justifiers.
Aaron Bushnell did. His statement immediately prior to self-immolating was:
This you?
Yep, that's you.
Anyone justifying the IDF's actions is cheerleading an intentional genocide. You are cheerleading the intentional murder of over 15,000 children, so far.
Now that starvation is hitting, those numbers are going to ramp up fast.
Remember, starvation kills the children of a population first. There is no food in the Gaza Strip because Israel is intentionally blocking its entrance at the Rafah border.
Today a 3-month old Palestinian baby boy took his last breath because he starved to death. He wasn't even alive for Oct 7th.
You're 'subtly' criticizing people who are critical of Israels ongoing campaign of genocide.
Whether it be by trying to downplay Aarons heroism, or by responding to a jpost article that really looks to be false that the Houthi (a racist term, like calling the US government 'The Kennedys', the government of Yemen is Anserallah.) are lying about supporting Gaza when they have actually been amazingly consistent.
