Breaking: Children from displacement camps in Gaza are raising the names of American universities whose students have protested against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Even while Columbia &NYPD threaten repression there’s a consistent effort here to spread lies to divide the mass movement for Palestine. No member of PSL or PYM issued any call to disperse. A Columbia student leader shared upcoming actions& thanked everyone for their solidarity
Aaron Bushnell is right. The ruling class is insane. They’ve normalized for-profit healthcare and prisons, homelessness, climate disaster, endless war, and genocide. The lower class people running defense for them are a shining example of how much insanity has been normalized.
We are devastated in Akron Ohio with the rest of the world.
grassroots org Serve The People Akron @STPAkron made a public post on Instagram about Aaron Bushnell who recently moved to NE Ohio serving in Akron at Grace Park.
"Rest Easy Comrade
Free Palestine!"

Aaron Bushnell wasn’t mentally ill. Stop chalking this up to mental illness. Self-immolation is the one of the most extreme forms of protest. Mental illness is when you’re ok with 15,000 children being massacred. Don’t confuse the two.
BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT
ON AARON BUSHNELL
“We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) express our deepest condolences and our full solidarity with the family and friends of the American pilot Aaron Bushnell, whose name has been immortalized as a defender of human values and the oppression of the Palestinian people who are suffering because of the American administration and its unjust policies, as well as the American activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed by a Zionist bulldozer in Rafah in In 2003, it is the same city that Bushnell paid with his life for putting pressure on his country’s government to prevent the criminal Zionist army from attacking it and committing massacres and violations there.
The administration of US President Biden bears full responsibility for the death of US Army pilot Aaron Bushnell due to its policy that supported the Nazi Zionist entity in its war of extermination against our Palestinian people, as he gave his life in order to shed light on the Zionist massacres and ethnic cleansing against our people in the Gaza Strip.
The heroic pilot, Aaron Bushnell, will remain immortal in the memory of our Palestinian people and the free people of the world, and a symbol of the spirit of global human solidarity with our people and their just cause.
The tragic accident that cost Pilot Bushnell his life is an expression of the growing state of anger among the American people who reject their country’s policy that contributes to the killing and extermination of our people, and who reject their government’s violation of universal human values, by providing cover to ensure the impunity of the entity and its Nazi leaders from punishment and accountability.”
“My name is Aaron Bushnell. I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am 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. Free Palestine.”
—Aaron Bushnell
“The act of an American soldier sacrificing himself for Palestine is the highest sacrifice […] a poignant message to the American administration to stop its involvement in the aggression.”
