Losing my mind right now. After today’s self-immolation I just spent the last hour trying to figure out what happened to the woman who self-immolated outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta in December. I can’t even find her name.
UPDATE: I got footage of the self-immolation at the Israeli embassy in DC.
The individual, wearing fatigues, introduces himself as “an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.”
After ignition, he repeatedly yells “Free Palestine.”
On Buddhist self-immolation:
“…they vow to live in the burning house until everyone else has escaped. So, they take on suffering themselves in order to come alongside those who don’t even recognize the flames; they burn with compassion for the suffering of all life.” #Atlanta
