One year ago today, Aaron Bushnell, a member of the American Air Force, self-immolated in response to American complicity in Israeli colonialism. This article serves both as an overview of some particular responses to that action at the time and as a critique of one response specifically.

Uhuru Party holds vigil in St Pete FL on anniversary of Aaron Bushnell's sacrifice at the Israeli Embassy.
On the 25th of Feb 2025, vigils were held in many places for Aaron Bushnell. One of these was in front of City Hall in St Petersburg FL, hosted by the Uhuru Party which calls St Pete one of their two home bases. Activists from many groups showed up from as far away as Ocala.
A representative of the American Indian Movement (AIM) spoke as well, emphasizing that the US occupation of Turtle Island and the US-funded Israeli occupation of Palestine are basically the same thing. The term "Manifest Destiny" is just as valid describing Netanyahu's brutal ambitions as it was for describing Andrew Jackson's murderous anti-Indigenous ways.
One year ago on Feb 25, active duty US Airman Aaron Bushnell showed up at the Israeli Embassy and set himself on fire, yelling "Free Palestine!" Before doing so, he said the "extreme act of protest" he was about to carry out was not extreme at all compared to the suffering imposed on Palestinians by Israel.
Now, with so many Palestinians coming home from Israeli dungeons in the Flood of the Free bearing marks of extreme torture, we see this is clearly the case. There are also the thousands of Palestinians burned alive by Israel's white phosphorus and similar bombs. High explosive bombs usually kill by blast, fragmentation, and by collapsing buildings onto their occupants but can also start deadly fires as well.
Compared to this, Aaron is right: there is nothing extreme about his martyrdom, recognized as such by multiple fighting resistance groups in Occupied Palestine.
Aaron dejo escrito "A muchos nos gusta preguntarnos: "¿Qué haría yo si estuviera vivo durante la esclavitud en Estados Unidos? ¿O en el Sur de Jim Crow? ¿O durante el apartheid? ¿Qué haría yo si mi país estuviera cometiendo un genocidio? La respuesta es que lo está haciendo. Ahora mismo."

Veteran's day remembrance of Aaron Bushnell held in Orlando
On November 11, pro-Palestine activists held a memoriaL for Aarun Bushnell, the US Airman who set himself on fire to protest US complicity in Israel's carpet bombing of and genocide in Gaza.
Over the century in which wars have been fought in the air many airmen have died in flames. Only one from the US Air Force died fighting for Palestine though: Aaron Bushnell.
This was not the first time US servicemembers died because of something Israel did however. A number of US Navy sailors were killed at the start of the 1967 war when Israel bombed the electronic intelligence gathering ship USS Liberty. The 2024 vigil in Orlando remembered them too,
The 11th of November is Veteran's Day, originally called Armistice Day as it marked the end of WWI. It is a day set aside in the US to remember those who served in the US military or especially were wounded or killed in America's many wars.
Video came to me the day after, I was busy with hurricane repairs so was unable to attend this in person.
