Sorry but I'm really tired of seeing the image of the man on fire everytime i open my lemmy app or reddit etc. PLEASE start tagging it as nsfw. I really really really don't want to see the footage in any way.

Hamas praised the act and expressed "heartfelt condolences" to the friends and family of Bushnell, announcing in a statement to Telegram that "he immortalised his name as a defender of human values and the oppression of the suffering Palestinian people because of the American administration and its unjust policies" while describing him as a "heroic pilot."

Tragic, he traded his life and his allegiance for some posthumous praise by Hamas. 3rd degree burns are not a good way to go.

- He traded his life to protest genocide of a people by their colonizers.
  
  Don’t worry, someday your body will fight off the brainworms and you will see we were the bad guys all along.
