A little. A little at the ridiculousness of it. The waste of it. The thought he was of sound mind.Oh my Gawd.... I've got a bunch of people on ignore right now, but please don't tell me there are Zionists in here making fun of self-immolation.
If this dude told his psychiatrist he was going to self immolate in protest over Gaza - they would have had him committed against his will.There is no way you aren't mentally deranged if you do that. Doesn't mean they are arguing on the wrong side. In this case I think he is. But in general, WTF are you going to accomplish lighting yourself on fire? Nothing.
We're complicit in that we elect the people that feed the problem.Well to be fair to this guy. I was poking more fun at you asking what the diagnosis was than him offing himself. I agree with General Patton I don't think it's a badge of honor to die for your country or someone else's I think they should die for their own country.
You're no more complicit than the rest of us.
As a non voter, im off the hook.We're complicit in that we elect the people that feed the problem.
Ok, you and only you are absolved. The rest of us pay for this mess and our representatives encourage it. And very few stand against it.As a non voter, im off the hook.
But I don't think voters are complicit. Voters are constantly choosing the lesser of bad choices. None of us decided to make Israel the Jews place after WW2. We're not part of the PLO or IDF.
Has any seriously viable candidate ever run who promised to address the conflict? Clinton brokered a peace agreement that fell apart like always.
I cannot be held responsible for a hostile group being generationally angry for 70 or 80 yrs.
He kind of did it unintentionally for very, very late term abortion if you think about it.This guy died for a conflict going on for either decades or millennia depending on your perspective. His death will accomplish nothing. The conflict is much stronger than another suicide. In fact, suicide is an acceptable way of fighting in some of the cultures involved in this never ending fight.
I wish he would have given his life for a cause with better odds his act could have helped.
