Israel vs Palestinians

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.

A little. A little at the ridiculousness of it. The waste of it. The thought he was of sound mind.

We laughed at the guy who died trying to prove the earth was flat. Why not this fiery supporter of Hamas?
 
The full video is up on Reddit in the Palestine thread.

Dude sounded pretty out there, prior to his protest against the “colonizers”.

He did remain standing for quite a while, lit up like a human torch. I guess that was somewhat impressive.
 
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.
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.
 
The narrative that Israel is deliberately bombing babies the way Palestinians deliberately stole babies notwithstanding…

I’m guessing the Palestinians would have happily kidnapped and murdered more - if they could have.
It's more than a narrative, it's reality.
 
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.
We're complicit in that we elect the people that feed the problem.

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.
 
wanting to kill yourself or others is the basic working definition of “unstable”. But if you want actual diagnoses suicidal ideation a R45.851 and F32.A
So those on here that cheerlead the destruction of Gaza and death of its population are unstable. But we already knew that.

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.
 
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.
He kind of did it unintentionally for very, very late term abortion if you think about it.
