American Man Lights Himself On Fire For Palestine In Front Of The Israeli Embassy

A man just set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy.

All we know right now is that it was an American soldier, who was shouting “Free Palestine,” and “I will not be complicit with genocide,” as he burned in front of the Israeli Embassy.

This is a perfect representation of how Western citizens feel. Every single day, we the people become more and more powerless. If you live in America, there is literally nothing you can do to create true change. There is no vote, there is no discussion. There is nothing you can do but yell as loud as you can into an empty void. That feeling burns deep into your soul and remains there until you let it out.

This man let it out. He, like all of us, did not know what to do. He did not know how to be heard, because there is no possible way to be heard. Millions of people across the world have protested for this massacre to stop to no avail. It does not matter what we want, but rather what they want. They aren’t us. We don’t choose them, but they still rule us. 

They rule us, for now, but that feeling deep in our souls will remain. It’s the one thing they can not take from us. One day, that feeling will be released, just as it was for this American soldier. We as a people will say, “Enough is enough.” We will do what every population before us has done, but this time it will be to topple the greatest force that has ever lived.

That, and only that, is how we get our seat back at the table of government.
