“We are all culpable,” Matt Nelson said before lighting himself on fire. This is the third such incident in a year.

    It was not immediately clear why the man did what he did.

    I think it might be the Israeli genocide in gaza?

        You mean the case which convinced the ICJ that Israel was committing war crimes and made them order Israel to halt operations?

        Just because they haven’t proven genocide in the full legal sense doesn’t mean what’s happening there is right.

          They didn’t rule that Israel was committing war crimes.

          Anything else you’d like to make up?

            It’s pretty clear you’re detached from reality. Israeli Ministers themselves said so. I am sure you think I am making an antisemitic statement. It doesn’t matter if thats a belief you genuinely hold or just parroting Israel propaganda.

            But 50k+ Civilians have been killed in response to 2k dead. Evidence is there. You simply refuse to accept it because you think Israel is the good guys here and everybody else is Hamas.

            lack of decency and respect for human lives doesn’t need a court judgement to be obvious.

              No, that’s made up. There’s no known figure for civilian deaths in Gaza.
