An American pilot set himself on fire near the Israeli Embassy in Washington as a protest against the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

Before the incident, the American said that he would “no longer participate in genocide,” adding that his act was only a small part of the suffering of the Palestinians. He then doused himself with benzine and set himself on fire, shouting “Free Palestine!”

Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty member of the US Air Force, has died from his injuries, as per online reports.

His last words were “Free Palestine.”

Earlier in the day, Bushnell posted a final message on Facebook, alongside a link to a Twitch stream that has since been taken down.

He wrote: "Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."

It’s Election Day for local authorities (mayors and city council members)

Even in the battlefields the IDF is facilitating the right to vote!

Seven million Israelis are eligible to vote for mayors or local council heads in 197 municipal authorities and 44 local councils in a ballot that was originally scheduled for October 31, 2023, three weeks after the start of the war against the Hamas terror group in the wake of its devastating October 7 massacre in the western Negev.

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets into the Galilee. The terrorist organization claims that this is a response to yesterday's Israeli attack in Baalbek, deep in Lebanon.
The terrorist organization also claims that the barrage was aimed at the Miron base.

The IDF killed Ahmed De’Arma, the commander of the Islamic Jihad’s military wing in Tubas in northeastern Samaria in an operation in Tubas. Along with him, two other terrorists were eliminated: Osama Abu Zalat and Mohammed Bayadasa.

US President Joe Biden said that "Israel will be ready to stop fighting during the month of Ramadan" if a cease-fire agreement is reached, under which hostages will be released from captivity in Gaza. Earlier, the US president said that he hopes that a cease-fire agreement will be reached by next Monday.

Hamas is offering condolences to the family of the U.S. Air Force serviceman who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in DC while chanting “Free Palestine!”.

EXPOSING HAMAS:

Hamas senior leader Ghazi Hamad, while visiting Nigeria, meticulously lists every detail of civilian casualties in Gaza.

When asked about Hamas fighter casualty numbers, his response:

“I don’t know what the number of Hamas fighters were killed… the situation is an area of war… no one can count, no one can know, no one can make an investigation…”

Our modern liberal & progressive world often believes that religious movements are the most violent and deadly ones.

However, history shows that it’s the “secular” ones that killed more than them all - both Nazism and Communism were such in the last 120 years.

The same liberals are now suggesting that some Palestinian organizations are better than others. Since Hamas is religious and Fatah is “secular” let’s choose those with mustaches and outlaw the ones with beards.
However, as we’ve just learned - the secular are as evil if not more. Why? Because they are more deceitful and thus appear as innocent and just to many.

The Palestinian authority is educating children to hate the Jews, to want to eliminate Israel and is engaged in “pay for slay” method of giving stipend to families of convicted or dead terrorists. Having them in Gaza instead of Hamas is nothing but deception and madness. It’s basically replacing a bearded evil with a mustached one. Both by the way deny the Holocaust in Europe and downplay the second one of October 7th.

A senior Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, said this morning:

“We stand by our position, and we will not retreat from it: first the cessation of aggression, the end of the siege and the introduction of aid. "Prisoner exchange - only later"
“Leaking details from the Paris document and the numbers mentioned are a type of propaganda, designed to put pressure on us, and push us into a state of weakness.”
“The purpose of the Paris document and the Americans is to give Netanyahu more time to prepare for a new attack.”

“The Paris document is an American dictate, and it does not reach what we demand.”
“President Biden practices political hypocrisy, and he participates in the crime of murdering the Palestinians”.
