Palestinian goes Buddhist: US self-immolation

What was Rage Against the Machine on about by using this Buddhist monk on the CD cover?

They hit back. Now we must kill them all.

Once upon a time, long long ago, America was behaving badly in the fabled jungles of Buddhist Vietnam. It was killing, slaughtering innocents, bombing villagers, setting trees on fire with jellified gasoline (napalm), causing it to rain by controlling the weather, causing floods and devastation to farmland and villagers. America was trying new weapons, bombing as many ordinates as it could get rid of to profit by ordering more from contractors connected to the weapons trade.

The Jewish Bible says it's okay to kill to win war.

It dropped so many bombs that it ran out of targets, when glorious warlord National [War] Adviser and Sec'y of State Kissinger devised a way to get rid of more bombs: drop them all over neighboring countries not involved in the war, killing countless innocent civilians in war crimes unimaginable after the greatest war crime of all, dropping nuclear bombs on Buddhist Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) as demonstrations to the world:

"Hey, look everybody, we have the biggest bombs the world has ever seen since they were used on Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro (Indus Valley Civilization city-states of ancient pre-India or Great Bharat, as Oppenheimer well knew)! We'll gladly drop them on your civilian populations if you cross us! Go on, we dare you!"

Then, in their desperation to bring attention to America's crimes, Vietnmese Buddhist monks spoke up. But it wasn't enough, until one brave/senseless monk decided to do the unthinkable. It was the only way to get the world's attention: He set himself on fire, self-immolation, protected by exquisite mindful meditation to see all things as

1. impermanent, hurtling towards destruction,
2. unsatisfactory (unable to fulfill one or quench the flood of desires), and
3. impersonal (not "I" but an empty process of consciousness, carrying on from one existence to another.

Now a non-monastic, non-meditator (though perhaps one who prays to the great Allah until samadhi), and presumably a non-Buddhist Palestinian female in the USA has done the unthinkable: She has set herself on fire in Atlanta to bring attention to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank under the tyranny of US-sponsored Israel and Netanyahu's murderous, genocidal rightwing government.

Zionist Jewish Israel has been doing settler colonialism and genocide for a long time, killing medics, journalists, children and anyone else standing in the way of Israel's total conquest of the Middle East to devour states all around it and become the new world leader, imposing capitalism and phony-democracy on everyone around.

Palestinian supporter sets self on fire outside Israeli consulate in Atlanta, USA

(LiveNOW from FOX) Dec 1, 2023: A person in possession of a Palestinian flag set herself on fire outside the Israeli Consulate building in Atlanta, USA. The protester was badly burned (partially immolated) then transported to a hospital in critical condition.

A guard attempted to intervene but was unsuccessful. The guard was burned on his leg and wrist. The guard's exact condition is now unknown. Police said the incident was not a terrorist act but rather an "extreme act of political protest."
