MARCUS: Deranged martyrdom of US airman who burned himself to demise
What flaming madness!
US airman Aaron Bushnell, a person so clearly deranged and mentally unwell, burnt himself to demise this weekend exterior the Israeli embassy in DC in an obvious ‘protest’ in opposition to the warfare in Gaza.
Terrifying footage – that Bushnell livestreamed – exhibits him dousing his Air Force uniform in lighter fluid earlier than igniting himself and screaming ‘Free Palestine’ as his flesh actually melts away.
It was violent, maybe quite egocentric, and deeply surprising, not least for the courageous embassy guards who had to reply to the incident. Imagine having to see, hear – odor – such horror.
And but the social media pile on from the terminally on-line Left noticed Bushnell immediately feted as a martyr of the Palestinian trigger.

Cue a slew of repellent posts praising Bushnell’s suicide as ‘courageous’, and that he might ‘relaxation in energy’. There have been even cartoons of him aflame, memorializing his violent act.
Some customers mocked one safety guard who pulled his gun on Bushnell. How ridiculous; this occurred exterior a highly-sensitive diplomatic property – Israel’s embassy – and nobody knew what may occur subsequent. Preparing to reply with deadly power appears eminently wise.
It can be apparent to any wise considering individual what this tragedy was: harmful extremism dedicated by a reported anarchist and former cult member. A suicide masquerading as protest that no sane or caring individual may probably countenance celebrating.
Yet, for all their #BeKind claims of psychological well being consciousness, the determined Left can not help themselves.
As perverse vigils and icons popped exterior the DC embassy within the hours following the incident, right here was unbiased presidential candidate {and professional} fanatic Cornell West, shamelessly co-opting Bushnell’s demise to bolster his personal sunken status in a submit on X:
‘Let us always remember the extraordinary braveness and dedication of brother Aaron Bushnell who died for reality and justice!… Let us rededicate ourselves to real solidarity with Palestinians present process genocidal assaults in actual time!’
Jill Stein, Green Party presidential candidate – who are they kidding?! – adopted swimsuit: ‘May his sacrifice deepen our dedication to cease genocide now.’
To my thoughts, these hysterical calls to motion come painfully and dangerously near actively encouraging others to do the identical. To actually take their very own lives for a warfare that America is not even combating.
But let’s be clear: Bushnell did not die ‘for reality and justice’. Self-immolation is not ‘real solidarity’ with the Palestinian trigger. There was no ‘sacrifice’ on show exterior Israel’s embassy.
No, he died by violent and useless suicide, little question affected by cult-induced demons. To insist in any other case makes you no higher than the butchers of Hamas who penned this ISIS-style obituary for Bushnell:
He will ‘stay immortal… he gave his life with the intention to make clear Zionist massacres and ethnic cleaning in opposition to our individuals within the Gaza Strip.’
This is death-squad degree stuff.

But it is not the primary time that America’s purple-haired set – pushed mad within the wake of the October 7 assaults – has fallen for the lies and attract of our enemies.
Remember when TikTokers lined as much as categorical their admiration for Osama bin Laden’s post-9/11 ‘Letter to America’.
‘Just learn it… my eyes have been opened,’ one consumer wrote.
And it is not simply Gen-Zers. Harvard and UPenn have each misplaced a president over on-campus anti-Semitism.
Meanwhile, the ranks of our Democratic Party are filled with pro-Hamas radicals like Rashida Tlaib and her fellow Squad members.
We are actually a nation enthralled by radical Islam. And it is making us sick.
All good and first rate Americans ought to mourn Bushnell’s useless demise – however we should accomplish that with a transparent reality in thoughts:
Hamas has taken yet one more life, this time with vile lies and manipulation quite than bullets or bombs.
We are all within the crosshairs of those terrorists, who will gladly kill us, or higher nonetheless, goad us into guaranteeing our personal extinction.
