By Bronx Anti-War Coalition Workers World is in full solidarity with this statement. “FREE PALESTINE!” were his last words and his motivation — this must always be centered. Aaron Bushnell’s final words, “Free Palestine!” encapsulate both his last breath and his driving force. It is impe

Aaron Bushnell made the ultimate sacrifice to combat the ultimate crime. Contrary to the notion that mental illness implies a detachment from reality, Bushnell’s final Facebook post and its video introduction demonstrate a keen awareness of the grim realities often hidden by mainstream narratives. The weaponization of alleged mental illness is yet another deplorable tactic employed by Zionists and corporate media to perpetuate their own delusions.

We mourn the loss of Aaron Bushnell because the world cannot afford to lose such morally conscious individuals. Aaron Bushnell, you are in the hearts of all the free people in the world.

This is a good time to remind everyone speaking on Aaron Bushnell and the ongoing genocide in Gaza that the best source for information is directly from the Palestinian resistance on the ground and from the wider camp of resistance.

    Leftists and just good people in general do value Palestinian lives, hence all the protests and anger over the genocide. I think the reason Bushnell gets highlighted so much is because it’s not only pretty unique (30k Palestinians dead in the recent Israeli attacks versus now just two Americans self immolating) but since it’s an American it personalizes it. Palestine is a place way over there. But Bushnell grew up here and lived a life very similar to mine. It makes his sacrifice a stronger propaganda tool to advance the Palestinian cause. That’s just my reading of it.

    edit: I think this video makes a good case for why it’s so impactful
