Last night I was on Flashpoints with Dennis Bernstein about Matt Nelson, who is by all indications the person who immolated themselves across from the Israeli consulate in Boston on Sept.

    If he makes it, he is going to be infinitely full of regret with the consequences he’ll have to live with.

      I think what will hurt worse is that the genocide is still talking place and his sacrifice didn’t move the needle as much as he would have expected.

        I don’t think you can presume to know what he expected when he hasn’t said what he expected, or to know the effect it’s had within a handful of days.

          Please. I’ve already seen ghoulish, unprincipled crackers talking about “the world is tired of martyrs” on this very site. Not one singular settler scumbag is going to change their ways over this. We need to stop immolating ourselves and start burning the real problems.
