Another man self-immolates to protest Israel’s Gaza genocide

USA: An anti-war activist Matt Nelson has reportedly self-immolated taking his protest to extreme level, against the US approval and support of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and its atrocities on the people of Palestine.

Earlier on Wednesday, before the self-immolation, a video surfaced on YouTube in which Nelson was seen to condemn the Biden administration for its political, logistic and material support of Israel’s brutal siege and havoc in Gaza.

“My name is Matt Nelson and I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he said in the video.

“The protest I’m about to engage in is a call to our government to stop transferring Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians, to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, and to support the ICC indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government,” he says.

He continues, “We call ourselves the greatest nation in history yet we spend more on weapons of warfare than we do on educating our children helping the homeless and ensuring all Americans have equal rights and preserving the environment combined.”

At the end of the video, he calls upon those who “are of the same mind” to demand American members of Congress to act on the stated objectives of his act of protest.
