Active-duty Air Force member Aaron Bushnell has died after staging a pro-Palestinian protest in D.C.

Today, I am planning to engage in an extreme act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people

Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.

I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

Free Palestine
