Fascist settlers like the zionists occupying Palestine won’t do that. They’ll just go home to Europe if their project falls far enough for them to begin to experience anything approaching this level of despair. Already many of them fled back home after Oct 7th because they don’t feel safe in the settlements.
I know. What I’m getting at is that Aaron’s death seems like a loss to the free Palestine movement since it came at little to no cost to the other side.
Apparently vibes are more important than material reality
You’re narrowing your worldview too far into materialism, to the point where nothing immediately tangible and measurable matters IMO.
Absolutely, “vibes” (in this case- the raising of awareness and education of the masses- and the call to the necessity of revolutionary action) matters. It matters for getting the revolution off the ground to begin with, and it matters for protecting the spirit and integrity of the revolution from then onwards.
I certainly don’t want Aaron’s death to have been in vain, but I’m not optimistic. The only people who remember the last time someone torched themselves in front of an Israeli embassy were already paying attention by then.
