Youre gonna call self immolation liberalism, then post idealistic nonsense like this? Yeah we can all wish our enemies are going to just suddenly wake up one day, realize theyre hitler, and off themselves and their cohorts. But thats not gonna fucking happen, so wake up and deal with reality as it exists.
Yeah, its depressing. A dude literally killed himself for Palestine. Maybe it was pointless, maybe it wont change anything, but you can be respectful while adressing that.
If there was an organized group of people in the military that could carry out a targetted strike against their superiors then sure id agree, but a single man isn't going to do much.
There's no moral argument against killing members of a genocidal fascist military, sure, but there is a realistic one and its that you cant just kill people by trying really hard. It takes effort and ability that may not be avaliable to an individual to actually effectively carry out an assassination. I think that since we so often talk about these things in the hypothetical (joking about fragging and stuff), it obfuscates the fact that it takes real material work to do these things properly, and getting caught before you can do anything is incredibly easy.
Covering yourself in gasoline and flicking a lighter is far far easier to carry out alone, even if the individual will to kill yourself in such a way is not present in most people.
What would that have done? This guy is in the US Airforce, not the IDF. This isnt like Veitnam or Korea, or any of the other genocidal actions take by the US Military, because the US military isnt the one perpetuating this genocide, Israel is. Killing some low level Air Force officer in DC isnt going to do anything to help Palestinians.
Think about it: if he had killed another member of the Air Force "for Palestine" that would be incredible propaganda for Israel. It would have done nothing but create further fuel for American support for Israel.
What a weird response to someone literally killing themselves in an incredibly excruciating and visible manner in an effort to do something. You dont know what this man had access to or what he reasonably could have done. The American military, as evil and genocidal as it is, is not the body carrying out the genocide of Palestinians, Israel is. America is complicit and we are funding them, but theres no way to know if this man had any access to relevant personnel or any higher officials in the US gov. And theres no saying as to whether soemthing like a scuttled jet in some Air Force hanger would make an ounce of difference in Palestine (and this is assuming this guy could have carried out sabotage on that level alone, which is a long shot).
As awful as it may be, the suicide of a service member may be more effective than any other thing he could have done. Propoganda can be, if properly utilized, a far more useful and effective tool than adventurism and individual acts of violence.
I seriously doubt this is an actual option he could have taken.

Sir, this is a communist site. We dont do that sort of thing around here.
Technically the quote "And where did that bring you? Back to me." is a line Thanos says in Avenger's Endgame. It became a larger meme that then birthed the chapo bit and you know the rest.
