Man sets himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy, screaming "Free Palestine!"

Predictably, the guy is becoming an icon for the complete insanity of the #freepalestine movement. Well done.

By the way, just to contextualized the sheer stupidity and idiocy of condoning this act:

Self-immolation as done in the past by some tibetan monks had the function of bringing awareness to an issue that wasn't known on the world stage at all. Burning yourself to death as a way of protest is the dumbest shit you could possibly do, especially when the biggest international issue and the hottest topic everywhere is the issue you are trying to "protest".

And it sets a bad precedent. Since the first self-immolation, hundreds of people have burned themselves to death in tibet. Women, children and so forth. You don't even know it happened, because nobody cares, because it's not really effective in any meaningful way in most contexts.

He will live on as a permanent reminder of the suicidal martydom cult that is the free-palestine movement.

Be mindful that by violently condemning one movement you may very well be (unintentionally) creating a new violent movement. Take a moment to self-reflect.

A Buddhist monk set himself on fire in 1963 during the Vietnam war, which made a lasting impression  on the world.

To the modern, materialist mindset this is viewed as crazy.   But when the crazy call you crazy, does that mean you are sane?

I never heard of that and probably 99% of the people here. Now we will start burning our selves for every world's problems?

Obviously this guy has PTSD. You can’t ignore someone who has been in the army has the potential of being mentally unstable.

At the time it was widely reported in the US press.  Even President Kennedy commented on it.   It's in many history books.

As I pointed out in my first post, the reason why Buddhist monks in the past burned themselves wasn't as an act of mere protest, but as an act of raising awareness to a problem that wasn't widely in public consciousness.

It still was extreme controversial, and I would say the overall consequences of this were negative (it didn't really change anything but caused many people to imitate this type of practice, achieving equally as little).

 

But to compare this type of self-immolation to a mentally diseased anarchist communist who suffered from white-guilt and apparently had a child and a wife, who had never practiced ego death of any kind, and whose political aim is targeted around an issue that is already in the public consciousness far more than it deserves, is just childish and irresponsible.

 

 

Even if you would view self-immolation as some sort of valid form of protest, it should obviously be done by people who are prepared to do so, who do so from a perspective of wisdom not mental disease and political radicalization, and who will not cause complete unnecessary suffering to their surroundings. And it should also be highly likely that this type of action will actually make a significant positive impact.

 

With most self-immolations, this is simply not the case. They are done by mentally ill people, people who are radicalized in unhealthy ways and people who are simply delusional.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-immolation_protests_by_Tibetans_in_China

In Tibet alone we have had 160 self-immolations in the past 15 years, you know nothing about any of them. Nobody does, and nobody cares. It's a completely futile suicidal knee-jerk reaction that was started by some delusional monk who was warned that he would encourage countless others to do the same.

[Scholar]

It's also important to consider that the monks who attempt to raise awareness or protest through self-immolation, do so in a context in which there is no other means of protest. In Tibet, for example, the Chinese government is undemocratic and oppressive, there is no way to protest in China.

 

This of course still makes self-immolation even in that context naive and harmful, and it seems to be the case that self-immolation actually leads to worsening conditions for the populations in which it occurs, but it further shows how immature the attempt to glorify this type of behavior in the context of an american mentally diseased individual is.
