Self-immolation is widely recognised as the most extreme form of protest possible—to publicly destroy one’s own life in the most violent and extreme way is a stark warning for society to pay attention, as it has already crossed a line. Now, two US citizens have self-immolated over the US-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza in less than three months. The first was dismissed as antisemitism, the second is already being labelled as a ‘mental health issue.’ Our society is broken in the most disturbing of ways. Those with their fingers on the levers of power are guilty of the most heinous of crimes—crimes that reveal a deep psychopathic sickness at the heart of government. And the gatekeepers of truth, our media body, collude with them to cover up these sick and twisted crimes. We must not let them. We must continue to speak truth, loudly and constantly, and work tirelessly to inform one another of the criminals in power and their depraved actions. We need to fight against this disgusting narrative of lies and death, before it kills us all.
