      No. I refuse to glorify suicide. Anyone thinking of setting themselves on fire needs help. This is awful.

          He set himself on fire to raise suicide awareness? I thought it was about the Palestinians… Pretty sure everyone was already aware of that situation. In any case, it’s incredibly sad and I don’t support it.

          Oh great, you got to talk about something on the internet. That made someone dying worthwhile.

          A person killed himself and some internet ghouls think it’s a good thing.

        The people who need help are the ones who can sit by and criticize people for their opposition to a genocide.

        It’s not some silly game. Our lives are not more meaningful than Palestinians, this is awful, but it pales in comparison to what we are putting Palestine through.

        For some people, not taking any action they can to try and stop the genocide, no matter how hopeless, is worse than death. When the pain becomes unbearable…

        This man is a martyr and a hero, and he didn’t kill himself, the US and Israel killed him in the name of their genocide.

          This man is a martyr and a hero

          He’s a man who, in a less dysfunctional society, might have gotten the mental-health treatment he needed. He’s neither a martyr nor a hero.

          and he didn’t kill himself

          Oh yes, he fucking did. And Netanyahu cares as little now as before this poor suffering fool offed himself. The grand gesture accomplished nothing.

      People are “brave” enough to put a shotgun in their mouth and pull the trigger too. That’s not worthy of respect, it’s the symptom of a disease. And we’ll all rest the same way, since the afterlife is a bronze-age fairy tale.
