I regret ever clicking on the spoilers, and I just have this to say: Free Palestine, Free Gaza, Intifada, whateve the fuck this crowd wants to call themselves? They might wish that they could self-immolate and create an international spectacle like Thich Quang Duc did in South Vietnam but they're missing out on a crucial detail: Thich Quang Duc's immolation was both a protest against the South Vietnamese puppet dictatorship the CIA backed, and a miracle within Vietnamese Buddhist tradition. There are testimonies from both laypeople who witnessed the event and the people who photographed his body on fire while never faltering from an upright seated lotus position. Why? Because he was so steadfast in his devotion to the cause and the teachings of the Buddha dharma that pain could no longer affect him. He did not die flailing in agony, demanding help, or impotently demanding revolution in another country while insulated from the rest of the world in America. Seriously, what the shit is up with Free Palestine protesters, or any protesters for that matter, trying to self-immolate to bring attention to their cause. Did no one ever think "hey, let me sign up for Doctors Without Borders" and do some actual community service or something? You don't have to be a doctor, you could also do some other type of non-medical role but nooooooooooo, we have to follow the lead of the famous Vietnamese monk because he made JFK spit his coffee when he saw the paper in the 1960s and then ordered the CIA to execute the military puppet dictatorship because shit went too far.
