Revolutionary Left Radio: Man on Fire: Aaron Bushnell's Sacrifice for Palestine
revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com
Rest in Peace, Aaron. Free Palestine!  "To burn oneself by fire is to prove that what one is saying is of the utmost importance. There is nothing more painful than burning oneself. To say something while experiencing this kind of pain is to say it with utmost courage, frankness, determination, and sincerity." - Thich Nhat Hanh in a letter to MLK Jr. regarding the self-immolation of Vietnamese Buddhist monks

    Did Aaron still have religious beliefs? He was raised in a cult, but having left he clearly had different ideas than they did (the cult is very pro-Israel). There's something to be said about choosing to die without a firm belief that you will live on in one form or another.
