A protester was in critical condition Friday after setting themself on fire outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta, authorities said. A security guard who tried to intervene was also injured.

A Palestinian flag found at the scene was part of the protest, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said at a news conference.

He added that investigators did not believe there was any connection to terrorism and none of the consular staff was ever in danger.

“We do not see any threat here,” he said. “We believe it was an act of extreme political protest that occurred.”

I would suggest to restrain from hating groups, even if some act in a way you don't agree with.


Reminds me of what Yanis said:

but let me say something about power racism and i will add patriarchy i don't believe that we have the answers

to these things in my in you know this is a novel and in it i try to make it absolutely clear

that i do not believe that my side of politics even my very

quaint version of socialism even if we manage to sort out all the problems with corporations with the power of capital

to exploit to reproduce itself and so on that we can deal with patriarchy

or racism discrimination runs very deeply in our societies and you know we can reduce the toxicity

which always breeds more racism and more xenophobia and more sexism

but i'm pessimistic about human nature we

really need i you know i look into myself and i find a nazi living in me a racist living in me a sexist living in me

i constantly have battles with me with myself and anybody who tells me that you're not like that you're lying

we are all like this we all have a dark side and we all need to fight constantly against it
