the designist entity. now the new york times is embroiled in controversy over a discredited article claiming hamas sexually assaulted a zionist settler during the al-aqsa flood operation and bushnel hailed as hero receiving praise from many pro palestinian activists who saw his extreme act of protest as success in drawing attention to the genocide and suffering of the palestinian people. welcome to expose the show that leaves no stone unturned. of on sunday february 24, aaron bischnell, an active duty member of the us air force passed away from injuries sustained in the fire he lit himself with in front of the israeli and

embassy the day before in washington dc in protest of the israeli genocide on palestinians and the complicity of his government in design genocide. bishnel's final words were free palestine. in a video recorded on his way to the embassy, bushnel of said, i will no longer be complicit in genocide. i'm about to engage an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme. all, of this is what our ruling class has decided will be normal,nell explained in the video he streamed before he set himself on fire. let us see what mr. fuad itayim, our broadcast expert and writer at the cradle has about this issue in fake news expose. aaron bushnell a name that will go down in history as a man who opted sacrifice his own life to protest... his country's involvement in

genocide against the palestinian people, however, as expected, western and zionist media made sure to smear his name, every chance they got, and went as far as accuse him of being mentally ill. fuad will tell us more about this smearing campaign, go ahead for, so let's start with msnbc's coverage of aaron bushnell and his heroic self emilation, so aaron bushnell, the us air force airman, msnbc referred to his heroic sacrifice and as a protest against the israel hamas war, simplifying it completely, even though he clearly stated in his video that this was an extreme form of protest in solidarity with the palestinians who are having a genocide witged against them, this was the only coverage that msnbc did on aaron bushnell and it wasn't shared either on their website or on their social media, but the internet caught it, so here's the clip that we found on youtube uh of that live report aired on msnbc where they go the extra mile in fake news, inaccurate. and even disrespect, airing

the suicide hotline imply that aron was crazy and that this was done because of a mental health issue instead of an extreme form of protest against the genocide, an ongoing genocide. this is so disrespectful, let us see the video, let's take a look. yesterday 25 year old aaron bushnell of san antonio texas, the active duty airman in the us air force who set himself on fire outside the israeli embassy an apparent protest against the israel hamas war has died. identification of made by metropolitan police here. wischnell filmed his own self-imilation on his cell phone, yelling free palestine before collapsing to the ground outside the embassy. he was rushed to the hospital for treatment, but later succumbed to his injuries. and if you are someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the suicide aid. wow, yeah, so uh, this is one example of western mainstream media, basically assuming the role of. defense attorneys for israel through its

narratives which have unfortunately successfully portrayed an occupying power as victim, so our audience is going to see more about that in the mainstream media section with julia. don't get me wrong, i don't mean to imply that every single media outlet uh portrayed this terribly. for example, cnn, while their headline was lacking some really crucial context, surprisingly their televised coverage of the matter was not so bad, so in let's focus on that aspect and take a look. well, that's... what cnn had to say about that. authorities identified aaron bushnill as the person who on sunday set himself on fire. the 25-year-old was an active duty member of the us air force. cnn's gabe cohen joins us now with the details and and gabe, this is something that he did in protest. yeah, that's correct, and we're learning much more about this 25-year-old active duty airman uh, aaron bushnell, as you mentioned, he's from san antonio, texas and he live streamed. actions on sunday in broad daylight

on the streets of dc outside the israeli embassy. we are not going to show that video. it is extremely graphic and disturbing. i have watched the video. i can tell... you at the beginning, at the start of it, you can see bush now walking up to the embassy on the street in his military fatigues, he speaking calmly to the camera, i want to read a portion of what he says, he said, uh, quote, i will no longer be complicit in genocide. i am about to engage an extreme active protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. this is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. he then goes to pour some sort of accelerant, it looks like on his head out of water bottle he was carrying, and then he lights himself on fire, boris, and as the flames engulf him, you can hear him yelling, free palestine, free palestine again and again until finally he collapses, and that is when officers, you can see them race in, one

them with fire extinguisher in their hands trying to put out the flames, but it takes time, and as we have learned, bushnel died in the hospital at some point later on, uh, and and look, it really... speaks to the tensions that are continuing escalate around the war in gaza, not just across the world, but here in the united states. we saw a similar incident in december, when someone self-im imolated, uh, lit themselves on fire outside the israeli consulate in atlanta, but this feels different, this is an active duty member of the military burning himself to death on the streets of the nation's capital. wow, foad, i mean, that is refreshing despite the fact that it's a very painful incident. i mean cnn, this was a bit better, so they related his message, uh, they recounted his last words, they said much more clearly that this was an extreme form of protest instead of calling him crazy like msndc did basically uh, but of course it's cnn, so they didn't mention that israel is starving and killing

babies, they didn't go into detail about uh the horrific genocide that's ongoing that we're witnessing a daily basis, but this may be the best that we can expect from western mainstream media, and it is is very, very advanced position if i may. thank you very much for your analysis in fake news expose. ladies and gents, now we move to digital mainstream media. the mainstream media is not doing a sufficient enough job of informing the audience about the severity of the atrocities being committed by the zionist entity in gaza. julia qasim, our mainstream media expert, joins us to tell us. more about it, the floor is yours, julia. thanks, marwa. so to the extent that mainstream media does actually cover the genocide in against the palestinian people in ghazza. major outlets like the new york times or the washington post have uh published uh content that's obviously skewed towards the zianist entity.

too little, too late, and five months after the fact if they decide to admit to the crimes at all. so take for example the controversy that is currently inngulfing the new york times, uh, mar is now exposed uh, one of the co-authors of a discredited piece that accused the palestinian resistance hamas of rape on october 7th al-a flood operation as uh being a former member of the iof's intelligence unit, had not even worked as a journalist at all prior to taking a central role in the new york times coverage of october 7th. so we've covered a story earlier expose segment uh, but this time it's been revealed that annett schwarz, the co-author the badly flawed article how hamas weaponized. sexual violence, liked posts on social media that glorified the genocide against palestinians and had no passed by lines in journalism. so audacious that something that only mainstream media would attempt, something so unprofessional and crazy, doesn't it? right, as we remember, the article made false claims of sexual violence

by hamas on october 7th, uh, this was a regular tactic employed by the palestiny resistance group as a weapon of war, so the family of the soldier who was allegedly attacked by hamas on the... particular day um according to this uh piece and was portrayed as key character in the story about rape, gal abdush was furious and actually condemn the account of their daughter uh so the family claimed to have no clue whatsoever that uh gal had been sexually assaulted, no proof to back up their allegations and no knowledge that the times was going to publish story allegging that their daughter had been raped, so a third of the article was devoted uh to the story of gal abdush written by this former idf intelligence soldier uh and this scandal just brings us back to the unconfirmed story about the 40 beheaded babies which no mainstream media sources ever really investigated, definitely as if these 40 babies have no parents to tell us their stories, just like for example the parents of abdush said that none of this that was mentioned in the new york times was actually

uh true, it was all uh fiction, it was not a fact whatsoever, so how about other pieces like that, like the 40 babies or like mass rape or like ' for example, the attack on the uh desert concert for that matter. now following up on what fuad was talking about in the fake news uh segment of the broadcast media, concerning the misrepresentation of aaron buschnell's self-amilation and in uh support of the palestinian people. we have a piece by the washington post entitled aaron bushnel was not a hero. self-imilation is not an active political protest we should celebrate. in this piece, ramesh ponaru, a contributing columnis to the washington post was animate on showing his discontentment that bushnell's active protest has earned him some post-mortem praise with activists calling him a hero and calling his self emilation a wake-up call. so he was... specially frustrated that the jewish voice for peace honored bushnel by calling his self-emilation final act of solidarity. this

piece also condemned cornel west, a progressive academic who's running for president in the us, for saying we should never forget bushnell's courage. and it also uh condemns green party candidate jill stein for quoting bushnel and writing this extraordinary sacrifice brings into greater focus the immense horror that our government is committing in our name. ponaru also concludes in sin opinion piece that these economs are irresponsible, they are also false. wow, so this smarwa shows how immediately after bushnel's death, coverage purposely excluded the reason why he was protesting, and the fact that it was done to shed light on the complicity of the us government in the genocide waged on gaza by the zionis entity, and rather the coverage shifted to why people should not continue, consider is acts. as protest but as suicide, which is definitely tells you lot about the people who support zionist israel and how

their mentality when it's when the narrative doesn't serve them, their mentality goes directly into either calling people terrorists or calling them mentally ill. anyways, i want to thank you very much miss julia qassim for telling us the latest about the digital mainstream media, especially about the hero aron bush now, now ladies and gents we move to social media expose. whether or not you agree with aaron bischnell's form of extreme protest or not, he managed with his last breath to speak up on behalf of palestinians facing extermination at the hands of a genocidal zionist regime that is being fully funded, supported and armed by the us government. aaron did this to make sure that his message was heard and heard it was on social media repeated by many supporters of palestine and denounced by many advocates of zionist israel's genocidal behavior against palestinians. here is sima

itaim, our social media expert and editor at the cradle, with more. there you go. thank you for having me. so aaron bushnell's extreme active protest, the motive behind that was not only to draw attention to us complicity to the genocidal war in gaza, but to actually grab the attention of us media. and it's impossible to discuss his actions while ignoring his words, but that is precisely what the media attempt. to do, we have a tweet by the barracks live, on x saying aaron bushno, an active duty officer in the armed forces, setting himself on fire to protest his deployment to israel is very bad look for the us info war, the mainstream media is working over time for the pentagon to smear his name, never stop saying his name, hashtag aaron bushnell, wow, so they got it, they got it good and they got it early that smering campaign is... being basically pushed by the uh regime in the us and zinus israel as well, and this further

exposed us media and it's bias and in its silence. so we have another post on x by danny hifong at spirit of ho who addressed this matter saying mainstream media want us to contemplate the mental health of aaron bushnell while ignoring the fact that governments of israel in the us are committing a genocide in a concentration camp in the year 2024. that's the real sickness here. i second what danny is saying and it is is horrific the way that they are trying to portray him as mentally ill, yeah, or just unstable, because they they can't even make it the case that he's mentally ill, you know, grew up in a religious household, has anarchist background, and what not, just trying to tell the world that he's not saying, exactly. so we have also, as fuad mentioned earlier, uh, cnn handled the news of this extreme active protest surprisingly a more truthful and professional way than we actually expected this time. so uh there's a post on x by caitlyn johnstone who quote tweeted a video of cnn's coverage of

buschnell's act of protest saying, he did it. aaron bushnel forced this to happen, he did something so jarring and impactful that the mass media would be forced to report the raw facts about it if they want to avoid internal conflict like cnn and nyt have been experiencing in recent weeks. he left them no choice. meanwhile, the social media campaign to honor aron bushnell's sacrifice. on behalf of palestine is still sweeping social media platforms all over the world, like this facebook post by sean king who's a new york times best selling author of make change, he's also co-founder of grassroots law, and he happens to have follower base of 2.5 million, so he posted a photo of buschnell and wrote aaron bushnel, the us air force veteran who gave his life to help stop the genocide of palestinians, has passed away. i want to honor a young man that was so disturbed by the genocide of palestinians that he set himself on fire yesterday at the israeli embassy in washington dc. instead of harming someone else, he made a choice that

of course seems strange and disturbing to all of us, but i empathize with him. daily i grapple with just how ineffective. if we all are at stopping this, and sometimes i feel like my heart and soul and brain have been broken by all of this evil. it's hard to know what to do in this moment. please pray for his family and be encouraged by the sacrifice he made. well, definitely that shows lot how much support the extreme act of protest by aaron bushnel was received by many, not only in the east where we, the natives have a struggle against colonizers represented by the zinas israelis, but also in the west, where they're in australia. the us or uh uh for example europe for that matter and people are seeing beyond what uh the mainstream media usually tries to portray as uh being a nonsensical, not facts, fake news or even mental ill people, but i want to thank you very much uh for telling us uh the reacts of people on social media whether on x or on uh facebook uh sma, it's always a pleasure

having you uh on board uh with us, now ladies and gents we move to figures expos. now half the people who responded to national poll conducted by the university of massachusetts emirist in february believed that the zionist israeli entity is committing genocide against the palestinian people living in gaza according to the recently released poll results. now the pool which used a sample of 1064 us adults was split exactly in half on the question is the israeli entity committing genocide against the palestinian people living in gaza. 50% said zinast israel was probably or definitely committing genocide, and 50% said zinanis israel was probably or definitely not committing genocide. here is the full breakdown according to the poll: 18% believe zinus israel is definitely committing genocide. 32% believe zinus israel is

probably committing genocide, and 24% believes zinast israel is probably not committing genocide, and 26% person believes zinast israel is definitely not committing genocide. now respondents also answered a question on their support for zinast israel's military operation in gaza since october 7 and about the 10 billion us dollars in military aid to zionist israel in support of their war on palestinians. now a plurality of respondents supported the israeli entities military operation with 43% in support, 26% opposing and 32%. said neither, but respondents were more evenly divided on the question of us aid, where 36% supported the aid to sign as israel and 35% opposed the aid with 29% undecided. now let us move to the most notable exe voices for this week. now as

the world graples with bischnel's self-emolation, many took to social media to post their thoughts, many who support palestinians described him as a hero and pay tribute to him celebrating his act of extreme form of protest for its impact, primarily raising awareness for the palestinian's plight and genocide. our first voice for tonight comes from instagram with hasanain jaffer who said he hoped to find more words to do aaron justice. here is hasanain's voice. one of the last things aaron bushnel said before he started the fire was that he didn't consider his action to be extreme because because this is what our ruling classes have decided will be normal. this is really profound framing. he really understood the idea that racial capitalism relies on us accepting their narrative as the normal. somehow it's normal to witness an entire population of people being displaced and starving, whilst our response should be sitting in our fancy government chambers and deciding that ex-politician is worth voting

for because they called for a temporary cease fire or a humanitarian cause in the fighting. "there is normal anymore, the ruling class desperately want us to return to their version of normal so that we can continue participating and fueling their system and remain too exhaustive to continue questioning their narrative. an abnormal world requires abnormal responses, an extreme world requires extreme responses. you can disagree with self-imilation as a form of protest, but you have to be consistent. the media was all over this when it was happening during the arab spring. you cannot..." disagree with the effectiveness, the selflessness of this sort of response, because what we are responding to is a white phosphorus burning the skin off of children playing with kites. as aron reminded us with his final words, free palestine. now many social media users were furious at the western and zianist media for labeling aron as a mentally ill individual,

instead of focusing on the reason he chose this form of extreme protest through self-emolation. blake lee bartley on tiktok refused to accept the smearing campaign and replies by saying that maybe it's you who is mentally ill. here is blake lee's voice from tiktok. to all the people that are smearing aaron bushnell and saying that he was mentally ill, maybe it's you, maybe it's the fact that you've become so disconnected from your own humanity that you can continue to watch a live stream genocide for four months and feel nothing. people are already digging into his background trying to find any way they can to smear him. there is no evidence that he was mentally ill, but even if he was, calling him mentally ill because he decided to engage an extreme form of protest as our government ignores us while they enable a genocide, tells me that you know nothing about mental illness. he knew exactly what he was doing. he wrote a will in which he said he wanted the remainder of his money to go to the palestinian children's bond. he said that he wanted his neighbor to keep his cat. if

any of you saw the video, he was extremely calm and very clear about what he was doing as he was doing it. you're trying to smear him in death because it's easier than having to ask yourself what would drive a 25-year-old to do such an extreme action. now since aaron bishne was an active duty member the us air force, some us servicemen like tictocker at big bearded chief were sad to see one of their own self-emulate to support cause, but tik talkers like reed adil replied to them in a very rational way. let us hear ried's voice. it's just sad that anyone feels they have to do that. you're absolutely right. it's sad that acted beauty us air force member had to self-emulate in order to... on our attention and sympathy for the palestinian cause because the us government continues to ignore our cause for a ceace fire now. aaron bushnel did not commit

suicide, aaron bushnel committed an act of extreme protest. he did not have a mental illness, he was clear in his intention, and it is completely inappropriate for you in the media to spend story of mental illness. when aaron bush now does not have a history. that nor you are deflecting rest and power. now ladies and gents, with that we conclude our expose for tonight right here on press tv. follow our handle at exposeptv on x, instagram, youtube and tiktok. stay tuned for more eye-opening investigations on expose, the truth is just the revelation away.

information about palestine abounds on social networks, many times without context. they do not allow us to go deeper and understand all the dimensions of a catastrophe that is dragging on for centuries. daniel hardway, chilean mayor of palestinian origin, opens a window to palestine to understand in depth the present cause of the palestinian people, exploring its history and future. the prospects, do not miss a window to palestine.

the united states, i think he has this right, israel is kind of permanent, permanently anchored aircraft carrier and his purposes to ensure that us foreign policies in the in the middle east are carried out, fall uh in the palestinian economic activity of something like uh 80%.

you're pressing the headlines death of us is really genocide and gaza is nearing 31. thous people, several palestinians have lost their lives after being hit by eight packages air dropped by the us, and this zomic resistance says it's targeted his really intelligence based in the occupied goal and heights.
