tonight on expose, western media inactly described the reason behind aaron bushnell's actions as a protest on the israeli hamas war, despite him stating it was to protest the genocide of palestinians at the hands of the designist entity. now the new york times is embroiled. in controversy over a discredited article claiming hamas sexually assaulted a zianist 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.

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 entity embassy the day before in washington dc in protest of the. israi genocide on palestinians and the complicity of his government in the zianist genocide. bishnel's final words were free palestine. in a video recorded on his way to the embassy, bushnel 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 of hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. this is what our ruling class has decided will be. normal explained in the

video he streamed before he set himself on fire. let us see what mr. fad itayam, our broadcast expert and writer at the cradle has about this issue in fake news expose. aaron bishnel, a name that will go down in history as a man who opted to sacrifice his own life to protest his country's involvement in genocide against the palestinian people. however, as expected, western and zianist 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, fuad. 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 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 widged against them, uh, 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, inaccuracy and even disrespect, airing the suicide hotline, 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 more has died, that identification made by metropolitan police here, which now... 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 and 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 let's focus on that aspect and take a look. well, let's see what cnn had to say about that. authorities identified aaron bushnill as person who on sunday set himself on fire.

the 25-year-old was an active duty member of the u.s. air force. cnn's gabe cohen joins us now with the details and and gabe, this is something that he did 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 mention, he's san antonio, texas, and he live streamed his 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 bushnel walking up to the embassy. on the street in his military fatigues, he's 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 a... 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 call, that is when officers, you can see them race in, one of them with fire extinguisher in their hands trying to put out the flames, but it takes time, and as we have learned uh buchinel 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-imilated uh lit themselves on fire outside of 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, fuad, i mean that is

refreshing despite the fact that it's a very painful incident, but 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 msnbc 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 very, very advanced position if i may, thank you very much for your analysis in fake news. 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, marva, so to the extent that mainstream media does... actually covered the genocide in against the palestinian people in ghazza. major outlets like the new york times or the washington post have uh published a content that's obviously skewed towards the sionist entity uh 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 engulfing the new york times uh marwa which is now exposed uh one of the co-authors of a discredited piece that accused the palestinian resistance. since hamas of rape on october 7th al uxa flood operation as uh being a former member of the iof's intelligence unit and had not even worked as a journalist at all prior to taking a central role in the new york times coverage of october 7th uh so we've covered a story an earlier expose segment uh but this time it's been revealed

that annett schwarz the co-author of 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, um, as we remember, the article made false claims of sexual violence by hamas on october 7th, uh, this is a regular tactic employed by the palestinian resistance group as a weapon of war, so the family of a soldier who was allegedly attacked by hamas on that particular day uh according to this uh piece and was portrayed as key character in the story about rape. gal abdush was furious and actually condemned 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 uh 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 uh, 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 bushnel's self-amilation and in uh support of the palestinian people, we have a piece. by the washington post entitled aaron bushno was not a hero, self-imilation is not an active political protest we should

celebrate. in this piece, ramesh puneru, a contributing columnist to the washington post, was animate on showing his discontentment that bushnel's active protest has earned him some post-mordern praise with activists calling him a hero and calling his self emilation a wake-up call. so he was especially frustrated that the jewish voice for peace honored bushnel by calling his self-emulation 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 buschnell's courage, and it also 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 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 zionist entity, and rather the coverage shifted to why people should not continue, considers act as protest but as suicide. which is definitely tells you lot about the people who support... uh 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 thank you very much miss julia qasim for telling us the latest about the digital mainstream media, especially about the hero, aron buschnel, now ladies and gents we move to social media expose. whether or not you agree with aaron bushnell? 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 sem 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 attempted 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 bushnel. wow, so they got it, they got it good and they got it early that asmering campaign is uh being basically pushed by the uh regime in the us and ziness israel. and this further exposed us media in its bias and in its silence. so we have another post on x by danny hifong at spirit of hoe 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 horrific the way that they are trying to portray him as mentally ill. yeah or just on. because they they can't even make it case that he's mentally ill, 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 faad mentioned earlier, cnn handled the news of this extreme active protest surprisingly in a more truthful and professional way than we actually expected this time. so there's a post on x by caitlyn johnstone who quote tweeted a video of cnn coverage of buschnell's active protest saying, he did it, aron 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 bestselling author of make change, he's also co-founder of grassroots law, uh, and he

happens to have follower base of 2.5 million, so he posted a photo of bushno." and wrote aaron bushnell, 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 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 bushnell 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 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 the 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 sema, it's always a pleasure having you uh on board uh with us. now ladies and gents we move to figures expose now. half the people who responded to national poll conducted by the university of massachusetts emirist in february believe that the zionist israeli entity is committing genocide against the palestinian people living in gaza according to the recently released pull results. now the poll 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 sinus israel was probably ' or definitely committing genocide, and 50% said zianist 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% believes zinus israel is probably committing genocide, and 24% believes israel is probably not committing genocide, and 26% believes inus israel is definitely not committing genocide. now respondents also answer. a question on their support for zionist israel's military operation in gaza since october 7 and about the 10 billion us dollars in military aid to zianist israel in support of their war on palestinians. now a plurality of respondent 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 zinus israel and 35% opposed the aid with 29% undecided. now let us move to the most notable expose voices for this week. now as the world graples with bishnel's self emilation, 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 palestinians 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 this is what our ruling classes have decided will be normal. this is really profound praming he real 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 exhausted to continue questioning their narrative. an abnormal world requires abnormal normal 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 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 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 shows this form of extreme protest through self-emolation. blake lee bartley on tik tok 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 fund, he said that he wanted his neighbor to keep his cash. 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 serviceman like tiktocker at big bearded chief were sad to see one of their own self. mulate to support cause, but tik tokers like ried adil replied to them in a very rational way. let us hear reid's voice. it's just sad that anyone feels

they have to do that. you're absolutely right. it's sad that an active us air force member had to self-emulate in order to got our attention and sympathy for the palestinian cause. because the us. government continues to ignore our calls for a cease 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 inappropriate for you in the media to spend story of mental illness. when aaron bushnow does not have the history of that, nor you are deflecting rest in power. now ladies and gents, with that we conclude our expose for tonight right here on press tv. follow our handle at expose ptv on x, instagram, youtube and tiktok. stay tuned for

more eye opening investigations on expose. the truth is just the revelation away. وماكنه القتل والعدوان على شعبنا يجب ان تتوقف. let me start with the us economy. um, we have very strong outlook, the u.s. for the united states, and 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 in the... economic activity of something like 80%. in late 2023, south africa filed case at the international court of justice (icj) over the israeli apart regime's genocidal war against palestinians in the besieg gaza strip. south africa stated that the televive regime has failed to... uphold its commitments under the 1948 genocide convention. south africa filed the lawsit against the israeli regime at the end of december, noting that israel's actions in gaza that sited last october are

genocideling character. because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the palestinian national, racial and ethnic group. we have a special guest to discuss the topic today. he's none other than south african ambassador to iran, his excellency dr. francis molloy. thank you, mr. ambassador for your time today. thank you very much for inviting me, mubarak. it's a pleasure to be here. 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 hodway,

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 prospects. do not miss a window to palestine.

your headlines on pressv, hamas blames israel for the failure to reach a gaza ceasefire deal, saying it will not settle for anything less than a full sessation of israely aggression. palestinian resistance fighters carry out. more retalitory operations against israeli forces in gaza, inflicting losses and casualties on them. and the leader of yemen's ansur allah movement says the yemeni army will continue with anti-israel operations in support of the palestinians in gaza.
