The cry of the American people against the commander of the air force of this country
In response to the Pentagon's silence about the American pilot's sacrifice for Palestine, the demonstrators shouted at the commander of the American Air Force and protested to him. |
Demonstrators interrupted US Air Force Chief David Alvin several times during an event at the Brookings Institution, shouting “Say his name” and “Cease fire now”.
According to Al-Quds al-Arabi report, the White House and the Pentagon remained largely silent about the self-immolation of American pilot Aaron Bushnell (25 years old) in protest of the bloody war of the Zionist regime in Gaza. About this American pilot, they were satisfied only with an incident near the Zionist embassy.
Alvin, the top military official handling the situation so far, said the Air Force is investigating the tragedy.
Aaron Bushnell, 25, of Whitman, Mass., a cyber defense operations specialist, died Sunday evening after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington earlier that day. Before self-immolation, he announced that he was no longer a participant in the genocide, and in the moments after the fire, he repeatedly chanted the slogan “Free Palestine”.
However, the commander of the US Air Force said in this regard: Any suicide, whether it is due to political protest or flexibility issues or wherever it may be, is a tragedy. There is a standard investigative process that must be followed and we look at it to make sure that everything is done without infringing on personal privacy.
The continued support of the United States to the Zionist regime has angered the American demonstrators, who announced that the United States is complicit in the devastating air and ground operations in the Gaza Strip that have killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
However, Alvin did not directly respond to the protesters. When Alvin was asked about Bushnell’s death, the US Air Force chief turned it into an issue of suicide in the US military.
He said: We have about 100 or more suicides a year, and every year we try to figure out how we can reduce it. It’s just one of our soldiers that we lost and we’re taking care of his family and we’re looking at the unit and really trying to figure out if there’s any context behind this, what lessons can be learned.
Asked on Monday if Bushnell’s actions indicated a deeper issue that members of the US military are concerned about how the Zionist regime is using US weapons against civilians in Gaza, Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said the Biden administration’s claims that Essen reiterated that the regime has the right to defend itself.
