all the news articles articles aren't admitting that he was protesting the genocide in gaza.

One I read quickly mentioned him then pivoted to talking about environmentalist protesters who have self immolated in the past for over half the article. Others mention no motive at all and are just a couple sentences. One said "it's unclear if this is related to Israel's military action in Gaza".

Goddamn I hate "journalists". Lying hacks who take clear and easy to understand events and twist them into nothingness
