I’d like to point out that according to what’s reported, they’re trying to frame it as a “mental health” episode, where it appears it is not. The Airman was sending a clear message of support for Palestine, and I imagine, demonstrating a complete disgust with Israel and his leadership in continuing to fuel a genocide.

I sincerely doubt US officials or the military cares, and they’re going to double down on the individual’s “mental health” as being the culprit and source of problems rather than the infinite harms this genocide has on Palestine and those around the world with sight and soul.
