BOSTON – Matt Nelson, the man who self immolated outside Israel’s consulate in Boston, United States has passed.

Matt Nelson, who was pained by the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza following the genocidal war in Gaza decided to self immolate to draw attention of the world to what is happening and the refusal of the United States and its allies to call Israel to Order.

The United States, the major ally of Israel had blocked all resolutions in the United Nations Security Council, UNSC to put a halt to the ongoing annihilation of the Palestinians.

The US has continued to arm Israel to the detriment of the population. Not even the protest in Washington, Israel and across the globe has forced the President Joe Biden and his administration to change mind.

He said the protest was to force America to do the right thing and for the International Criminal Court, ICC to issue warrant of arrest on Benjamin Netanyahu.

He charged Americans who want a free Palestinian State to call their lawmakers to make legislation that would help to achieve a free Palestinian State.

He said democracy should serve and listen to the people and not the other way round# Free Palestine.
