My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

我叫亚伦·布什内尔,我是现役美国空军的一员,我不会继续成为种族灭绝的帮凶。我接下来要采取极端抗议的手段,但与一直饱受殖民者魔掌控制的巴勒斯坦人民相比,这根本算不上极端。这是被统治阶级正当化的事情。

Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.

我们之间都喜欢对自己反问:“如果我生活在奴隶贸易的时代、或者是推行吉姆·克劳法的美国南部、或者是种族隔离的地方,我会做些什么?如果我的国家正在实行种族灭绝我又会做些什么?”答案是,你现在就是这些事情的加害者。

Free Palestine!

自由巴勒斯坦!
