Hamas praised the act and expressed "heartfelt condolences" to the friends and family of Bushnell, announcing in a statement to Telegram that "he immortalised his name as a defender of human values and the oppression of the suffering Palestinian people because of the American administration and its unjust policies" while describing him as a "heroic pilot."

Tragic, he traded his life and his allegiance for some posthumous praise by Hamas. 3rd degree burns are not a good way to go.

He traded his life to protest genocide of a people by their colonizers.

Don’t worry, someday your body will fight off the brainworms and you will see we were the bad guys all along.
