as we discuss the circumstances that can lead to acts of protest such as self-immolation, let us not forget that many gazans (such as ehab abu nada and fathi harb) in years past have also self immolated in protest of the israeli blockade on gaza. this has also been a form of protest among palestinians in the occupied west bank as well.
here is a link to an article about ehab abu nada since both links in the first post accidentally lead to the same article about fathi harb, just hosted on different websites.
