So instead of possibly doing something to directly help Palestinians that might be misunderstood after his death, he sets himself on fire? Because optics? No way anyone could ever misunderstand that 🙄
It accomplishes nothing at all. Makes no sense to do it over actual direct action if you plan to die anyway.
He would then be reported on as a terrorist, kinda undermining the whole optics.

His goal was to die. Any benefit to the Palestinians was secondary, or more likely, an ad-hoc excuse.
