On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. Immediately before the act, which was live-streamed on Twitch, Bushnell said that he was protesting against “what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers” and declared that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide”, after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire.
It’s very tragic that he took his own life. By staying alive, he had the potential to turn his life around and do a lot of good around him. This act should really be discouraged. He shouldn’t have ruined himself, and on top of that given the Zionist scum something to gloat over.
