US Soldier Sets Himself on Fire outside Israeli Embassy in Washington to Protest Gaza War - News18

A US Air Force soldier is in critical condition after he set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday. He live streamed the self-immolation action on Twitch where he captured himself standing outside the gates of the Israeli embassy and identifying himself as a member of the US Air Force.

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!”

    Maybe this is why I’m not seeing it, it was a few months ago.

    Edit: The link says this was in DC recently though.

      I was investigating the “second time” comment. Yes, the most recent event was in DC. The first event was in Atlanta.
