(UNCENSORED) Full Video: US Airman Sets himself on Fire to Protest Israeli/Palestine War outside Embassy (See info)
Duration: 3:11 Views: 169K Submitted: 2 months ago Submitted by:
AN active-duty member of the US Air Force set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC on Sunday afternoon, said police.
The flames were extinguished by officers with the US Secret Service around 1 pm.
Before ignition, the man, who introduced himself as Aaron Bushnell, reportedly said that he could "no longer be complicit in genocide."
He added that what he was about to do was minimal compared to the suffering of Palestinians.
Bushnell reportedly emailed several reporters on Sunday morning that read, "Today, I am planning to engage in an extreme act of protest" regarding the war in Gaza.
As the fire blazed, the man reportedly shouted "Free Palestine."
The man set himself on fire around 1 p.m. ET and both the U.S. Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department responded, the agencies said.
The embassy said in a statement to CBS News that no staff members were injured.
MPD also investigated a "suspicious vehicle" it said may be connected to the man who set himself on fire, but that vehicle was cleared around 4 p.m.
In a video that was live-streamed on Twitch, the man identified himself and said he was an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force confirmed an active duty airman was involved, but did not identify him. Neither USSS nor MPD has identified the man. CBS News has not independently verified his identification.
Prior to setting himself on fire, the man said he would "no longer be complicit in genocide" and that he was "about to engage in an extreme act of protest." After setting himself on fire, he yelled "free Palestine" repeatedly.
The Twitch channel has since been removed, but Talia Jane, an independent reporter who received a link to the video earlier Sunday, archived the video and shared it with CBS News.
This is the second time someone has set themselves on fire outside an Israeli facility in the U.S. since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

«@fewmomentsinlife Cos the guy is obviously plain fucking nuts he just lit himself on fire. And also clearly radicalised against Israel. Not too hard to imagine he might have had a grenade or some IED ready hoping that Israel embassy staff would come out to the commotion. You fucking bet you want a gun kept on this guy at all times, right up til he’s finito, which he wasn’t at this point cos amazingly he survived the burning only dying later in hospital»

«@carl44acq That's what these bullies are trained to do. They can't think logically for themselves!!!! They SEEE this piece of meat in the death throws of muscle tense from their fat burning, and this TWAT draws his gun like he thinks he's gonna get back up, no matter he's looking at his eyelids burned off and he's obviously in shock but no.......they're trained to pull a gun out in case he comes back from hell to scream at him in wincing pain. I swear, these twats..... just look at him. He looks like he himself has been bullied in school, couldn't wait to become a police officer because he "twatched" too many hollywood movies....while he danced around like he was looking for a good clean shot of a piece of burning black fat now naked. What a fuck. I'd have called the bastard on the carpet after that insensitive fucking move.»

Viletree 2 months ago
«@imwondering liberals are the corrosion of society. Their ideology is nonsensical and perverse. They live without the morality and strength that is required to build civilization or even to survive without it but they indulge like animals on the most primitive impulses. I dislike many aspects of many cultures but I see strength in most of them enough that I wouldn't enjoy watching them suffer but I hate liberals. They're the lowest form of human on earth yet they believe that they're morally superior to others. Sometimes I wish for chaos and war to be visited upon this nation so the liberals will be robbed of their ridiculous fantasies and they can learn the purpose of morality and strength while they're struggling for survival. Their ideology is the weakness caused by over domestication and excessive luxury and there's no purpose for them in society.»

«If that dude wants to be a martyr for terrorism, go ahead. Go at it man. He committed suicide. Know that's on him. But anybody who supports the Palestinians, which is they're not really Palestinians, They're Arabic, by the way. Israel belongs to them, always has been since the beginning of time in the Bible, if those that know how to read would know that. The Muslim people want to wipe them off the face of the earth. Not all Muslims, but the radical ones want to kill them dead to the river, to the sea. So I guess if you're on. Stay there we don't want you anywhere.
