Aaron Bushnell, a United States Air Force active-duty member, has set himself on fire outside the “Israeli” embassy in Washington, DC in protest of the ongoing Israeli Occupation aggression against Gaza and the ongoing genocide.

Bushnell identified himself with his name in the video, then shouted “I will no longer be complicit in genocide.” Bushnell then poured a clear liquid and ignited himself while repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine” while burning.

“I can confirm an active duty Airman was involved in today’s incident,” a US Air Force Spokesperson told CNN.

Bushnell was transported to a local hospital where he was in critical condition, he later succumbed to his wounds per Journalist Talia Jane.

The Israeli Occupation embassy in Washington state that none of its staff were injured in the incident.
