Aaron Bushnell, 25, an active duty member of the US Air Force, self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC on Sunday after stating that "I will no longer be complicit in genocide."

"I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide," Bushnell said in video he livestreamed on Twitch. "I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all."

Bushnell then doused himself with accelerant and set himself on fire while repeatedly shouting, "Free Palestine!"

Bushnell succumbed to his injuries on Sunday night, Talia Jane reported.

WARNING: CENSORED BUT DISTURBING:

Loved ones of Aaron Bushnell, 25, reached out to me and gave me consent to post a blurred version of Bushnell’s protest today against genocide in Palestine.

“Aaron is the kindest, gentlest, silliest little kid in the Air Force,” said Errico, who met Bushnell in 2022. https://t.co/oQFc5r5XFo pic.twitter.com/wpRKVb8KSW
