The passing of Aaron Bushnell
In front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Bushnell set himself on fire.In a video he uploaded before to his death, Bushnell gave an explanation of his motivations for carrying out his plan. “My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active-duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” he said. “I’m about to carry out an extreme act of protest, but it’s not at all severe in comparison to what people in Palestine have been going through at the hands of their colonizers. This is what the people in power have determined would be typical.

The footage of the fatal occurrence that Bushnell live aired on Twitch was subsequently removed. According to reports, the video showed him approaching the Israeli embassy and dousing himself with liquid. Then, as he continued to yell “Free Palestine,” he lit himself on fire.

The Texas native, 25, was from San Antonio. According to the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, he passed away on Sunday, February 25.
