EXCERPT

An active-duty member U.S. airman is dead after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. The self-immolation was a protest against Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has been occurring since October.

Aaron Bushnell was a 25-year-old soldier in the United States Air Force. Before the action he uploaded a video to Twitch explaining his motivation. A censored version of the stream was uploaded to Twitter by journalist Talia Jane.

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” says Bushnell in the video. “I am 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. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
