Leah covered this story this morning: a US airman self-immolated in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC on Sunday. Aaron Bushnell, 25, of San Antonio, Texas, livestreamed the event. He was protesting the Israel-Hamas War, which drove him to commit this brutal act. He subsequently died from his injuries last night. His final words were ‘free Palestine’:

According to video of the incident, the airman said he was protesting the Israel-Hamas war.

“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 in video posted on social media.
