“I Will No Longer Be Complicit in Genocide” – Aaron Bushnell.

On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C.

Immediately before the act, which was live-streamed on Twitch, Bushnell said that he was protesting against “what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers” and declared that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire.
