The airman, who filmed the incident and could be heard yelling “Free Palestine,” was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after collapsing to the ground.
The U.S. Air Force member who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., in an apparent protest against the Israel-Hamas war has died, according to a U.S. official.
Next of kin notification is continuing, so the Air Force won’t release his name until 24 hours after the final notification is complete.
The District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Service Department responded to a call about a person on fire outside the embassy just before 1 p.m. Sunday, and found the flames extinguished by the Secret Service’s uniformed division.
Ignoring empathy, the fuck is one dude killing himself supposed to achieve?
Change the mind of the ultra wealthy influencing the decisions whether or not the US involves itself? They don’t give a fuck if some random military dude dies. It’s what they want. War makes a lot of people a lot of money.
The goal is to create public discourse around the topic would be my understanding. Again. You are hating on him for picking an avenue and doing it. What have you done other than argue against his actions?
Not killed myself, that’s for sure lol.
Also. One does not simply ignore empathy. That would make you a sociopath so thinking in that mindset is insane to me.
