A US Air Force soldier is in critical condition after he set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday. He live streamed the self-immolation action on Twitch where he captured himself standing outside the gates of the Israeli embassy and identifying himself as a member of the US Air Force.

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!”

    The pigs shouting "ON THE GROUND" to a person who is actively burning to death have got to be the finest example of cop brain. Everything's a threat.

    I kind of wish this troop would have done something like sabotage or leaked Intel like Chelsea Manning, but I'm also not gonna deny the bravery involved. Free Palestine. Death to America.
