Washington, DC, Feb 25, 2024: Just after noon on Sunday, Aaron Bushnell, 25, of San Antonio, Texas says the following while walking down the street and up to the Israeli Embassy in DC:
Hi 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.
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.
Mr. Bushnell arrives at the Israeli Embassy, positions his camera, calmly walks up to the gate, pours some type of flammable liquid from a metal canister over his head, puts his hat on, takes out a lighter and struggles to get it to light, then sets himself ablaze!
While standing in front of Israel’s gate fully engulfed in flames, Aaron screams repeatedly with his last breaths and every ounce of his being:
“FREE PALESTINE! FREE PALESTINE! FREE PALESTINE!”
Then we hear his screams of pain and agony and Aaron goes quiet and drops to the ground.
CAUTION – GRAPHIC CONTENT
RIP AARON BUSHNELL – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE
You can watch on Rumble HERE, and I will be uploading a copy to our servers for safe keeping.
You can see an Israeli embassy agent holding a gun on Aaron while he is lying on the ground on fire. Other first responders were trying to help him and yelled “we need fire extinguishers not guns”.
It was reported that Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated, emailed reporters Sunday morning stating “Today, I am planning to engage in an extreme act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people” and stated that it would be live-streamed on Twitch.
It’s estimated that at least 44 FSM (former service members) die each day in the US by Suicide and Self-Injury Mortality according to the AWP and DOD.
This is what Aaron was protesting – Genocide!

Democracy Now! speaks with Bushnell’s friend and conscientious objector Levi Pierpont, who says his friend’s death was not a suicide but was about using his life to send a message for justice. “We have to honor the message that he left,” says Pierpont, who says Bushnell died “to get people’s attention about the genocide that’s happening in Palestine.”
At 12:58 PM @dcfireems responded to call for person on fire outside the Israeli Embassy. Arrived to find fire extinguished by members of @SecretService Uniformed Division. 1 adult male transported critical life threatening injuries to an area hospital. #DCBravest
It should be noted that another American Pro-Palestine protester set themselves on fire in front of the Israeli Consulate in December of 2023 in an attempt to stop the genocide in Palestine and bring attention to the issue that the main stream media refuses to cover in a fair and balanced manner. In fact, most of the main stream media and our so-called US leaders have been engaged in inciting genocide by repeating, without investigation, Israel’s lies and atrocity propaganda. Read more HERE.

About
Aspiring software engineer with a wide breadth of experience in web development, software engineering, linux system administration, IT administration, and more. I have a talent and a passion for solving complex problems with code. I am looking for SkillBridge programs to transfer my skills into the software engineering career field. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Western Governor’s University, and have taken several supplementary classes in software development outside of college. I have prior experience in web development in the civilian world, and have exercised my knowledge of scripting languages in every IT-related role I have held. I am truly passionate about writing software and can’t wait to help drive innovation in the civilian world. Throughout my time in the military in both leadership and followership roles, as well as prior work experience in a variety of civilian roles, I have thrived in team environments and gained very good communication skills. I have been commended by senior leaders for my ability to explain complex technical matters to them. I can bring many such soft skills to the table in any role.

The term self-immolation broadly refers to acts of altruistic suicide, otherwise the giving up of one’s body in an act of sacrifice.[1] However, it most often refers specifically to autocremation, the act of sacrificing oneself by setting oneself on fire and burning to death.[2] It is typically used for political or religious reasons, often as a form of non-violentprotest or in acts of martyrdom. It has a centuries-long reputation as the most extreme form of protest possible by humankind.[3]

You are welcome! We wanted to make sure that Aaron’s message and sacrifice were documented properly, in his own words and actions.
RIP Aaron Bushnell
Thank you TLB staff for posting Aaron Bushnell’s video without censoring it. So many media outlets, such as the Deep State’s YouTube, have made the video unavailable or only partially available, that the libtards and the Israeli apologists have been claiming that Bushnell’s action is a psyop and not his heartfelt response to Isreal’s criminal genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
