As Twitchy readers know, a man in US military fatigues set himself on fire outside of the Israeli embassy in DC on Saturday, reportedly as a way to protest against Israel and their so-called 'genocide' in Palestine.
From The Jerusalem Post:
A man in US military fatigues set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC on Sunday, in protest of what he called a “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza.
The protester was identified on Sunday by the independent journalist Talia Jane as Aaron Bushnell, 25, an active-duty service member of the US Air Force, who, from a public LinkedIn profile, appeared to work in the service’s IT department. Late Sunday night, Jane reported that Bushnell had succumbed to the wounds sustained in the self-immolation.
So basically, what we can only guess was a very mentally ill man to begin with latched on to the anti-Israel rhetoric and took his life as a means of protest.
Horrific.
Truly.
But of course, the pro-Palestine/Hamas activists are celebrating his death - 'Rest in Power' is trending currently on Twitter.
Look at this:
Aaron Bushnell's memory will be honored. His act is extreme like he described it. Yet, it is his noble message that matters. His sacrifice is now part of the sacrifices of the Palestinian people in its struggle for dignity.

Sane people who do not glorify death are less than impressed:
This is what happens when young people are indoctrinated into hating their country & follow extreme liberal ideology of members of Congress like Rashida Tlaib. This young man died for no reason. His 'sacrifice' will change nothing. Suicide does not cure problems. https://t.co/iTuhJJCXud

Awful.
His name will be pitied for a week and then largely forgotten without changing anything. Self immolation to my knowledge has never caused change in national or international policy. It's an innefective gimmick. It is a terrible waste and tragedy.

Terrible waste and a tragedy.
He committed suicide for a people who will go back to bashing White Americans in a week. Now, because of his suicide, any benefits he had from the military, any life insurance, will not be transferred to his family. If you want self-immolation for your cause, your people can do… https://t.co/lncjOoAuBv

Only a death cult celebrates a suicide.

And celebrating they are.

He is the soldier who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
So traumatised by watching genocide as to feel ‘complicit’, pushing him to his ‘extreme act of protest’.
His last words- Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Rest in Peace. pic.twitter.com/wRZyvYzJVH
Ghouls.
I got to give respect to Aaron Bushnell, there's no sacrifice more than this, burning alive is the most painful thing that anyone can ever go through.. Zionists are laughing, the so called friends of the US. Rest In power brother. #AaronBushnell pic.twitter.com/OQFbrCsckL
