US Man in uniform sets himself on fire at gates to D.C.’s Israeli Embassy - Man in uniform unhappy with Jews

The Israeli Embassy in D.C., in 2016.

A man is in critical condition after setting himself on fire midday Sunday outside the Israeli Embassy in D.C., authorities said.

No one else was injured in the incident, which took place just before 1 p.m. in the 3500 block of International Drive NW. A video shared online, which multiple officials said appeared to be posted by the man, shows him shouting “Free Palestine” as he burned.

The man said he was an active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force. A spokeswoman for the Air Force, Ann Stefanek, said they had not yet identified the man or verified whether he is in the service.

Since the Israel-Gaza war began just over four months ago, at least 29,629 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack and says 240 soldiers have been killed since the start of its military operation in Gaza.

Hamas and allied fighters took more than 253 people hostage during the attack. More than 100 were freed in exchange for more than 200 Palestinian detainees during a November pause in fighting. Israeli authorities believe that more than 100 hostages remain in Gaza.

On Sunday, uniformed Secret Service officers responded to a report of a person experiencing a possible medical or mental health emergency, said Joe Routh, a U.S. Secret Service spokesman.

Responding officers put out the fire before D.C. firefighters arrived, around 1 p.m., fire department spokesman Vito Maggiolo said. The D.C. Fire and Emergency Services department then took the man to a hospital in life-threatening condition. He remained hospitalized Sunday afternoon.

In the video, which is just over three minutes long, one person can be heard saying, “Hi, sir, can I help you?” as the man approaches the gate to the embassy.

About 12 seconds later, as a person again asks, “Can I help you, sir,” the man lights the fire.

The man burned for about a minute and collapsed on the ground, the video showed, before law enforcement began to extinguish the fire.

Hamas literally posted videos of them murdering people on telegram and they're all over the Internet but somehow the Israelis are responsible for the Israeli deaths. Hilarious how even the "based" American right wing tries to absolve brown people of any wrongdoing

Wow fancy seeing you in yet another thread talking about how bad Hamas is and how Israel dindu nuffin

Its like youre compelled to participate in them and argue.

Can’t believe I was late to this thread, was thinking about this all day.
Airman who is now dead, you weren’t complicit in shit. You weren’t even an actual fucking plane driver.
You can the Marines dumb zog-golems dying for israel. But atleast they can take the enemy out with them rather than just killing yourself because Miku said free poutine on Twitter.

If you knew the kind of "software" you develop in the military, you can absolutely be complicit in it.

PL: I once passed on a very well paying software job with a company that contracts to the US military and gov agencies because near the end of the pipeline they make you sign an NDA so they can show you the product demos of what they're actually doing, and it disgusted me deeply.

I was here laughing at the retard who burned himself before you were here.

I never said hamas didn't kill people, just that israeli soldiers sperged the fuck out and also killed a bunch of their own people.

That's true but a lot of people use isolated incidents as an entry point for denialism.

 

[Damocles_Sword]

I don't think you understand how much of a zealot this guy truly was. It takes quite a bit of conviction to not freak the fuck out and keep shouting your slogan while burning like that. You literally have to be either a decades practicing monk or a true religious zealot to override that PRIMAL instinct.

Also a service member posting a screed about not dying for israel before doing this would be powerful for any other previous generation. I doubt that part will make the news.

 

[Rei is Shit.]

Yeah turns out when you remove all context from two different scenarios they're actually the same

I know you have some (deliberate) difficulty understanding things, so I'll spell it out for you;

I have no idea if this guys death will amount to anything but history shows that it can amount to something. Those rushing headlong into "lol this doesn't matter" kind of cope are broadcasting their hopes rather than doing any critical thinking about it.

OPTICS WAR is fun, isn't it?

Based on his voice, he died as he lived: a huge flamer.

you died in the most painful way known to man for no reason you fat retard.

Neither side gave a shit about you

I'll bet this moron was rock fucking hard as he burned to death.

Becoming a martyr for the sake of infinity niggers and homosexuality is like millennial sainthood.

this kind of insane zealotry is hard to hide and aaron clearly wasn't filtered out of the military for it and even became an officer + worked on devops

the more you think about it the more terrifying the implications are

The people who've spent the past few years laughing at Eyepatch McCain are suddenly extremely concerned about respecting the troops.

Extreme faggot though he may have been, he showed quite a bit of conviction still shouting his slogan while burning. It's the kind of thing that inspires people, for good or worse. That's why theres been so many negative meme threads about the guy, the IDF CAN'T allow a martyr. A self immolation can very easily inspire more outwardly self destructive copycat or just a strong enough message like that CAN sway opinion, even make people at least snap out of a blind stupor and start noticing.

He is going to cost the military big money still. Treatment is going to be on the military dime. He probably won't die quickly, if at all, so he's getting paid. Maybe no life insurance pay-out, but even that's not a sure thing.

But yes, odds are he was not a lot of fun to work with, and his teammates won't have to deal with him now. And they'll get a LOT of good jokes out of it.

Since the injuries weren't sustained in the line of duty, but self-inflicted, the military may not pay a dime for his medical costs. A line-of-duty determination is likely to be made; there's latitude but this is off the continuum. He may also face charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He will still get pay and allowances, can't say about life insurance.

Just a reminder, these people cut their dicks off because the voices in their head tell them they're women, so setting themselves on fire isn't that far off.

Being certifiably mental does not make one a martyr.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Not really. A lot of people are starting to care about Israel less and less. I would say anti-Israel makes it sound a bit too extreme. Most people don't want Israel destroyed they just don't give a shit and are tired of funding it and fighting Jew wars. I can settle for that. Without US support Israel won't last long anyway. 25% of Israel's GDP is foreign aid from the US.

By the same token these same people are sick of the fucking Palestinians never ending bullshit, and just want them gone from any and every conversation. Somebody elses Circus, somebody elses monkeys. Fuck them all. We have given them every benefit and opportunity to work things out. They go back to screeching and flinging rocks and poop. It's not genocide when they do it to themselves for a century.

It's fairly obvious that the top brass aren't playing the same game as everyone else anymore. That pup play full-bird colonel that posted fetish pics in uniform wasn't likely the originator of the practice in officer culture. The united states is in deep trouble.

If you knew the kind of "software" you develop in the military, you can absolutely be complicit in it.

Coincidentally (doubt), Oracle is also the company that "Chinese Spy App" Tik-Tok, was forced to host their servers with via political maneuvering.

Police … were sitting on mounds of data collected through invasive means: financial records, travel information, vehicle registrations, social media, and surveillance camera footage. … They needed sophisticated analytic software. Enter American business computing giant Oracle.
…
So explained a China-based Oracle engineer at a developer conference. … One slide shows Oracle software enabling Liaoning police to create network graphs based on hotel registrations … and “identify potential suspects” — which in China often means dissidents. … Oracle also boasted that its data security services were used by … police in Xinjiang, the site of a genocide against Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic groups. … Oracle employees also promoted company technology for China’s “Police Cloud,” a big data platform implemented as part of the emerging surveillance state.
…
The documents paint a disturbing picture of a tech company sacrificing its professed values to push its data analytics products in China, where the most formidable collector of data is the Chinese government. … In addition to human rights concerns, the documents point to profound national security questions: One of the military-oriented presentations cites Oracle’s U.S. defense work in an apparent effort to win Chinese cloud computing contracts.
…
Oracle spokesperson Jessica Moore said the materials … were “aspirational business development ideas.” … The company is not selling data analytics software “for any of the end uses implied in the materials,” she said. “Such activities would be considered inconsistent with Oracle’s core Corporate Citizenship Values.” … She stated further that Oracle [ensures] its exports comply with trade restrictions. … “Any such transactions would have to be in full compliance with U.S. and applicable export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations.”

American platform Oracle and intel agencies, are totally not doing exactly what the politicians claimed Tik-Tok was doing. Nothing to see here.

Still more based than the classic Jew loving cuck Amerifat that largely and perpetually dominates the political right wing in America which also represents the not so based majority of conservative Americans with their circumsized cocks in honor of greatest ally.
