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.

Are the daily shoah guys kissing this spergs ass or making fun of him?

Are you talking about The Daily Wire? Because most news channels are not talking about this guy outside of quick mentions.

Root beer, show tunes and cats. Yeah this dude was a faggot mere days away from trooning out.

25 years old and that's all he had. I've said before on here that I'm expecting an uptick in suicides as a bunch of young men and women, brains rotted out by politics, realize that all they have done with their lives is rage online and have a crisis because of it. I wonder if anyone will follow this dipshit's example in the coming months and try and make a spectacle of their suicide.

I’m surprised how many of these there are and how few I remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_self-immolations

Ive thought about doing this

Get in line, fucker

Self-immolation as a form of protest against countries like Israel and China is pointless at best, and disadvantageous at worst. Dictatorial countries such as Israel and China ultimately do not care about their opposition burning themselves alive for them, in fact, it benefits them because it makes their opposition look insane.
It was different in southern Vietnam because Diem's government ultimately could not contort the self-immolation of Quảng Đức and other Buddhist priests into propaganda because Diem was very unpopular both in southern Vietnam and on the world stage while Israel and China still hold massive support.
Aaron Bushnell's death was damaging for the Palestinian cause, he just gave israel and their supporters a big, beautiful piece of propaganda that they can spread everywhere.

Calling it now, there's going to be a string of suicides, attempted or successful, from crazy Zoomers who want to be immortalized.

Most of those are from non US countries, and some of the US ones were done for non-political reasons. This guy filmed himself explicitly stating why he did it, unlike a lot of those other ones who just sent in a letter to a news station or family member.

If I remember right the photo and video are recreations. The actual monk was drugged up off his balls and two of the other monks who helped him admitted that. The actual movement the monks were apart of is a Buddhist sect that’s heavily repressed in Vietnam and had nothing to do with North or South Vietnam other than the Buddhist’s being pissy that Catholics in South Vietnam wanted rights.

Dictatorial countries such as Israel

I know people on this board are weird about Jews but Isreal is an actual democracy.

Not much to remember. There's probably no life wasted more than one that self immolates over a political issue. Killing, dying and suicide over politics makes sense if you are properly invested in it as in you're a politician and that IS your life. Some literally who peon committing suicide in a completely unrelated country (well technically speaking, I mean Israel is using American gear and finances etc) is probably the least memorable thing on the planet.

As democratic as Turkey or Russia lol

Ackshually he just followed what made the American force the most feared military of WW2.

Putin: What the hell, this one American burned himself alive for Hamas. And they turn themselves into eunuchs for their own enjoyment. Imagine what these psychos would do to us!

Ultimately I feel sorry for his family that troon political sperging led to their son dying a pretty horrible death, here are some pictures I found of him on a Google Photos album:

That makes me feel sad. I guess the other person in the 2nd photo and a lot of the others is his brother. I wonder how he's feeling just now. He looks like he had a good life, loving friends, family but threw it all away over subhumans on both sides who hate him. Is it severe mental illness? Why do Americans do this? This severe self flagellation? It genuinely hurts to watch.

So a Britbong?

probably anywhere in the anglosphere to be fair

Well given his Reddit history, I think we can all agree with the following...

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Going through his reddit account and this shit is hilarious, he got upset because he wasn't coddled and actually had to salute his superior officers instead of the officers recognizing their common humanity. He describes this as a humiliation ritual.

View attachment 5761404

The dude was a huge fag - he uses "them" instead of "him" or "her", but he's right about the pettiness of an officer making an enlisted man put down whatever he's carrying just to force a salute (if that is indeed what happened). That's some Frank Burns shit, right there.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

Something to keep in mind there will be no articles written on how this young autistic man was completely and utterly radicalized by online leftists. There will be no Rolling Stone "HOW THE ONLINE LEFT PUSHED A MAN TO SELF IMMOLATE" or anything of the sort. The media is entirely fixated on right-wing radicalization because the other way doesn't fix the narrative. We have dozens if not hundreds of examples of young men being pushed to acts of violence like this and no one but maybe Breitbart and the Postmillennial will touch it.

 

[Snekposter]

Ah, so that explains why Netanyahu is barely hanging on to power by the skin of his teeth against the Israeli deepstate.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Here lies Cuckboy, a man so soy he killed himself for reddit upvotes from troons and propaganda bots. He died as he lived, complaining about the west when every other country would have murdered him for being insanely gay.

Rest in piss, may you enter the afterlife posting about poly relationships and wanting bipocs to like you forever more. Enjoy you goon machine and Elden ring breaks in the netherworld, faggot.

Lol, literal lmao.

 

[babaGAReeb]

it is rather disturbing seeing all these ppl suicide with fire

self immolation is too mainstream, why dont people try killing themselves with ice?
