On Monday morning, a man dressed in a U.S. Air Force uniform stood in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., said he would “no longer be complicit in genocide,” lit himself on fire, and died.

The suicide was filmed for the world to see, and the deceased man, Aaron Bushnell, was promptly hailed as a hero and as a martyr by the far Left and pro-Palestinian factions who claimed the suicide was a selfless act that would help turn the tide of public support for Israel in the Gaza war in favor of the Palestinians.
