133

On February 25, 2024, outside the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C., a tragic event unfolded as Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old U.S. Air Force member stationed in San Antonio, set himself on fire while shouting “free Palestine.” This shocking act of self-immolation drew attention to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict and sparked discussions about activism. Bushnell, who had a presence on the streaming platform Twitch, had posted a link to a live stream before the incident, where he expressed his intentions and beliefs.

In his Twitch stream, Bushnell, dressed in military uniform, identified himself as an active-duty member of the Air Force. He voiced his opposition to the perceived injustices faced by Palestinians and declared his protest against what he saw as genocide. Prior to his act, Bushnell had reached out to various news outlets and left-wing organizations, including the Atlanta Community Press Collective, to express his intentions. Despite the risks involved, he was determined to use his actions to draw attention to the plight of the Palestinian people.
