Authorities said the man, with serious burn injuries and under critical condition, is being treated at the hospital
A man is in a critical condition after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, authorities said on Sunday.
The Metropolitan police department said it responded to an incident on International Drive around 1pm to assist the Secret Service. Fire and emergency services said the man had serious burn injuries.
“An adult male was transported by DC Fire and EMS [Emergency Medical Services] to a local hospital where they remain in critical condition,” the police department said on Twitter/X.
A video posted online which showed a man in a uniform shouting “Free Palestine” as he burned and also identified himself as an active US Air Force member, appeared to be the man in the incident, according to multiple officials, the Washington Post reported. An Air Force spokesperson told the Post they had not identified the man, who was reportedly on fire for about a minute before law enforcement put it out.

Just saw the video it is painful to watch. Also various source confirmed that he is no more.
That mfer with the gun until the end - bro - are you serious right now?
Yeah that stupid fucking cop probably would shoot a Bic if you waved it at him
Also various source confirmed that he is no more.
Thank all the Gods. I can’t imagine self-immolating for a cause, only to be extinguished.
If you ever do such a thing, use a boating flare to ignite and tape it to your hand so you cant drop it.
Fire extinguishers can put out a gas fire fairly easily and it wont reignite, but a burning flare won’t be easily extinguished so you should keep reigniting from the residual gas once the fire extinguishers run out.
I probably would find it concerning as to why you know this, but the information is appreciated—even though it’s going to go unused.
Never say never!
They’re from the future. Tell us what happens.
Thank you for that tip! I’ll scratch out my Tesla battery idea, this seems much cheaper than that, and much easier ignition than my nanothermite FireSuit™ idea. Much easier to obtain raw components from AliExpress as well.
It’s painful to watch because it’s been censored by pussy footing media
This is very troubling.
Where can we see this video?
Here TW

Thank you for sharing.
There’s no excuse for this not to be on every news site reporting about it.

I wonder of this will give those psychopaths reason to pause, or at least can them out do their supporters stop and think…
I have my doubts - IDF will just be thinking ‘one down, lots more to go!’
It won’t. They will only respond to force.
That’s how abusers work.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man is in a critical condition after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, authorities said on Sunday.
“An adult male was transported by DC Fire and EMS [Emergency Medical Services] to a local hospital where they remain in critical condition,” the police department said on Twitter/X.
An Air Force spokesperson told the Post they had not identified the man, who was reportedly on fire for about a minute before law enforcement put it out.
The police said an explosive ordinance disposal unit had also been called to the scene in relation to a suspicious vehicle that may be linked to the individual.
The embassy has been the focus of protests by pro-Palestinian demonstrators calling for a ceasefire to the Israeli military offensive in Gaza with the death toll likely to pass 30,000 this week.
In a separate incident in December last year in Atlanta outside an Israeli consulate office, a protester set themselves on fire.
