Man In Uniform Sets Himself On Fire At Gates To D.C.’s Israeli Embassy by AllenSpencer: 12:00am On Feb 26
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.

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.

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

And you think Gaza citizens or Palestinians in general care what imbeciles like you think?
They don't
And haven't for over 70 years

Israel. The US and EU alongside the United nation make them what they became.

I hope you won't disagree if Putin said Ukraine will continue to be pounded until the Fasicts there understand its better to stay with Russia than join NATO....... Hope you won't come and cry that a big Nation is bullying it small weaker neighbor.

Hassad of Syria has killed more than 700,000 Syrian citizen since 2011 just to remain in power, this stupid man didn't go to Syrian embassy to burn himself.

Saudi Arabia and Houthi Rebel supported by Iran killed more than 400,000 Yemenis in Yemen, this foolish fellow didn't go to Saudi or Iranian embassy to burn himself.

But he we to Israeli embassy to burn himself for 29,000.

The joke is on you and the imbeciile here is you cos there is absolutely nothing idiot like you can do other rant and insult.

Retarrds like you often try to equate the war in Ukraine to that of gaza...!! Ukraine never invaded Russia neither did they enter Russia and kill their people from house to house and kidnapp others...!!

Either you rant and shout from now till tomorrow, gaza would continue to be pounded and cleaned of the vermin there...!!! If you don't like it you can go furrck yourself...!!

You can as well book the next flight to go help your fellow retarrds in gaza..!!

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.
