A man set himself on fire on Sunday afternoon outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. A U.S. Air Force spokeswoman, Ann Stefanek, confirmed on Sunday night that the man was an active-duty airman.

Officers with the U.S. Secret Service extinguished the fire outside the embassy, in northwestern Washington, around 1 p.m., said Vito Maggiolo, a spokesman with the city’s fire department. The man was taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition.

No embassy staff members were injured, and all were accounted for, according to Tal Naim, a spokeswoman for the embassy.

The man appeared to have filmed the protest and livestreamed it on the social media platform Twitch at the time that the police said they responded to the incident.
The New York Times could not confirm who was behind the account that posted the video, but the video featured a man walking toward the Israeli Embassy in Washington.

“I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” a man said in the video, echoing language that opponents of Israel’s military action in Gaza have used to describe the campaign. “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest.”

Standing in front of the embassy gates, he set his phone down to film dousing himself in a clear liquid from a metal bottle. He then lit himself on fire while yelling “Free Palestine!” until he fell to the ground.

The video showed law enforcement officers approaching him shortly before the fire caught. One could be heard off-camera saying: “Can I help you, sir?" The officers then scrambled for more than a minute to put out the flames.

The video was removed on Sunday afternoon and replaced with a message stating that the channel violated Twitch's guidelines. It was the only video posted to the account, which had a Palestinian flag as its header image.

In the video, the man was dressed in fatigues, and the name he used matched a Linkedin profile for an active-duty Air Force officer based in Texas.

The police also investigated a suspicious vehicle nearby for explosives, but Sean Hickman, a police spokesman, said the scene had been cleared by 4 p.m. Officers with the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had worked with Washington's Explosive Ordinance disposal unit to investigate the incident.

Protests against Israel have become a near-daily occurrence across the country since Israel began its campaign in Gaza after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks that killed at least 1,200 people, according to the Israeli officials. International calls for a humanitarian cease-fire have grown in the past months as the humanitarian crisis has deepened. The embassy has been the site of sustained protests against the war in Gaza as the civilian death toll in the devastated enclave continues to climb,with more than 29,000 dead, according to the local health ministry officials.

Protests have sometimes resulted in arrests but seldom in violence. In December, a protester self-immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in Atlanta in what police said was "likely an extreme act of political protest."

oyibo eeh

Shameful behaviour by the airman
He should be investigate if he has been radicalised by terrorist elements

He is a disgrace to the service and oath he sworn to protect.

You never hear of dark skin Africans doing this. Maybe it happens, but western media covers it up. Once the person thinks of how many potential women he can sleep with, he’ll change his mind quickly.

He is a member of Hamas terrorist group he can't take the melting of their members by the IDF so he decided to set himself ablaze.

His pronlems

Self immolation
He didn't do it well . He should have drank petrol and set himself on fire. That's how TIBETANS protest against CHINA for independence.
Those who still survive still get beaten and shot by police . Zero Terrorists in China

Hmmm
Where is his allegiance?

Put yourself in hell before going to hell? Well I can tell you won't yell as much as someone who just fell in hell suddenly

Well, any sensible person would be taken aback by the onslaught going on between the Isreal and the Palestine. Shunning sentiments will show that it's hard for anyone with conscience to take in the occurrences there. Like even lower animals have bodies that defend their massive annihilation, let alone a group of humans, na half life or dignity those one get ni? I mean we all read with pity with Hitler did to Jews, and now they are dishing out the same, in a never-seen-before bully deeds.

Well, the world is polarized between the strong and the weak today. Fairness is about inexistent.

Wow
Seems the man is Caucasian

Some people will come here to support this nonsense.

Hmmm

Hmmm

Here is a story of how a ghost terrorised boarding a school in Nigeria, relax and enjoy the story.

It was the fall of 2013 at Ogbomoso Secondary School, an all-girls boarding school located in the outskirts of Ogbomoso town in southwestern Nigeria. As the new school year started, the students were buzzing with excitement to be back with their friends. Little did they know the terror that awaited them.

It started slowly at first - missing belongings, strange noises at night, flickering lights. The girls complained to the matronly headmistress, Mrs. Adebayo, but she dismissed their concerns as "overactive teenage imaginations." But the weird occurrences kept escalating...

There is nothing like Ogbomoso Secondary School!

Stop this stupidity!

He should call the entire family to join him... Idiotic Fools

All Islamabadians should emulate this man. If you accuse one for blasphemy, don't kill the person. Pour petrol on your body and set fire on yourself, Mohammed will appear immediately and fight the blasphemer.

Why dem extinguish am na?
