A US Air Force soldier is in critical condition after he set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday. He live streamed the self-immolation action on Twitch where he captured himself standing outside the gates of the Israeli embassy and identifying himself as a member of the US Air Force.
“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!”

It is horrible that this occurred and sad indeed but it is also a sign of resistance within the US military and a sign of morale problems and a conscience of US GIs – they know they are now openly tools in a genocide operation and this could be the beginning of the turn around for US GIs – when they recognize that their lot is best thrown down with the rest of the planet that is oppressed by the US armed forces.
