‘My name is Aaron Bushnell and I am a member of the United States Air Force. I will not participate in genocide. I’m about to embark on a vehement protest. But, compared to what the Palestinians are going through, this is not severe at all,’ he said, walking in front of the embassy. Bushnell was chanting ‘Free Palestine’ as he was engulfed in flames.
