US Air Force member Aaron Bushnell has died from his injuries after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, an official confirmed on Monday.
A US Air Force spokesperson confirmed to The Post that 25-year-old Bushnell died overnight to The Post, though she did not officially name him citing the ongoing notification of next of kin.
Officials were still contacting family members Monday and will not officially announce his death until 24 hours after that is complete, the Air Force representative said.
A man wearing a US Air Force uniform reportedly set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy
There was no immediate word on Bushnell’s cause of death.
A harrowing video livestreamed on Twitch on Sunday afternoon appeared to show the serviceman dressed in uniform standing in front of the 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,” Bushnell reportedly said, before setting himself ablaze and repeatedly crying out “Free Palestine.”
Just hours before his deadly act of self-immolation, Bushnell posted a final message on Facebook.

Did he think this was the Vietnam War?
Air Force friends tell me he was a missileer (Their term not mine!). Not a warm fuzzy thinking that a nut bar like this was near nuclear weapons. Like cockroaches where there’s one there’s more!
He looks like a cuck from central casting. What a cliché he is.
Self-immolation really burns me up!
And our Country is better for it!
Adios re TARD!
good riddance to bad rubbish!
When I was on active duty we had to remove an airman who decided he was a “Day-Walker Vampire.”
Strip away all white identity and this is what we’re left with. Healthy, young white males who kill themselves over an inbred Arab tribe they have no connection with.
I only refer to “Earth Day” as Vladimir Lenin’s Birthday. It annoys liberals.
What, No class A uniform???
More of those Snowflakes should do that.
So now there will be a “In Line of Duty-Misconduct Investigation” which will undoubtedly “Find” that he died while “Not In The Line of Duty” and “Due to his own “Misconduct.” His family will not get the Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance ($200K ? ) or the Death Gratuity of about $3000 to pay for burial expenses. Stupid.
Maybe they meant Mouseketeer?
Biden just lost a vote
I bet that hurt a lot.
Air Force friends tell me he was a missileer
Near as I can tell, he was an E-4 computer tech with the 531st Intel Squadron.
No he didn't, he'll still vote for Biden.
-100 woke points for not accomplishing this task in dress blues.
LOL Ur probably correct
