Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force, self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., to protest against Israel's war on Gaza. His death has sparked a wide range of reactions, from vigils held in his honor across the United States and in London's Trafalgar Square, to debates over his mental health, political stance, and the implications of his act. Bushnell, who had access to classified information due to his role in U.S. Airforce Intelligence, claimed to have knowledge of U.S. forces fighting in Gaza and the existence of tunnels under Gaza. This claim, along with his protest, has led to discussions about U.S. involvement in the conflict and the broader issue of Palestinian liberation. High-profile figures and organizations have weighed in, with some condemning Bushnell's actions and others seeing him as a martyr for the Palestinian cause. The Pentagon, under scrutiny from Senator Tom Cotton, is investigating how Bushnell was allowed to serve, given his views. Meanwhile, veterans have shown solidarity by burning their uniforms at vigils, and debates continue about the nature of Bushnell's protest and its impact on public opinion and policy. A vigil in NYC included a list of Palestinians killed, and Bushnell expressed a wish for his ashes to be scattered in a free Palestine.

Aaron Bushnell did not commit suicide. Suicide is something one does when they don't want to be alive anymore. Bushnell would've been happy to go on living, but he saw Gaza as more important than his own life. His death was exactly what he said it was: an extreme act of protest.
