US Soldier Sets Himself on Fire outside Israeli Embassy in Washington to Protest Gaza War
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...
“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!”

Couldn't find uncensored version. Uncensored belowFucking Christ my hearts beating so fast. Goddamn i didn't want to see that but i watched it cus i thought i owed it to him... Goddamnit.
And also shout out to the "hero" pointing his gun at his smouldering corpse as if it will lunge at him any moment.
Goddamnit
That was fucking something. I’m like you I watch it because we owe it to him.
He kept screaming free Palestine over and over, past the point where his lungs had to be toast, and stayed standing so long.
When people perform stunts (stuntmen running around engulfed in flames for movies) the most critical part, aside from extinguishing the flames as soon as is necessary, is making sure those people have oxygen. The fire will consume the oxygen that you would otherwise breathe in.
Yeah, but when you inhale super heated air, it scorches all of your alveoli?, the little fucking airbags in your lungs, and I would just figure that you would pass out very quickly from that lack of oxygen and the fact that you’re working all of your insides.
I know that speech works from the diaphragm and all that but fuck men vocal cords.
When I did my cryo training, they made very clear that you had about two steps into an oxygen free room, and you were done.
At least one of them went "I don't need guns, I need fire extinguishers!"
I read about this and saw the censored version last night. I nearly threw up seeing the uncensored version now. I feel similar to you.
And to all the shitheads on twitter downplaying this as "glorifying mental illness," fuck the lot of them.
He specifically livestreamed the video and sent links to the livestream and archive to various journalists and anarchist press so that the video would be shared and viewed. Its a disservice for it to be censored and weird that person also watermarked it with their @
Uncensored version: (GRAPHIC VIDEO WARNING) https://x.com/v4p4l/status/1761995206465888567?s=46&t=xtlq_1V7eXJ31HI_SLdE9g It will likely be removed soon so download while you can if you think it deserves to be archived.
Twitter is terrible so heres an upload on archive.org that has a torrent and driect download https://archive.org/download/rpreplay-final-1708967255
Because it is censored, more people will see it and more people will get the message so I disagree with you but I see your point.
literally the entire point behind this act is it being explicitly graphic, sharing the uncensored version quite literally goes against that. It's almost as bad as censoring the message from the get go, except now we're actively disrespecting his intention.
I think the graphic nature can be shared while also censoring the gore. It's not like it changes the events in any way.
you can also do what this post and basically every article did, and then post a single frame of the video. No blurring needed, no graphic content explicitly posted.
I've created a torrent for the video if anyone wants to help seed.

I really debated if I wanted to see this, I thought didn't need to get what he did. Let me tell you watching it made me sick to the stomach and made it much much more real than just knowing what did in text.
