A protester tried to self immolate outside of the White House during an anti-Israel protest on Saturday evening, disturbing video shows.

The unidentified man can be see screaming in pain after he lit his left arm on fire in the middle of the street as shocked police officers and bystanders rush over to help, according to one clip.

He holds his left arm high in the air as its engulfed in flames as the crowd douses his arm with water and batters out the flames out with towels.

Complete and successful self-immolation doesn't seem to register as a mark of mental stability.

He still may chave a chance at limiting military aid to support a war criminal who's only trying to stay out of jail; and at the same time, stop a domestic criminal who wants to become a war criminal.

He better hope Harris/Walz win, because a self-immolation attempt is certainly a pre-existing condition.

....understands how Barbaric HAMAS and Hezbollah are

If he is doing this for Palestine....he's a day late and a dollar short and I highly doubt they care about his self-inflicted sense of self-importance. I don't think Israel gives a fuck either.
