The New York Post reported that Aaron Bushnell posted a Twitch video on Facebook and left a message that was described as haunting. Aaron Bushnell’s last message reads “My name is Aaron Bushnell. I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and will no longer participate in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people are going through in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine!”

What would I do if my country committed genocide?’ The answer is, you do it. Now,”
The video lasts more than 3 minutes. It shows Aaron Bushnell dressed in full military uniform. As he walks down Embassy Row he says, “I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force. And I will no longer be an accomplice in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But considering what the people experienced in Palestine from their colonizers, this is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided is normal.” Aaron Bushnell was an active duty member of the US Air Force.
