Matt Nelson of Boston reportedly sets himself on fire outside Israeli consulate, becoming latest individual in US to self-immolate to protest Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza being carried out with American weapons. On Wednesday, before the self-immolation, a video surfaced on YouTube in which Nelson condemned the Biden administration for its material and political support of Israel’s brutal siege and carnage in Gaza. “My name is Matt Nelson and I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he says in the video.
