A man in Boston set himself on fire in front of Israel’s consulate, protesting the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The incident, occurring on Sept. 11, left the man seriously injured and hospitalized with severe burns.
While authorities investigate, details about the man remain undisclosed. The lack of coverage in national media has sparked criticism, with social media users accusing a cover-up.
In a video statement shared online, the protester expressed outrage over U.S. support for Israel, calling for an end to the violence in Gaza. This incident marks a continuation of similar protests, including one in February outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The Jerusalem Post highlighted the date’s significance, falling on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Despite inquiries, Boston Police have not shared additional details.
