Matt Nelson Suffers Severe Burns In Self-Imolation Over Israel-Gaza Conflict.

A man named Matt Nelson has been hospitalized with severe burns after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli consulate in Boston in an apparent act of protest. The incident is reportedly the third case of self-immolation in the U.S. tied to opposition to Israel’s military actions in Gaza. Nelson, in a video posted before the protest, cited his desire to end U.S. arms sales to Israel and support for an International Criminal Court indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Matt Nelson’s protest follows similar cases, including the self-immolation of U.S. airman Aaron Bushnell outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. earlier this year. Bushnell’s death, and another protest in Atlanta, reflect growing frustrations over U.S. support for Israel during the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

In his video, Nelson condemned what he called a “genocide in Gaza,” urging Americans to demand legislative action to halt arms sales to Israel. The protest sparked discussions on social media, with some expressing sympathy and amplifying his message, while authorities continue their investigation into the incident.
