<p>A man appeared to light himself on fire Friday afternoon outside a New York City courthouse where jury selection was underway in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s criminal trial.</p>
<p>The man soaked himself with an accelerant around 1:35 p.m. EST right across the street from the courthouse in Collect Pond Park and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/nyregion/man-on-fire-trump.html">reportedly</a> “threw pamphlets into the air before” carrying out the act of self-immolation.</p>
<p>&#8220;A man has emblazoned himself outside the courthouse just now,&#8221; a CNN reporter said live on air as camera crews quickly turned to film the incident.</p>

<p>The incident happened right as the court was being dismissed for a break, CNN reported.</p>
<p>GRAPHIC WARNING:</p>

<p>The incident comes two months after a far-left extremist lit himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., an event that was used by Islamic terrorist groups to promote propaganda.</p>
<p>Aaron Bushnell, a low-level software engineer in the U.S. Air Force, screamed “Free Palestine!” as flames engulfed his body after he doused himself with a flammable liquid and lit himself on fire. He later died from his injuries.</p>
<p>Bushnell repeated terrorist propaganda in the moments leading up to the incident, falsely claiming that what was happening inside Gaza was a “genocide” and calling Israel “colonizers.”</p>
<p>The Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas said in a statement that they expressed their “deepest condolences and our full solidarity with the family and friends” of Bushnell, “whose name has been immortalized as a defender of human values ​​and the oppression of the Palestinian people who are suffering because of the American administration and its unjust policies.”</p>
<p>The terrorist group claimed that President Joe Biden was responsible for Bushnell’s death, called Israel a “Nazi Zionist entity” and falsely accused Israel of waging a “war of extermination against our Palestinian people”.</p>
<p>The statement concluded by calling Bushnell’s actions “heroic” and said that Israel’s leaders were “Nazis.”</p>
<p>In his suicide note, Bushnell <a href="https://twitter.com/NoahPollak/status/1762206228216975434">included</a> his gender pronouns.</p>
