With the arrival of the one year anniversary of the Hamas terror attacks on October 7, many people have been striving to find their own way to mark the somber event. Israel has struck back hard and to great effect, inflicting serious damage on its enemies and clearing out enemy fighters, but there is little to celebrate. More than 100 hostages remain missing or unaccounted for and the Israelis are still trying to account for all who were lost. Some public demonstrations of grief have not taken on the expected tone, however. There are some who are seeking to lionize the actions of Hamas and cast the blame upon Israel. This includes one person who ostensibly works in the legacy media. A supposed photojournalist chose to set himself on fire outside the White House this weekend to show his support for Hamas. But even that dramatic display appeared to fall short of the mark. (NY Post)
A protester who works in the media lit himself on fire outside of the White House during an anti-Israel protest on Saturday evening, disturbing video shows.
The man, identified as photojournalist Samuel Mena Jr, can be seen screaming in pain after he set his left arm ablaze in the middle of the street as shocked police officers and bystanders rush over to help, according to one clip.
