A Protester Self-immolates Outside the Israeli Consulate in Atlanta.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: A security guard tried to intervene but was unsuccessful, officials said.

A protester self-immolated on Friday afternoon outside of the Israeli Consulate building in Atlanta, in what the police described as “likely an extreme act of political protest.”

A security guard tried to intervene but was unsuccessful, officials said. The demonstrator sustained third-degree burns to the body, and the guard was burned on his wrist and leg. Both were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where the protester was in critical condition. » | Colbi Edmonds | Published: Friday, December 1, 2023; updated: Saturday, December 2, 2023
