He better hope Harris/Walz win, because a self-immolation attempt is certainly a pre-existing condition.

If he is doing this for Palestine....he's a day late and a dollar short and I highly doubt they care about his self-inflicted sense of self-importance. I don't think Israel gives a fuck either.
