"Israeli" Social Protests Escalate after Man Burns Himself
On the first year anniversary of social protests that stormed the Zionist entity, an "Israeli" government office was burnt and vandalized in solidarity with self-immolating protester.
The words "Price tag Moshe Silman" were found sprayed on a wall at the scene.
Graffiti outside the so-called "National Insurance Institute's" Ramat Gan Office read 'Price tag Moshe Silman.'
On Sunday, protesters demonstrated in Tel Aviv, to express solidarity with Silman.
Shortly after midnight on Monday, the fire department and police came to the scene. Emergency services arrived on the scene to find the branch office's entrance partly burned, and graffiti drawings on the wall.
In the surge of Tel Aviv's social protests demonstration last night, a man read out a letter outlining his discontents, doused himself with fuel and set himself ablaze.
The man, 57-year-old Silman of Haifa, was well known in the activism community. He is in a medically induced coma with burns on 94 percent of his body. Doctors announced that he has "low chances" of survival.
The lack of hospital beds was one of the protest movement's earliest grievances. For the second weekend in a row, over 10,000 protestors gathered in Tel Aviv, several thousand more in occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Possibly due to the approach of "Israel's" electoral year, recent protests took a decidedly more political tone than last summer's mass movements. The [Benjamin] Netanyahu government also took a more combative tone, accusing marchers and movement leaders of choosing political sides.
In recent years, Silman, once the owner of a successful transport business, found himself deeper and deeper in debt. Having once been a homeowner, he was repeatedly denied requests for public housing and is now a week away from being kicked out of the friend's apartment in which he was allowed to stay for free in recent months.
Numerous friends from Haifa knew that he had threatened to kill himself before becoming homeless, and had organized to protect him at the Haifa march.
Just before soaking himself in fuel at the rally, Silman read aloud a letter in which he accused the "Israeli" government, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Finance Minster Yuval Steinitz of having "robbed me of everything." After reading it aloud, he scattered copies in his vicinity.
