Breaking: ISRAELI MAN SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE IN TEL AVIV PROTEST - ISRAEL REVOLUTION
An Israeli man set himself on fire Saturday during a Tel Aviv demonstration marking the anniversary of last summer's social protests.

As thousands marched down Kaplan street in Tel Aviv to mark one year since the start of social protests, one of the protesters poured gasoline on his body and then set himself on fire. The man was evacuated to the hospital shortly afterward.

In a letter he left at the scene, he wrote that, "The state of Israel stole from me and robbed me. It left me helpless."

"Two Housing and Construction Ministry committees rejected me, even though I had a stroke," he wrote in the letter said, saying that the facts could be checked with a public housing company in Haifa.

In the letter, he said that he blames "the state of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz, for the humiliation that the weakened citizens go through every day, taking from the poor and giving to the rich."
Yonatan Sahar, a protester who witnessed the incident, said that he was standing next to the man, when suddenly he set himself on fire. "I saw him holding something burning," he said. When suddenly he poured gasoline on himself and immediately caught fire. "I didn't know what to do," he added.

According to medical officials, the man is currently in serious condition.

The average Jewish person is as much a victim of the ultra-rich Jewish business people and politicians as the Palestinian and non-Jewish people. When the Israeli's wake up to their hard life maybe they will go back to Europe and leave the Palestinians their land.

letter from moshe silman who set himself on fire tonight:

The State of Israel has stolen from me and robbed me, left me with nothing

and the Tel Aviv District Court blocked me from getting justice. — registrar at the Tel Aviv District court, broke the law, disrupted legal proceedings, out of condescension.

It won’t even assist me with my rental fees

Two committees from the Ministry of Housing have rejected me, despite the fact that I have undergone a stroke and was granted 100% work disability

Ask the manager of Amidar, in Hafia, on Hanevi’im Street.

I blame the State of Israel

I blame Bibi Netanyahu

and [Minister of Finance] Yuval Steinitz

both scum

for the humiliation that disenfranchised citizens go through day in and day out, that take from the poor and give to the rich, and to public servants

those that serve the State of Israel

The National Health Insurance, especially —, the manager of their operations, and the manager of their claims department, —, on Lincoln Street in Tel Aviv, who illegally seized my work equipment for my truck.

The Haifa National Insurance Institute branch, who abused me for a year until I was granted disability

That I pay NIS 2300 per month in Health Insurance taxes and even more for my medicine

I have no money for medicine or rent. I can’t make the money after I have paid my millions in taxes I did the army, and until age 46 I did reserve duty

I refuse to be homeless, this is why i am protesting

Against all the injustices done to me by the State, me and others like me

How can Israel treat one of its own like this knowing what had happened in the Holocaust?

Surely, what happened to the festival of renewel and forgiveness of debts?

Where is your heart Israel that you would take from your own citizens their lands that GOD HIMSELF has given them as a possession forever?

Israel.
Where is your heart?
