As details of bureaucratic nightmare emerge, Netanyahu laments 'personal tragedy' of man who set himself on fire

Finally a zionist spring!

Suicide is no courage.

I think Israel has let her self charge to much in penaltys if it's tickets or late feas and such maybe it's time to step back governors and let your people breath stop being so greedy

I feel bad for mr silman. God bless his soul

If his self-immolation gets the attention of Natenyahu, Just keep in mind what started the Tunisian revolution. Government run amock

I expected better from Israel, I really did.

now the state gets to pay for his medical treatment which will end up costing much more than the property they seized.

Hopefully, Palestinians do not set themselves on fire each time "The State of Israel has stolen from me and robbed me, left me with nothing" as he said, there would be no more palestinians

Shame on the state for cultivating the seeds of this tragedy. Israeli capitalism is serving the rich well. It is causing untold despair for the money. The social net, once the pride of the country, has vanished. All power to the rich! What a shame.

Israel is a fantastic place for some Jewish elite and their extension politicians. But for ordinary people life is getting an expensive and uncomfortable nightmare.

That Jews revolting agaist Jews.I have a deep feeling that the Jewish spring is coming.

What is sickening is that the social agencies like Welfare (Revacha) spend their resources tying to find "cases" of parental child abuse. If you grab your kid and smack him on the tush - you will have them going after you to take your kid away. They are aggressively going to harass you by videotaping all your kids and speaking to all your neighbors and you end up with a bad name for nothing. But in real need situations they are NO WHERE to be found.

And I thought that it was just the Palestinians that are poor and get messed over in Israel.

Without any human consideration ! This is the Israël of today for thousand of peoole

Good-for nothing,except for squeezing,& wringing the common folk of their daily bread,has the nerve & audacity to put more & more burdens on its people. The blood of the man who ignited himself,lies squarely the entire government,& those especially who hold the tap of the budget in their hands. Time: a) to cut the salaries of ALL the Knesset Members by 45% & dwindle the total of government officials of every hue & colour by 65%. Only when the government is small with about half the numbers of MKs will their be stability in the country,& really looking after the needs of its loyal citizens.

from its life. Evil people should not be employed in its services

If the Netanyahu government doing to it's citizen that looking after the riche and ignoring the poor God help the palestinen

Prayers for Moshe Silman.

I am sure he is not the only one. I hope a social assistance lawyer takes on his case and gets a major lawyer firm to come on board to get this man some justice and set up some rules where people do not fall through the cracks.
