The 57-year-old, the son of Holocaust survivors, did not have an easy start. He lived alone, and according to friends. tried to get ahead in life and live in dignity. But a small debt to the National Insurance Institute grew and sent him into an economic and bureaucratic tailspin that ended in self-immolation Saturday night on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street in front of the cameras.
“Moshe was simply not willing for the State of Israel to run him over anymore,” a friend said.

Finchè Israele continuerà per la strada delle colonie e della lobby pro-colonica, tutto questo non solo non avrà fine… diventerà sempre più frequente.
