A burning Israeli bonzo during a demonstration of 'outraged'


An Israeli man about 50 years of age has been set on fire during a demonstration bonzo of 'outraged' held in Tel Aviv to mark the first anniversary of the demonstrations in favor of greater social justice and to protest the high cost of life. The man suffered third degree burns on 80 percent of his body and was taken to a hospital. His condition is serious but not feared for his life. Eyewitnesses reported that the man handed out several copies of a letter read before sprayed with a flammable liquid and ignited. "The State of Israel has stolen, has left me with nothing. I blame Israel, (Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu and (Finance Minister) Yuval Steinitz by the continued humiliation they endure every day citizens Israel. I would take from the poor to give to the rich, "he lamented. An activist, Ofer Barkan, has said that Haifa was now hospitalized and had already participated in the protests last year. "I met last summer. It was a completely normal person living in Tel Aviv, but his business collapsed. Worked as a taxi driver, but suffered a heart attack which was on the dole. Went to Haifa because he could not paid life in this city, "he reported. According to Barkan, the man had repeatedly threatened to catch fire. "We thought we could do it but did not know," he added in remarks to the Israeli daily Haaretz. Demonstrations to commemorate the first anniversary of the protests, triggered shortly after the 15-M Spanish, met on Saturday to thousands in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beer Sheva, Jerusalem and Afula.
