A letter left by 52 year old Moshe Silman who set himself on fire following a protest for social justice in Tel Aviv, Israel, on July 14, 2012.

The letter reads:

"The State of Israel has stolen from me, robbed me and left me with nothing, and the Tel Aviv District Court has stopped me from getting justice. — and has registered me at the Tel Aviv District court and charged me that i had broken the law and disrupted legal proceedings
It won’t even assist me with my rental fees
Two committees from the Ministry of Housing have rejected my requests, despite the fact that I have had a stroke and was granted 100% work disability.
Ask the manager of Amidar, in Haifa, 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 from my truck.
The Haifa National Insurance Institute branch, who abused me for a year until I was granted disability allowance.
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 served in 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."
