Last night thousands gathered around several cities to commemorate Moshe Silman, the protester who died after burning himself last week. "We're all Moshe" they chanted ... victims of Israeli bureaucracy. Well, how about us victims of religious fanaticism? I don't see anyone protesting against the tearing up of a New Testament. I don't see Obama or Clinton saying anything about this.
Now we're receiving news of a disabled man setting himself on fire at a bus-stop. http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/disabled-israeli-man-in-serious-condition-after-setting-himself-on-fire-in-yehud-1.452777 This is a frightening copycat domino.
