Israelis under siege by Tel Aviv regime: American author

An American author says the protests against social injustice in Israel show the population is under siege by the Tel Aviv regime, Press TV reports.

“They (protests) mark the extent to which the population in Israel is finding itself under siege by their own [regime],” said Ralph Schoenman, political analyst and author of the Hidden History of Zionism, in an interview with Press TV on Saturday.

He added that the Israelis are “taking to the streets in a generalized movement of protests against the rising cost of living; the cuts in social programs and benefits; and the control of economic life in Israel by a tiny oligarchy of the rich, which has galvanized resistance throughout its very society.”

Schoenman made the comments a day after 57-year-old protester Moshe Silman died of burns he had sustained after he set himself on fire in Tel Aviv last week.

Silman self-immolated on July 14 during a demonstration held to mark the first anniversary of protests against social injustice and high cost of living that swept Israel last summer.

“With respect to the fate of Moshe Silman, he had been a regular participant of this protest movement that began last year over the rising cost of living and the cuts in social programs,” the political analyst stated.

“And it should be noted that when his small business had not succeeded, he was in a dispute with the National Insurance Institute and his trucks were seized to pay off his debts and his bank accounts and the home that his mother had left him was seized as well.”

Israeli demonstrators attacked and torched the office of the National Insurance Institute in Tel Aviv a few days ago. The institute is blamed for Silman’s financial troubles and his self-immolation.

On Sunday, a 45-year-old disabled Israeli man also set himself on fire in the city of Yehud, about 15 kilometers (9 miles) east of Tel Aviv.

Medical sources said the man had burns over about 80 percent of his body.
