re: #11 Destro

Why are you invested in downplaying it? Laugh it off?

You’ve made another misinterpretation. It is a personal tragedy. No one said otherwise. But it doesn’t go any farther.

Netanyahu promises to look into situation of social justice protester who set himself alight in Tel Aviv protest; Yechimovich says suicide must not be a symbol of social protest.

And this:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the case of Moshe Silman, who set himself on fire during Saturday night’s social justice protest, a “great personal tragedy.”

Netanyahu said during a Likud ministers meeting on Sunday that he had asked Welfare Minister Moshe Kahlon and Housing and Construction Minister Ariel Atias to look into Silman’s case.
