After being admitted to Rambam Medical Center, he "was afraid to go home. I live alone....They insist on releasing me....without medical treatment. They also threaten to call the police, and instead of receiving medical treatment I could end up in jail. So long."
He was desperate. Weeks later he self-immolated. He and others like him symbolize Israeli injustice. It reflects growing harshness throughout Western societies.
When government officials spurn basic rights, people react. Self-immolation is extreme. It signifies what's too hard to bear.
Perhaps it'll inspire others to rally against what they'll no longer tolerate. It's their only chance for justice. There's no other way.
