A protester comforts himself with an ice lolly — moments after setting himself ablaze.Struggling businessman Moshe Silman, 57, doused his clothes with petrol and lit them during a 10,000-strong march for social reform in Tel Aviv, Israel.He suffered burns over 80 per cent of his body and was last night fighting for life. PM Benjamin Netanyahu called it “a great and personal tragedy” and added: “I wish Moshe a complete recovery.”
