Israelis Want the Same Things Most People Do, and Aren't Afraid to Protest
JERUSALEM — The leaders of a social protest movement that has rocked Israel for a month called on demonstrators to "get out of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem" to bolster demonstrations Saturday in a dozen other cities.
Israel has gripped since mid-July by a rapidly growing protest movement demanding cheaper housing, education and health care.

"For a month (Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu has been trying to humiliate us, divide us, buy time -- and he has done absolutely nothing," she said.
"It is up to the government to take concrete steps to demonstrate its goodwill, only then can a dialogue begin."
An opinion poll released by Channel 10 television Tuesday showed that 88 percent of respondents said they supported the movement, with 53 percent saying they are willing take part in protests.
Last Saturday, more than 300,000 people demonstrated in Tel Aviv and other cities calling for "social justice" and a "welfare state."

well they must already have fairly cheap housing since they regularly evict palestinians from their homes and then simply settle themselves into those homes.
israel already has the best military technology that US tax-payers can buy, what more do they want?
81 US congress men just went on a joint vacation to israel, courtesy of the US tax-payers.

whatever the Israeli elites are stealing, the common people aren't getting it, apparently
Very effective material, thanks so much for this post.
