Israel protests: demands for social justice

  • 12 years ago
http://www.nma.tv A summer of protests against rising house prices and living costs culminated last weekend with around half-a-million Israelis joining protests across the country. Nationwide ire was first sparked by a hike in cottage cheese prices, before long it spread to housing. Protesters also used Facebook to air grievances about the cost of transport, childcare, food, fuel and low salaries. At first authorities tried to paint the protesters as leftists, but then commissioned a task force to find answers. What kind of solutions will the task force come up with?
