Some quarter of a million Israelis took to the streets Saturday night in protests against the mounting cost of living for the middle class in one of the largest social outcries in Israeli history.
Marching under the slogan, "the people ask for social justice," students, young families and older Israelis called for the Israeli government to rethink financial reforms that they say have squeezed the middle class.
"Everybody who works ... doesn't have enough money to survive," a demonstrator told CNN. She accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of giving tax money "to the tycoons and to the rich people and nothing comes (back) to us."

You are who your around and Netanyahu is no different! Most if not all the world leaders have their own game that they play with OUR MONEY!
The good news, unlike Syrians and Libyans, Jews will not be shooting each other in the street.
I've met many Israelis, but I've never met a poor one.
then you've NEVER been to Israel. but ignorance is not an excuse.

Few with big fat Golden nest egg. More without nothing...SAD! SAD! SAD! Whatever happened to money being distributed? I guess humanity is out the window since MONEY/GREED seem to be the new agenda. Tragic!
well, we're not alone I see! This must be the trend with world leaders these days, take from the working class & give to the already prosperous rich! Will this be us in a few months, protesting the cutting of social programs, the only thing keeping food on the table!?
