Might the Arab Spring be Spreading to Israel?

Might the Arab Spring be Spreading to Israel?
http://apnews.excite.com/article/2011072...GUHG0.html

Quote:JERUSALEM (AP) - Thousands of young protesters have set up sprawling tent camps in Israeli cities, forcing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday to introduce economic reforms to address a swell of discontent over high housing costs and stave off the worst domestic crisis of his two years in power.

Netanyahu's reforms, meant to bring down steep housing prices, appeared unlikely to end the crisis, which already has forced him to cancel a high-profile visit to Poland and sent his approval ratings plummeting.

The housing protests, which have sprouted up over the past two weeks in parks and along city streets from Tel Aviv to the desert city of Beersheba, have tapped into a wider sense of frustration over an eroding middle class and growing gaps between rich and poor.


One wonders when....or if....the kids over here will wake up to the fucking they are getting from the upper 1%?

Probably never....they are still too busy tweeting about some dead singer.

They are still tweeting about that Amy Winehouse? Still?

That's kinda sad.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
