Lower the Rent!'Is Israel's Rallying Cry

摘要

What started in mid-July as a minor protest-two dozen tents pitched in a posh section of Tel Aviv-has morphed into a full-blown citizen's movement in Israel. The tent camps have spread to other choice avenues in Tel Aviv and cropped up in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Beersheba. More than 250,000 people filled the streets outside Israel's Defense Ministry on Aug. 6 at a "Rally for Social Justice" replete with protest leaders and local rock stars.
