Escalating Israeli Street Protests. Huge 250 000 demonstrations, 11 cities involved. Poverty, unemployment.

small protests became huge ones nationwide in 11 cities. More on the largest ones below.

At issue are the following grievances:

(1) Along with America and Britain, Israel has the greatest wealth disparity and social inequality among developed nations, causing unemployment, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and eroding benefits.

(2) Unaffordable housing, creating an intolerable burden for growing numbers being priced out of a place to live.

(3) High food and energy prices.

(4) Low wages and eroding social benefits.
