In Praise of the Israeli Spring

http://www.ismail-shammout.com/
Not to be outdone by the Tunisians or the Egyptians, 120,000 Israelis are marching in the streets because of  the high cost of housing and groceries.  It's even being referred to as #J14, i.e., July 14, reminiscent of the dates attached to the Tunisian and Egyptian people's uprisings.

Still waiting to see a picture of a #j14 protester with a sign that reads "This Land is Stolen!"

Palestinians have had a housing crisis for 63 years: Their houses were stolen.

Imagine how high housing prices would be if someone actually paid for the land?

Last time masses of people from the Tel Aviv area were relocated to tents it was by force and they've waited 63 for their right to return.
