Tents pitched to protest housing crisis, again
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOver three years after a wave of social justice protests swept Israel, several activists pitched tents in Tel Aviv’s Rothschild Boulevard — the site where the first series of rallies against the cost of living began.
It was unclear how many tents were pitched and whether the activity will sprout a larger campaign, but Channel 10 reports that “hundreds” of people were expected to join later tonight.
The organizer, Shai Cohen, says he decided to renew the protests after he turned 40. At 40, he is still unable to afford an apartment, he says.
