Yesterday there were almost 300,000 people in the demonstration in Tel Aviv, 30,000 in Jerusalem and thousands in demonstrations all over the country. Once I was in a demonstration of a million and half in London. It was different – they were more organized, the demand was clear: NO WAR in Irak and if I love it or not I don’t live there.
And yes 300 thousand in Tel Aviv is like almost three million in London or Paris, it is similar to 9,000,000 people in Brazil!
Brazilians, can you imagine 9 million people in one big demo? That’s what happened yesterday.
The demands were various: against the concentration of capital in the hands of few, against privatization, for better public health care, for public housing, for more budgets to education, against the taxes, against the cost of living and hundreds of particular demands.
Mostly the demonstrations were against the disdain of the government towards the people.

In the meantime the stocks were already down by six percent at the opening of the market. Tel Aviv is the first market to open after the downgrade of US to AA+.
Interesting days before us.
