How dare those Rightists to try to make this protest actually about housing? The nerve of them!

Don't you know that Israel is a "democratic" state where Rightists may have no rights?

when you left and gay you have the only right to demostrate .

These protests should be maintained thru a combined effort of both political spectrums in Israel. Enough self hate, we have enough external enemies as it is.

due to Leftist racism. My support for these protests have withered to less than zero percent.

when losing an argument, yell accusations of racism then resort to violence.

...exclusive only to the leftists. I hope this circus called 'housing protest' ends immediately. Israel is known for its common sense, this leftist stupidity does not fit here.

When I was a student I was involved in some very far left-wing organizations. But these days I'm disgusted by what these leftists have devolved into with their refusal to countenance any opinion or point of view that doesn't share their extremist ideology.

As a student liberal left wing ideologies look great, helping the poor, equal opportunities etc. Once we grow up, and start working for what we get, liberal left seems a bit dreamy. I've also been there. Many of us have.

Chavez, Che Guevera, Castro, Iranian Mullahs, Bolsheviks, Mao Tse-Tung, Mugabe, Hamas, PLO, IRA, Stalin, Kim jong-il in North Korea.... Do you see a pattern among the regimes Leftists have widely supported besides the millions killed, oppressed and tortured?

they will steal the land your tent is on.

Of course, you're absolutely right. But I didn't quite mean fascist in the literal sense. I was referring more to the tendency of many on the left to shut down any dissenting opinion...something you see far too often on college campuses, for example.

all subsidies regarding housing went for political reasons into the WEST BANK. People were lured in for low housing costs. Therefore investments to settle in the Negev and Galil were not provided. If the settlers now claim to protest alongside the mainstream, is not acceptable. It does however not permit any violent and dangerous acts like the torching of a tent and so endangering lives.

u wanna a cheaper house? well u can always go and build ur own home in judea or shomron..

One of the far left stated among the issues to be raised was Zionism. Dude you want cheaper rent, more building, or you want to get into our national anthem. what lying sleaze, yuck.

There's a revealing article in IsraelNationalNews quoting leftist Yotam Feldman, who admits that many have made working for these groups their vocation. He says, for example, "if it were not for the plethora of neo-colonialist European Union initiatives for solving disputes, safeguarding human rights and establishing good governance, it is likely that many of my acquaintances would find themselves without an income." Well, at last the truth is coming out.

That is per a (liberal) friend who lives in TA. He was on Rothschild the other day and went up to the tents to see for himself. They were all empty. He found out the protesters are living at home and only show up to the tent area when they know the media is there. It makes sense, as living in a tent in the summer heat is like baking in an oven.

or is Judaism's holiest spot for 2500 years "stolen land"?

If Yotam is on the payroll of Leftist orgs, then why would he refer to them as "neo-colonialist EU initiatives"? Is he deriding the groups for poking their noses in the region while at the same time enjoying their benefits? I admit, this is very typical of the Leftists. Just look at the entire entourage of the failed flotillas, and members of ISM.

The left, just a bunch of mercenaries, with no ideals and whatever they're doing is for their selfish purposes to keep them rolling on the payroll for whoever pays them.

and began removing the tents? Or put inflaming slogans on them? or better yet, strategically place "Palestinian" flags in the tent city for the media to capture. At the very least, it will cause Leftists to remain in the tents rather at home in comfort.

I think it's something in our DNA. Although I have to admit that I've never given up my atheism or ultra-liberal positions on social issues. But what really turned me against the far left was their obsessive antipathy toward the U.S. and especially Israel, all the while sucking up to racists, misogynists and homophobes because they've bought into their victimhood narrative hook, line and sinker..

Everyone has a camera phone.
