1. ECONOMIC LADDER
zivron   (06.27.12)
tHE ECONOMIC JUSTICE IN ISRAEL HAS BEEN PERVERTED BY GANGSTERS AND MOGULS WHO BRIBE THEIR WAY TO PROFIT .ITS TIME TO TURN BACK TO THE VALUES OF THE PALMACH WHO CREATED THE STATE IN 1947-1949 WITH THEIR BLOOD .
2. No, we need COUNTER-Demonstrations
Free Marketeer ,   Sharon,Isr &SoCal,US   (06.27.12)
No, what Israel really needs is counter activists to make the case that the way to lower the cost of living, and improve the standard of living and quality of life is NOT more social welfare but exactly the opposite, namely more free markets, more competition, less government, lower taxes, deregulation, and more, not less, statism and failed dependency based welfare programs! The social protesters have legitimate complaints but their proposed solutions would make things far worse, Israel needs activists making the case for free market capitalism since unfortunately, in the economic sphere, the discourse is still dominated by a leftist and socialist establishment.
3. No chance this is not actually protest?
Elad ,   Houston/Israel   (06.27.12)
Couldn't be just too little education, too much TV, no parents and responsible friends, and no sense of achievement. It is sooo much easier to blame a governemnt than it is to deal with a complex issue up close and personal--you know, like create a job.
4. Exactly right...and the masses want the
Israeli 2   (06.27.12)
left OUT! The majority of Israelis are not leftists. If they once were, they realized how left (wrong) they were.
5. The supporting masses are too busy at Ben Gurion's check-ins
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.27.12)
6. Childish protesters
Edgar ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (06.27.12)
Let them formulate a platform and create a political party as a way of pushing their agenda. Everything else is just summer night games for bore children.
7. Return to sound money
Rado ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.27.12)
Interest rates at record lows of near zero make it impossible for us to save. Israel has become a country of spenders which leaves us with no future, just like the USA. How about a return to a gold or silver standard as proposed by Hugo Salinas Price on IGASC co il. The shekel was one of the first silver backed currencies in history. Lets return our shekel back to a silver standard, so I can save my money for the future, instead of spending it before inflation destroys my purchasing power,
8. These spoilled brads are tomorrow's supreme court judges
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (06.27.12)
as is the case with the current court... therefore, israel's dissmal and corrupt state can easily be explained... leftist elitist rich kids can play violent rebels when they are students to become overpaid public functionaries when they grow up. these taxpayer funded officals in their turn keep their tycoon mentors out of any trouble
