Wow! 300.000 people protesting on Saturday!
A day after 300,000 march for social justice, Netanyahu government pledges change http://www.haaretz.com/news/national...hange-1.377388
In relation:
The biggest demonstration in West Germany in 1982 had 500000 participants @ 60 million inhabitants. The biggest in East Germany, in November 1989 had the same size @16 million inhabitants - though the East Germans went onto the street for a radical change - and Honecker was even more stubborn than Bibi
So this is huge.
I must admit that I do not get the point of the demands of banning private contractors doing , as long as the work and wage standards are met, I see it as something which helps to
prevent corruption.
The privatization of the health sector is something, Germany has done in the past 2 decades. It was really a "success": Health spendings rose, for the citizens as for the state and the work conditions (and wages) for the ones who work in this sector became worse...
I hope the Israelis are smart enough to stand against the fairy tales of improving the health sector through privatization...

Can you give us examples of housing costs in Israel? I heard especially Tel Aviv must be insanely expensive.
In my town the average rent is 7something € per m² . At least tghe statistic says so, good luck finding anything at this price. In ok parts of the town, you pay about 10-15€, while the rent for apartments in Yuppie quarters can be 100-300€ per m²
