Israel's 'social protests' rattle Netanyahu government

Crowd scene from Saturday's Tel Aviv protest.
Last weekend's protests were among the biggest Israel has ever seen

Last Saturday, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of a Middle Eastern city.

Demanding change, they were fed up with the ruling elite and said their government was no longer listening to its people.

But this was not Egypt, Tunisia or Libya. This was Israel.

If the Israeli government had hoped the street protests, which began three weeks ago, would lose momentum and fade away, it has not happened.
