Israelis Attack Arab-Jewish Protest Tent

TEL AVIV, July 30, 2011 (WAFA) – Right-wing Israelis Friday attacked an Arab-Jewish tent, tore down a Palestinian flag and destroyed signs in the tent city on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, according to Israeli sources.

The tent city was set up in Tel Aviv two weeks ago when dozens of Israelis moved out of their homes to live in the streets, protesting high rent and housing prices. The protests spread across several Israeli cities as well.

Arab citizens of Israel had also joined the protests, which seem to have irked right-wing anti-Arab Israelis.

The protesters have demanded that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should leave office if he is unable to curb the rising cost of living in Israel.
