Title: Social protests in... Israel.
Post by: Grizzly on September 04, 2011, 12:56:17 pm

The Isrealian middle class declares it's unhappiness at their current situation (http://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=nl&sl=nl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nrc.nl%2Fnieuws%2F2011%2F08%2F06%2Fprotest-in-israel-begon-met-kaas%2F) by protesting en-masse. Apperently, hundreds of thousands of people are hitting the streets. I don't know how crowded the cities in Israel actually are, but it sounds like an significant number.

The translation is a little hard to read so here's the BBC's take on it.

I'm sure the BBC can be trusted about a story on Israel.

Actually, it's pretty much on a level with the original piece. but yeah, when Israel is concerned, it's probably best to get as many sources as you can. I doubt there's any news source out there that can keep bias, in one direction or the other, out of a news story with the current situation in the Middle East.

Feel free to point out where they are wrong. Or find a more correct source.
