(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ralph Schoenman, political commentator and the author of The Hidden History of Zionism, said on Thursday: “It is not only because of specific consequences in terms of the cost of housing and the run-away cost of food. But because of the growing awareness amongst Israelis that the concentration of power is so enormous that it is virtually in the hands of a few prominent families.”
Anti-regime protests erupted in Israel in mid-July as activists began setting up tents in Tel Aviv to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's economic and social policies.
The protests quickly spread, with tent camps appearing in many cities across Israel.
Detailing the acquisitive approaches in Israel, Schoenman said, “The financial apparatus in Israel, like that in other capitalist countries and certainly in the US, has arrogated to itself not only power but also basic income and the riches, and the financial distribution is in the hands of a very tiny oligarchy in Israel.”
The demonstrators are calling for a million-man march in at least 50 cities on Saturday.
