"We will not stop this protest until you, prime minister ( Benjamin Netanyahu ), give us real solutions. We are here to stay, "said one of the main leaders of the movement, the president of the National Union of Students, Itzik Shmueli, in concentration in Tel Aviv. Shmueli warned that "the road to victory will not be easy," but end with " a better Israeli society "based on a" better balance between free market economy and the human economy. " The Million March 'was the challenge issued by 'outraged' by Israel to achieve the largest demonstration the country's history, seven weeks after the start of the protest movement. The 'outraged' managed to get 300,000 people to the streets highest concentration in the then history of the Jewish state by reasons unrelated to the conflict in the Middle East . The figure today in a country of 7.5 million , far exceeds the highest concentration in the history of the Jewish state, when 400,000 people took to the streets in 1982 to protest the massacres at the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon. The Israelis of any political or religious, as underlined by a mobilization of the videos made by the organizers had been convened in various cities between 20.30 and 21.30 local time (17.30 and 18.30 GMT). While the call sign reads, in a pun: "They only understand numbers," the organizers insisted that the success of the protest should not be measured solely by the number of attendees. Last Saturday only moved 20,000, half in Tel Aviv. Defense Minister Ehud Barak, went on Friday, although Saturday night only 100,000 people to manifest their voice will be heard. The answer was born in Tel Aviv when a young woman in July planted a tent in a downtown boulevard after being left without a home to rent. His case was followed by others in solidarity, which Boulevard filled hundreds of stores, spread to other cities and became a broader movement of protest socio-economic status. However, the initiative has been criticized in certain circles left aside for tactical reasons the thorny issue the occupation and colonization of Palestinian territories.
