FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda More than 6,500 people gathered in and around Tel Aviv’s Habima Square on Saturday night.
The protesters shouted, “The nation is after social justice” and “democracy,” and hurled slogans against Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hundreds gathered in front of the Tel Aviv City Hall, shouting “police state.”
The police clashed with protesters who blocked main thoroughfares in the city center.
The rally took place one day after the police arrested 12 activists when protesters tried to reestablish a tent camp on the Rothschild Boulevard, the scene of a mass encampment in favor of social injustice protests one year ago.
Activist Dafni Leef was one of the detainees. She was one of the leaders of the social protest movement launched last summer.
Leef’s lawyer said that the protest leader had been wounded during her arrest.
The opposition said police forces were employing repressive measures to prevent a rerun of last year’s protests, during which dozens of tent camps sprung up in major cities.
In July 2011, Leef, along with a group of young people, set up several tents on the boulevard to demand social justice and protest the high cost of living in Israel.
The protest action sparked a massive anti-regime movement, which swept Israel for several months.
The demonstrations rattled Netanyahu’s cabinet.
