  SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS

 

 Today’s article all deal with the current socio-economic protests throughout Israel.

 

 Yediot Ahronot argues that, „As far as Benjamin Netanyahu is concerned, the protests in Beersheba, in Ofekim and in Bat-Yam are more dangerous to his political future than the encampments on Rothschild and Nordau boulevards. If the ‘white panthers’ from Rothschild Boulevard convince the residents of Kiryat Malachi, Shlomi and Or-Akiva that their situation is also bad, and will likely worsen – ‘He’s finished’.”

 

Ma’ariv‘s author proclaims, „It is difficult be optimistic at the age of 85, but I am optimistic. I am optimistic! Optimistic because of the great masses who showed-up in the most beautiful city [Haifa] in the Middle East. I am optimistic when I see young men and women with determination, but above all with desire not only to demand change, but also to make change. What is happening here is a miracle.”

 

Yisrael Hayom relating to the use of numbers by the media to portray the socio-economic protests, scathingly inquires, „And what about the number of restaurant goers and those at hotels?” The author elucidates, „Not that there is no reason to protest. But the attempt to paint it only in black is a terrible distortion of the reality and untruthful.”
