Rally rage: Israelis back on streets demanding change

Discontent in Israel is showing no sign of abating, with hundreds of thousands of people protesting in Tel Aviv. One square has already been dubbed by some as the “Israeli Tahrir,” drawing parallels with the Egyptian revolution.

Saturday night’s anti-government protests, among the largest ever, were staged in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and a number of cities around the country.

Some 300,000 people are expected to take part, and there is a heavy police presence.
Protesters are holding up banners with slogans like “The people demand social justice,” and “People are taking back the country.”
