Palestinian Rights Absent from Israeli Protest Demands

Protesters from Israel's social mass protests, known as J14, publish an unofficial list of demands, excluding Palestinian citizens of Israel.
=====
Last week an unofficial group of protesters released an 11 page
document to the media with a list of demands. The press conference was
held after five weeks of social protests in Israel as part of a movement that
started on July 14. While the document listed the end of privatization
policies as well as housing, education, health care, and taxation reforms,
it did not include previously discussed points about the rights of
Palestinian citizens of Israel that make up a fifth of the population. The
Real News' Lia Tarachansky teamed up with Ha'aretz journalist David
Sheen during last Saturday's protests to talk to demonstrators about why
in the fight for social justice they are avoiding speaking about equal rights
to all citizens of Israel, let alone the occupation of the Palestinian
territories. Tarachansky also interviewed +972 Magazine's Joseph Dana
and Muhammad Jabali, an activist who, part of the J14 movement, set up
protest tents in the mixed Israeli-Palestinian city of Yafa.

Israel is a Lunatic State... I boycott Israel.

Netanyahu is trying to brainwash us jews the same way Arab media brainwashes children with anti jewish poison. Don't you get it? 6 families control over a 40% of Israel's wealth. The wars make the govt power money. Time for Jews and Muslims to protect the values our holy books promote.

@14ALL41OK PALESTINE ISRAELI CONFLICT MUST BE SEEN IN THE TERMS OF WORLD WIDE JIHAD., IT NEEDS NOT TO KILL ME PERSONALY BUT FUELING CONFLICTS EVRYWHERE

It's a bit irrational to expect Israelis to suddenly show up in large numbers for the rights of Palestinians when they haven't done so for so many years, just because economic times are tough. Even if we can accurately show why relieving Palestinians helps Israelis' economic situation they are not going to see that connection. Their government doing more for Palestinian rights isn't doing more for them. Not directly. And if it isn't a short straight line, they won't see it. Nor care.

Israelis can now experience, but only to a tiny, tiny degree, how life is for Palestinians, for example in the occupied territories. An occupation since 63 years.

@nothingbutjustice But you are a prejudice facist right? I am more afraid of people like you than any Muslim. You need to get out and see the world more. Actually go and meet a real Muslim and you will see that the propaganda has corrupted your mind.
