A combination photo shows Alina (top), 24, homeless and voluntarily unemployed, at a tent camp on Rothschild Boulevard in south Tel Aviv on August 10, 2011, and her tent in the same camp on August 9, 2011. Alina is taking part in an ongoing protest against the high cost of living in Israel. When interviewed by Reuters, she said, "The protest is part of an ongoing process which started a few years ago in Israel. It calls for simplicity, for a focus on the important things in life. Running after money and materialism brought us to a dead end and I am here to be part of a change when it happens. Nothing external will take me away from the boulevard, the decision to stay or leave is a personal decision." Pictures taken August 9, 2011 and August 10, 2011.

Protesters take part in a demonstration calling for lower living costs and social justice in Tel Aviv September 3, 2011. Hundreds of thousands marched on Saturday for lower living costs in the largest such rally in Israel's history, bolstering a social change movement and mounting pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take on economic reform. Protest leaders called it "the moment of truth" for the grassroots movement that has swollen since July from a cluster of student tent-squatters into a countrywide mobilisation of Israel's middle class.

When asked why he was there, Kaspi said, "As someone who was in the centre of social uprisings in Israel in the 1970s, I came to support the fight for justice and equality. I came here also as I am facing a personal housing problem at the moment and I have nowhere else to go basically. As soon as winter comes, if that is what needs to be done, I'll build a little shelter and stay here as I have no other choice. This struggle has to take a more aggressive direction because from my experience nothing will change by sitting, talking and being nice, when it comes to protests about these types of matters and it doesn't get violent, it will fade away and go into the basket of history and nothing will really change."

When asked why they were there, Yotam Portnoi a member of the group said, "By being here we feel we encourage the dialogue between people about what is going on in our country. Our youth movement has a very strong social agenda and we decided to focus on the education problems while we at the camp because the education system in Israel has lost its values and ideologies. It has become a factory processing examination results. I see education as a tool that gives young people a fair chance and an equal starting point in life, from when they finish high school. By being so competitive and money orientated it misses the point. For good schooling in Israel these days you need to pay." Pictures taken August 9, 2011.

When asked why they were there, Yotam Portnoi, a member of the group, said, "By being here we feel we encourage the dialogue between people about what is going on in our country. Our youth movement has a very strong social agenda and we decided to focus on the education problems while we at the camp because the education system in Israel has lost its values and ideologies. It has become a factory processing examination results. I see education as a tool that gives young people a fair chance and an equal starting point in life, from when they finish high school. Being so competitive and money orientated it misses the point. For good schooling in Israel these days you need to pay." Picture taken August 9, 2011.
