A combination picture shows Shai Dagan, 42, a soundman, and his tent at a tent camp in south Tel Aviv, part of an ongoing protest against the high cost of living in Israel, August 19, 2011. When asked why he was there Dagan said, "I see this protest as something in the core of Israeli society. Financially life here is just too difficult. The fight to make a living even for people who have a decent job creates a lot of side effects in terms of daily interactions between people and between people towards the system. People are bitter and angry in a country that is rich but the people are poor. Even in months when I get work every day I can't make more than a very basic living and that means something is wrong here." The sign reads: "A land that devours its inhabitants".
