The Bnei Akiva movement has decided to join the nationwide protest against high housing prices. In a statement released Tuesday, movement leaders stressed their differences with left-wing protest organizers, saying, “[Our] organizers are right wing, and wish to express support with the social struggle without targeting individuals in the government.”
“Bnei Akiva feels that the tent protest has taken on a leftist and anti-government bent, and so has decided to join in a right-wing initiative and wave the Israeli flag, not the red flags being waved at the existing protest,” organizers said.
