A few dozen hilltop youth joined the tent city on Rothschild Boulevard Wednesday, erecting 15 tents on the corner of Allenby Street in central Tel Aviv.
The hilltop youth, a group of young people who were born in the settlements and who belong to the extreme right, appeared on Rothschild Boulevard wearing shirts with slogans such as "Tel Aviv is Jewish" and "Jews, let us be victorious."

Meir Butler, one of the hilltop youth leaders, told Haaretz, "We can came here to say 'yes' to the social protests, but to also say that there is a solution." The solution, he said, "is to build in Judea and Samaria."
Earlier on Wednesday, approximately 200 right-wing activists marched from Habima Square (http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/dairy-farmers-right-wing-activists-join-israel-housing-protest-1.376803), shouting, "No to bringing down the government, yes to solving the crisis."
The activists also said they want a solution to the housing crisis and called on the government to lower the price of basic products by 20 percent. Extremist Baruch Marzel also came to Rothschild Boulevard and spoke to some of the protesters.
The organizations that took part in the right-wing march included Im Tirzu, Zo Artzenu, Yisrael Sheli, Bnei Akiva, Ra'ananim, The Committee of South Tel Aviv Neighborhoods, and Yesha council representatives.
One of the activists said that the housing protest is "a wake up call" for the people and for the government, yet added that "there shouldn't be call for anarchy and to bring down the government."

Apparently they can't help but try to ruin a good thing.

Fucking right wingers always have to insert them into any social movement.

I hope the left calls them out.

I hope they do a little bit more than just call them out.

they where on tv here too, its pretty obvious they are trying to hijack this thing.
an settler spokesman was claiming that if just more settler houses would be build all the rents would get cheaper. Luckily someone else could explain that its in fact the all the subsidies that go to the settlers and all the costs for the protection they need that is pushing really heavy on the israeli budgets

End the crisis with more colonialism?

Good god, the right wing of every nation has really usurped the left's language to promote reactionary policies.
