Two far-left activists were arrested on suspicion of setting fire to a housing protest tent set up by right-wing activists in Tel Aviv on Thursday.
Police said a verbal confrontation developed between the suspects and those who had set up the tent on the corner of Sderot Rothschild and Rehov Allenby.
Following the argument, "two youths in their 20s set the tent on fire, and assaulted a photographer on the scene," a Tel Aviv police spokeswoman said.
The suspects fled the scene, but were soon captured by officers from the Lev Tel Aviv police station and arrested.
This is not what it's about - this should not be a left-right thing or even a religious-secular thing. All sectors of the population are suffering under the burden of high housing food and utility costs. Hopefully this incident will prove to be the exception.

This affects all sectors of the population and as a democratic country everyone has a right to be and will be heard. |

"The idea of torching a tent with people inside is shocking," said a member of the movement. "The very idea of one of the activists belonging to Anarchists Against the Wall would do such a thing is preposterous. These are groundless, slanderous accusations" That kind of pyromaniac protest is the modus operandi of the Jewish terrorists in the occupied territories.

Maybe they need T-shirts that say "Auslander Raus!" Oh, there is one with something like that. |

Since Baruch Marzel and his mob of Kahana fascists only went to the tent city to try and cause problems (racist and homophobic changing, for instance) - probably sent by the far right government as agents provocateurs - it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that they were the ones who started the fire and attacked the photographer. They do have form in being violent with a pyromanic tendency. Just look at the Price Tag Jewish terrorists. That's their MO.
Also the organisers, a group of middle class professionals, asked marzels fascists to leave because of the provocations they were causing. Everyone is welcome at the protest, just not the settlers and the other fascists who caused the economic crisis for the middle and working classes in the first place.
