"I spoke to my friends and they told me I was not alone. Many others have experienced that too. So I asked what could have been done about that and I was advised to stage a demonstration," he recalls.
Soaring Prices
"If it was only high prices on fuel, I would have understood this explanation. But it is virtually everywhere. We are paying so many taxes, and this is something the government can dramatically reduce."
Hope for a Better Future
"In France, when prices went up, the entire country was on its feet. Here, Israelis are good at venting their anger on Facebook, not on the ground," explains Shor. "This is not the way we can solve the crisis. We need to keep this protest alive in the headlines. If it continues to be relevant, politicians will finally do something."
"All I want is to live in Israel with dignity. I don't want to move from the city I currently live in, I don't want to rely on the assistance of my parents. And I am not losing hope that this can be achieved one day. If it doesn't happen, I will need to re-route. I will probably need to leave but this is the last resort."
