Last night there was a huge demonstration of the self-employed at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv. Thousands of protesters, protesting about humanity's injury to their livelihoods, have called on the government to "get together."

"My business is a decades-long business," said weeping father Avinoam Nice, father of five, and an incoming tourism company owner. "On March 12, everything was erased - everyone was sacked, the offices closed and the door closed. All the tourists in the tourism industry have no horizon. I don't want our livestock to go down the drain. My sense that if we don't have food we will go down below any threshold in the world, the area is burning. Don't you understand that? The ground is burning. We want the money now. We're not remorseful. "
