A march of tens of thousands of "Israelis" took place in Tel Aviv Saturday, with thousands more gathering in al-Quds (Jerusalem), to call on the "Israeli" government to change its budgetary priorities and address social concerns.

The "Israeli" government spends 16 billion dollars a year on the military (18% of which is funded by the US), and many protesters that came out on Saturday believe that number is too high, and should be cut to provide for social programs.

Government subsidies for "Israeli" settlements in the West Bank were also questioned by some of the protesters.
