Avigdor Lieberman Puts The Housing Protests Into Perspective

How bad is the "tent protests" against the housing crisis?

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman described it thusly:

Housing protests? In Europe they are saying that we have the problems of rich people. Look at the crises in Europe, look at the economic difficulties being experienced in the United States.
