Thursday evening to mark International Workers Day.</big></big></p>

<p><big><big>Carrying red flags and banners from numerous
left-wing parties, the demonstrators marched from
Habima Square to Meir Park shouting slogans against
"shilton hahon," or "the money regime" in English.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Hadash MK Dov Henin, who was among the
demonstrators, carried a sign calling on the
government to raise the minimum wage to NIS 30 per
hour.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Opposition leader Isaac Herzog (Labor) wished
workers a happy May 1 in a blog post on a
Labor-affiliated website.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>"In recent years in Israel, this date once
again became a symbol of the battle of working
people," Herzog wrote. "They saw the unwritten pact
between them and the government, that if they
contribute to society and work hard they can live in
dignity, break." Herzog also praised the recent wave
of new unions being formed "from Pelephone to Domino
Pizza." "They refuse to accept the existing situation
and are fighting for their conditions. They are
determined, full of ideology and are inspiring. This
is their day and I salute them," he added.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Meretz hosted a screening of the documentary
"The Seven Circles of Hell in Public Housing" in Meir
Park in Tel Aviv Thursday night.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>"We've become a society of castes and classes,"
MK Ilan Gilon (Meretz) lamented.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Gilon added: "One line connects hundreds of
thousands of workers and the thousands waiting for
public housing, who demand to exercise their right to
a roof over their heads. We want to bring the state
back from real estate tycoons and manpower company
pimps to the citizens, its real owner." MK Dov Henin
(Hadash), who led the march to raise minimum wage,
said that in 2014, marking the first of May is as
relevant as ever.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Hanin listed the many goals of the march: "We
want the people who live here to really be able to
live here, for the working man to have a roof over his
head, for the elderly not to have to choose between
food and medicine, for women to have equal pay, for
workers to be employed by and receive their rights
from their workplace [as opposed to manpower
companies], that people won't be discriminated against
because they're Arabs or handicapped or gay or over
40, and that the government's money will be invested
in raising minimum wage and poor neighborhoods instead
of bombs and settlements.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>"There is nothing old or irrelevant about
demanding that men and women living here now have a
future of equality and peace," he added.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Meanwhile, the New Liberal Movement held a
memorial service for the victims of socialism and
communism, titled "Remembrance Day for 100 Million
Murdered" in Tel Aviv.</big></big></p>
<p><big><big>Boaz Arad, one of the New Liberal Movement's
founders, said "when facing those who glorify some of
the worst perpetrators of genocide in history, we need
to remember the tens of millions who all they did was
live under red flags and suffered from the biggest
social experiment ever. The first of May should be a
memorial day."</big></big><br>
