The “July 14″ movement started when a group of young Israelis camped at the heart of Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv, in protest of the rising housing costs. Tent camps then appeared in every major city in Israel. J14 is made of many Israeli Palestinian citizens who protest for equality and social justice. The protest began with students mainly from the middle and upper classes against the cost of housing in Tel Aviv, but as it broadened, the protest began to take up the issues of working conditions, homeless, refugees and immigrant workers as well as discriminations towards Arab people within Israel.
