"What do you prefer more: Israel as a Jewish nation or Israel as a democratic nation? It's like choosing between your father and your mother."

As a part of Hiddush's video blog series following the 2013 GA panel on freedom of marriage, this week we are providing you with more of MK Nitzan Horowitz's comments on a Jewish and Democratic Israel and the need for civil marriage for all Israelis.

MK Horowitz from the Meretz party is the only openly-gay member of the Knesset and an adamant advocate for LGBTQ rights and the struggle for freedom of marriage, including same-sex marriage. During the panel, he emphasized that any solution to Israel's marriage crisis must include equal options and rights for same-sex couples.
