Most days I would just smile or maybe even like this picture. But with all that's happening in Israel these past few weeks I find it both infuriating and frustrating. Our country is now in turmoil regarding the LGBT members' rights to using surrogacy as a viable solution to becoming parents and on the other hand the new law defining Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish people while disregarding all others.
Looking at this picture one can see enormous hatred or total ignorance and a closer look shows a poster with the commandment Thou shalt not covet.
That may suggest an edited picture, but with my deep understanding of the religious sectors here I believe it is genuine. Because the sad truth is, there is one thing in common with most of our society, and that is ignorance, which of course goes both ways.
I choose to see ignorance and still hope there is a chance for change and that we're not taking the same road Europe took 70 years ago.
