Rivlin: Some Israelis favor State's Jewish nature above democracy
Knesset Speaker Rueven Rivlin criticized calls not to rent apartments to Arabs Tuesday. "Sadly there are those who favor the State's Jewish nature above democracy, but these two identity aspects cannot be separated," he said,.
Speaking at the Knesset plenum during the Jewish Identity Day he noted that a Jewish law advisor has started working for the Knesset, a step which he said will enhance the Jewish aspect in legislation. (Roni Sofer)
