Knesset Member Merav Michaeli (Labor) attacked former Minister Eli Yishai, who launched a campaign against single-gender parenting schemes.
"How much fear and hate must a person have to make such a campaign. It would be interesting what Eli Yishai would say if there was a campaign 'not to have a child with a Jewish father and a Jewish mother'. Anyone who acts against the equality of the gay community is a clear and immediate danger to the character of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state; they mustn't be allowed to run for Knesset."
