Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Reuven Rivlin this morning tells a visiting delegation of the Montreal Jewish Federation that Israel is both fully Jewish and democratic.
“Today, the State of Israel is a proud democracy, and I can assure you, there is no gap between Israel as a Jewish state and as a democratic state,” he tells the delegation in Jerusalem.
“There is no gap and there will be no gap in the future,” he adds, “the State of Israel is not just a place, it is an idea: the dream that the State of Israel would be part of the lives of all Jews.”
