Video: Israeli official bans a Jewish-Arab love story, here’s a magazine’s response
January 12, 2016
Israel’s conservative, right-wing, education minister recently removed a novel about forbidden love between an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian Muslim from the official reading list.
Dorit Rabinyan’s book, Borderline, which tells the love story of an Israeli Jewish woman and a Palestinian Muslim man, was removed form a list of recommended reading for an advanced high school literature course.
Disagreeing with the minister, Isreal’s TimeOut Tel Aviv magazine decided to make a video showing six young couples kissing for the first time.
The couples included Jews, Arabs, straight and gay persons.
