A friendship between Germany and Israel didn't always seem natural.
I whole-heartedly believe that the land of Israel is ours in its entirety.
[Israeli citizens who marry Palestinians need to move to] the other side.
Specifically, in these days when brutal and murderous terrorism seeks to drive us apart, we must reiterate to ourselves – here, in the Knesset, in schools, in academia and in the halls of Torah study – that to be Jewish is democratic and democracy is Jewish. Only in this way can we know that brutal terrorism will not break us physically, or our spirit.
I believe that our democratic values are also born out of our Jewish faith, a 'love for the stranger,' and equality before the law - these are not foreign values: this is Judaism.
