Israel is for liberals

Tablet Magazine (online) ran a story showing Israel to be a liberal's dreamland.  While the mainstream news is dominated by stories of the Obama administration clashing with the Netanyahu government over housing in Har Homa, another picture of Israel emerges from the stories of Gili Shem Tov and the Israeli Health Ministry's approach to medical marijuana.  Shem Tov is a sports reporter on Israeli TV and openly lesbian. She is also now the first competitor on any country's version of Dancing With the Stars, to dance in a same sex couple.  The Health Ministry is considering paying for marijuana for medical use for Israelis in the national universal medical coverage.
