Israel - where everyone has an opinion and its never what you would expect

One of the things I love about the Israeli state is that its' people are a constant source of surprise and a surprising diversity of opinion. This Ynet News article illustrates nicely what I mean:

Ynet, Smith Institute poll shows 58 percent of Israelis support same-sex couples, including their right to raise children, while 19 percent say they would want to revoke right of same-sex couples to raise children, but add that these couples should ‘lived as they see fit’; 50 percent of traditional Israelis, 16 percent of religious Israelis open to idea of same-sex couples that are able to raise their children, survey says

I could be wrong but I don’t think that same sex marriage has hit the 58% mark of support among Canadians where same sex marriage is legal. Besides Israel is one of the few countries in the world who actually report what Canadian politicians say but I don’t think Iggy should expect a warm welcome if he should decide to visit in the near future.
