Pride celebrations in Tel Aviv drew record crowds this year.

Ruby Schwartz was at the parade and spoke to a group of people who blocked to protest it, refering to the Parade as pinkwashing.

Like on many other matters, the country is divided – many seeing Israel as an oasis for the LGBTI community in the Middle East, and many others believing the government uses the LGBTI community to improve its reputation while doing nothing to make their lives better.

Ruby takes us to this year’s Tel Aviv Pride, and shares with us the diverse opinions from Tel Aviv we often don’t get to hear.
