Last month, an award-winning book was banned from the Israeli school curriculum by Naftali Bennet from the Education Ministry.

Borderlife (Gader Haya, in Hebrew) , is about the love affair between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man.

Mr Bennett stated that "intimate relations between Jews and non-Jews are a threat to our separate identity" but Time Out Tel Aviv disagrees and this week published a video of Israelis and Palestinians kissing.

The video features six straight and gay couples, some of whom were already friends, and some who had never met.
