Guy Nattiv Talks ‘Golda’ Launch In Israel As Biopic Takes On Fresh Relevance Amid Judicial Reform Protests

HistoryIsrael’s child adoption law passed in 1960 and uses a narrow definition of a couple.The adoption law (Clause 3) states that “adoption shall not take place except for by a man and his wife together.”There are exceptions. “The courts are permitted to grant an adoption order for a single parent whose partner adopted a child or if the child’s parents died and the single parent in question is a relative of the child,” The Jerusalem Post reported.In 2017 two couples, backed by The Israeli Association for the LGBTQ Community, The Israel Religious Action Center, the Gay Dads movement, the Agudah – The Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel, Open House for Pride, and Tolerance in Jerusalem, petitioned the government and the High Court to allow same-sex couples to adopt.As a response, the state argued that same-sex families were “exceptional” and could “overburden the child.” This resulted in a significant public outcry, and the state backtracked, acknowledging that the law discriminated against same-sex couples and promising to amend it.In 2019, then-Justice Minister Amir Ohana proposed a new bill to address this discrimination, but it failed to advance.The petitioners then moved to the High Court.

But they are not so worried about Jews.”Baddiel has previously spoken about non-Jewish actors playing Jewish characters in film and TV productions.In an opinion piece published in The Guardian last year, Baddiel discussed Maureen Lipman’s comments that Helen Mirren should not play former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir in the 2023 film Golda because she isn’t Jewish.Baddiel wrote at the time: “Casting a non-minority actor to mimic that identity feels, to the progressive eye, like impersonation, and impersonation may carry with it an element of mockery.”The real-life Oppenheimer was the child of two Jewish immigrants.
