More than 1,000 people rallied in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv, Israel calling for the legalization of cannabis and the easing of restrictions on medical marijuana.
The Saturday night rally featured right-wing politician Moshe Feiglin of the Likud Party, who sang the song "Ani Ve'ata" by Arik Eichman, which has the lyrics "You and I will change the world," reports JTA.
Feiglin, along with Tamar Zandberg of the liberal Meretz Party, are introducing a bill in the Knesset that would legalize marijuana in Israel and ease access to it for medicinal use.
Feiglin spoke in the Knesset last week about his wife's battle with Parkinson's disease.
Many seriously ill Israelis have difficulty getting access to medical marijuana.
