The Democratic Choice (Hebrew: בחירה דמוקרטית, Bekhira Demokratit) was a political party in Israel. Between 1999 and 2006, it was the name of a faction led by Roman Bronfman, which was associated with Meretz.[2] In 2020 the party was revived for five days by Yair Golan.

Another secessionist group, the left-wing and anti-clerical faction of Roman Bronfman and Alexander Zinker, left Yisrael B'Aliya shortly after the May 1999 elections, and in August 1999 announced the establishment of Habehira Hademocratit party.
