and so since there's so many jews in Israel, why would they outlaw speaking Jesus name?
I thought Jesus is a jew???
that doesn't add up.
They are sick of Christians. That's the bottom line. They are sick and tired of all the proselytizing.
A bill was put forward earlier this year to outlaw Evangelicals from the practice in Israel, which would have made it illegal to try to convert Jews to Christianity. It got shut down, but expressed a growing sentiment.
The bill was introduced in January by a pair of ultra-Orthodox Jewish lawmakers, including Moshe Gafni, who heads the parliament’s Finance Committee. It says soliciting someone to convert their faith should be punishable by one year in prison and solicitation to convert a minor would be punishable with a two-year sentence.
“Recently, the attempts of missionary groups, mainly Christians, to solicit conversion of religion have increased,” it said.
The bill was never advanced, but it drew widespread attention in the American evangelical world this week after All Israel News, an evangelical news site, reported on it.
