Shas proposes bill to forbid evangelism
Shas declared war on missionaries on Tuesday when the Sephardic ultra-Orthodox party proposed a bill stating that anyone attempting to convert Jews should be imprisoned.
Shas views missionaries as not only people who come from abroad and evangelize, but any person or religions sharing their faith in an attempt to especially convert Jews.
Margi proposed that those preaching conversion should be imprisoned for one year.
“Whether it’s Christians coming from abroad or Jewish converts working in Israel, they all have the same agenda – to destroy every trace and memory of the people of Israel, and they plan to do this by converting Jews,” the proposal read. “These bodies are operating mainly among the Jewish population which is under physical, social and spiritual distress.”
