Proselytism in Israel

The article says One tactic is to plaster posters asking Israelis to boycott shops where Messianic Jews are owners or employees; another is to report Messianic Jews to the Interior ministry, which is charged with enforcing an Israeli law forbidding proselytizing. However, per Religion in Israel: While missionary activity itself is not illegal in Israel, it is illegal to offer money or other material inducements. Legislation banning missionary work outright has been attempted in the past.

So is there "an Israeli law forbidding proselytizing"? a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 08:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The comma after the refs before "including" needs to be removed. 155.190.60.34 (talk) 02:22, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
