Israelis Move To Outlaw Payoffs For Conversion
In Jerusalem the new law criminalizes paying or receiving money to convert to Christianity, provoking protests from Christian leaders who warn it could strain Israel’s ties with its 80 000 Christian residents. Rabbis and activists dispute enforcement and scope, while anti mission groups and interfaith figures clash over the measure and its effect on religious freedom and education. A separate Labor Department note reports 4.6 million Americans hold second jobs, up 5 percent from last year.
