Jerusalem - MK Yaakov Litzman (Yahadut Hatorah) has proposed
an amendment calling for up to 10 years in prison for anyone refusing to either
work or do business with Haredi Jews.
ARUTZ SHEVA 7 is
reporting that Litzman’s proposal would add more specific language to existing
criminal codes aimed at combatting discrimination, including a clause stating
that there is a “prohibition on boycotting due to religion or boycotting Haredi
Jews.”
In issuing his proposal, Litzman hinted that such a law
would have applied to the existing government during its formation, saying that
Haredis were purposely excluded solely based on religion.
Litzman said that adding the term “boycott,” the Haredi
name, and the possible prison term in the “definition” of the law, would help
prevent future offense.
