"Personal Freedom" Is Being Challenged – Govt in Jeopardy

NETANYAHU:  "We will ensure that there will be no infringement on the rights of ANY citizen of Israel.” 

That is EXACTLY What the MK is Proposing. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LEGISLATION IS ABOUT, NOT FORCING SOMEONE TO GO AGAINST THEIR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE. NO ONE SHOULD BE "FORCED TO COMPLY" WITH ANYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST THEIR PERSON

NETANYAHU: This is not against anyone but the person who does not want to comply with a LG++++++++++ request; they can go elsewhere!!

UPDATE BELOW

Otzma Yehudit party chairman MK Itamar Ben-Gvir called Friday for the passage of legislation enshrining religious liberty and offering exemptions from anti-discrimination laws.

Speaking with Kan Bet Friday morning, Ben-Gvir defended the Religious Zionist Party – which ran on a joint list with Otzma Yehudit and the Noam faction in the November election – from criticism after it was revealed that the RZP had pushed for the inclusion of a religious liberty bill in its coalition agreement with the Likud.

The proposed legislation would protect business owners who decline to offer services due to their personal religious beliefs. Ben-Gvir lauded RZP chief MK Bezalel Smotrich for insisting on the inclusion of the religious liberty clause in the coalition agreement.

“I want to congratulate my friend Smotrich for demanding – and getting – this.”

Smotrich pushed for the inclusion of the religious liberty clause in the coalition agreement after a Beersheba printing house owner was fined after he declined to accept a commission to print flyers for a gay pride parade. 

We’re talking about this print shop [operator] in Beersheba who was asked to print flyers for the gay pride march, and he said ‘I don’t want to.’ Then all of the sudden, the court slaps him with a fine. Are we sane? What happened to personal freedom? The right of a person over his own business?” Ben-Gvir added that he would support the use of a religious liberty exemption to allow businesses to decline to offer services for causes he supports.

“Absolutely. If I want to print flyers for a flag march, and the print shop owner tells me he doesn’t want to do it, or ‘I don’t agree,’ that’s his right. The Left talks about democracy, but behaves like it’s the greatest dictatorship there ever was.”

Further clarification:
Netanyahu has it backwards, it’s not on “race” as both parties would be Jewish. It’s on morality, and everyone has the responsibility to NOT condone OR to join with. G-d will judge accordingly.
The division is either “private business” or “Public and State sponsored” of an entity whether to permit or no
t permit. Woe to the state.

Well, proof positive - the 'medina' is another 'mini' artzot habrit.
This is because all these 'western' countries are now part of the global tumah.
Of course, how Yisrael fits into 'western' is a question in itself. H' Yerachem. Just
hoping that Ben G'vir and Smotrich, etc. hold fast and tight to Torah & H' will be with them.

It's only democracy if the left wins or it aligns with the left's agenda. I, as a private business owner, have the right to refuse any customer without need to explain. This is my right. It's my business. I turned down a request to write something about the toieva month. It was a risk, but for me, it was more important to stand with HKBH. Thank God, they were understanding, and the matter was dropped.
