MK proposes bill banning sex offenders from receiving honors at public ceremonies
Amid the announcement that pedophile rabbi Eliezer Berland will be honored at a Lag B’Omer celebration in northern Israel, a Kulanu lawmaker is proposing legislation that will ban convicted sex offenders from participating in public ceremonies.
“It cannot be that Eliezer Berland, who was convicted of sexual offenses and did not express any remorse, lights a bonfire at an event funded by the state and the Ministry of Religious Services,” says Rachel Azaria in a statement explaining the legislation.
