No idea what you’re talking about.

Israel protects freedom of religion in the Holy Land and openly welcomes Christians, and for that matter, Druze, Bedouins, Muslims, Buddhists, Mormons, and all the rest...they just protect their citizens from missionary work.

That is to say, organized missionary work meant to coerce people away from their current religion is banned. If you know anything about history, and the Jewish diaspora, it’s easy to understand why.

I am unaware of any Chritian missionary work in the entire world "meant to coerce people". Seems to me one has to be pretty insecure in their faith to feel need to prevent others from discussing theirs.
