1. The state of Israel must not allow businesses to work on Sha
(02.11.18)
The state of Israel must not allow businesses to work on Shabbat. The state of Israel must punish with death penalty every business owner who puts his business to work on Shabbat, because it is written in the Torah, in Exodus 31:14-15, that God said that everyone who makes work on Shabbat must be condemned to death. This applies also to the non-Jews, because it is written in the Torah, in Exodus 12:49 and in Numbers 15:15-16, that there must be one law to the sons of Israel and to the stranger who resides among them, and it is written in the Torah, in Exodus 20:8-11 that God commanded that the stranger also do not work on Shabbat.

The state of Israel must not be a secular state, because it is written in the Torah, in Exodus 19:5-6 that Israel made a pact with God, to be His people, and to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, so that the state of Israel must be a holy state, a theocracy, and the supreme law of the state of Israel is the Written Torah, that is in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh).

If the owner of the business in which you work puts his business to work on Shabbat, you are not free to keep the Shabbat, you are obligated to work on Shabbat, if not you will be fired. So, if the state of Israel allows businesses to work on Shabbat, the Jews who live in Israel will no more be able to practice Judaism in Israel, and so Israel will cease to be a Jewish state.
2. To protest they obviously don't have work on the Sabbath

Obviously those that are protesting don't have to go to work on this day. It is a shame they want other to in some cases be forced to work if business is open and yet all they think it is about is religious fanatics when they themselves have the day off.

4. #1 Do you understand Torah?
Tova   (02.12.18)
GOD said Shabbat is a day of rest. Business should be closed. No one should work. It is a day of rest also the earth to replenish. For those businesses who open on Shabbat it is their conscience to obey or disobey GOD. It does not allow punishment or death to those to do not keep the Shabbat.

GOD said all must rest. Man Women Child, The Servant The Animals and the Land must rest. When business is open on Shabbat there is no rest.

It is not written in Torah to punish or kill anyone.
