'Tens of millions want to return to Judaism'

Rabbi Haim Amsalem discusses reports some 60 million people worldwide connected to Judaism or Israel. 'It scares the State of Israel.'

Former MK Haim Amsalem announces plans to run for Knesset with his Am Shalem party, after leaving Shas, Likud, and the Jewish Home.

"The equation is very simple: Hinder conversions, ease assimilation; ease conversions, hinder assimilation."

Am Shalem party looks likely to run again, adding to Shas party's headache by further splitting Sephardi-hareidi vote.

New party Am Shalem, led by former Shas MK, urges hareidim to contribute to the state.

MK Rav Haim Amsallem, who is running independently, says Shas decision is shameful.

MK Amsalem: only few hareidim deserve exemption from military or national service.

Shas maverick says hareidim who do not study Torah seriously should serve in police, Border Police.

MK Rabbi Chaim Amsalem, who recently quit Shas because of ideological differences, has started a new movement that might run in the next elections.

MK Chaim Amsalem (Shas) cites letters from a leading Sephardic Torah sage stating the need for Torah scholars to support themselves on their own.

Shas MK says there are so many anti-Semites in France that perpetrators of Drancy vandalism are like a needle in a haystack.
