I'm pretty sure they ban proselytizing, and they have some land laws that you can phrase in a way that makes them look pretty bigotted.

The laws are pretty evenhanded on the books as far as I know; the complaints center around the application of the law or the works of the Jewish Agency, a semi-public group that purchases land specifically for Jewish settlement. However, it's not against the law for Jews to sell land to anybody they like, as far as I know. I'm sure if there were any laws we would have heard about them.

There is no law against proselytizing either. I have seen reports in the paper where Jewish parents complain about Christian proselytizers bothering their children. It is not illegal to convert either.
