| Date | 19:43:48, August 05, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Voice of Reason Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2439 |
| Message | The reason we are voting no is Article 1. We prefer it to stay the way it is. We believe that Military Police in our streets is unwarranted. The Budget, while not completely to our liking, is fine. |
| Date | 19:07:50, August 06, 2007 CET | From | Ha'ganat Ha'aretz | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2439 |
| Message | Though a strong military is a key piece of our national identity, using it in a domestic setting is unwarranted and inhumane. |
| Date | 23:24:18, August 06, 2007 CET | From | Pharaoh's People's Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2439 |
| Message | The use of the military in cases of civilian domestic problems is occasionally needed, and simply promotes lawful behavior. |
| Date | 23:31:20, August 06, 2007 CET | From | HaLeumit Tikvah | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2439 |
| Message | We are glad the PPP sees the sense in this bill, but we must inquire who this mysterious 'Pharaoh' character is, and who are these new 'Egyptian' people who support him? |
