| Message | This is a Jewish Homeland, not a Christian state, the bible does not guide Jews any more than the Qu'ran does. The Jewish Robots take offense to your blasphemy. Furthermore, we agree with the stances of Mizrachi Ligat. |

| Message | Well if you didn't know you brainless robots, the old testament is part of the bible. Also your party has broken lots of laws that should make you reprehensible! |

| Message | I am sorry for my last statement |
| Date | 08:42:16, October 16, 2007 CET | From | Robotic Anarcho Syndicalistic Party | To | Debating the Moral Issues |
| Message | "While we are aware that parts of the old testament do constitute the Torah and other doctrines, this does not make the bible a valid source for Judaism, any more than it is for Islam. The Qu'ran has portions similar to the old testament, should we government ourselves by it too? We may have broken laws of the Torah, but that does not justify anyone else repeating our mistakes. Furthermore, we have already established that we are Jewish men inside robot costumes, and we wish to remind all of that. We accept CZP's apology for their rash statement." Representation Unit 001 |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
