Description[?]:
| "Our pre occupation with the War with Pontesi has allowed us to ignore the anti-religious fascists creeping up to our own border. Barmenistan has a large Jewish population, and we must bring in measures to show our support of them in the face of this religious ban, and we must live up to our promise to be a Homeland for the Jewish people." -Nesí Hamdiná Moshe Ne-anyahu Article 1: Re-affirming that in our current refugee law, 'victims of extreme circumstances' is defined as any ethnic or religious Jew. Article 2: Barmenistan Jews shall be granted high priority for places in any new government built Gated community. Article 3: Barmenistan Jews shall be granted high priority for places in low income government houses. Article 4: The Knesset condemns in the strongest possible terms the immoral religious ban in Barmenistan. |

| Message | The PPP dissents with the first three Articles, but of course fully supports the fourth. Coincidently, we are appaled at our own irrational religious laws. |

| Message | "You would not support removing people from persecution for their beliefs? How odd." -Moše Zorin |

| Message | It is not the aiding of these refugees with which the PPP dissents, but the fact that they are overemphasized due to their adherence to a particular religious and cultural doctrine. If they need aid (in grants, loans, temporary housing, etc.), it should be given, and such aid would have our full support; however, such aid should be given to all peoples, not merely Jewish ones. |

| Message | This is a Jewish homeland! Like it or lump it. |

| Message | "So because a programme to help some does not help all, it should be disregarded? I suspect you are adhering far to closely to the principle of equality, if it means hurting everyone because you can only help some. The reality is we cannot help everyone; and as the CZP has said, this is a Jewish Homeland. It is our duty to look out for the Jewish people first, in the same way every nation looks after its nationals first." -Moše Zorin |
