| Message | "We believe that the definition if a Jewish person is already defined in the Right of Return Laws. Moreover we object to the exclusion of ethnic Jews on the basis that they are non-believers, as secularism is their right, and do not see Messianic Jews as Jews unless they are ethnically Jewish, since they are followers of Christ and therefore Christians who follow our customs, in the same way the Ebionites in Barmenistan do. For those reasons we vote no." -Avraham Sharet |

| Message | "We are a bit sad and disappointed that the CZP would attempt to exclude Atheist Jews from being considered Jews. It is obviously based on an aspect of religion, but this is a bit hypocritical as Christian Jews are not religiously Jewish either. However, just as we see ourselves as Jewish, we see all Christian Jews as Jewish as well. We see anyone that is ethnically Jewish or who follows the Jewish faith to be a Jew. Let's also not forget that many of the greatest Jewish scientists, professors and teachers, politicians, lawyers, and so forth have been Atheists. Is this how you repay their service to the Jewish race?" -Raamiah Golgenstrick, Chairman of GJA |
