| Message | Ma'vak's opinion is completely distorted and overnationalistic. I think we need a little more modesty when it comes to decision making instead of overexagerating and attempting to stir emotions. |

| Message | "One is necessary to ensure we are given sovereignty over punishing those that committ a crime in Beiteynu, we should not have to ship them off to somewhere else where they may be given a punishment not fitting the crime they carried out against the Jewish Homeland. As for six this goes hand in hand with state media ownership and we cannot drop either, we can however consider dropping article two." -- Josef Nehushtan |
