| Message | "The core values of the GJA appear to be the persecution of the synagogue and other religious institutions, as well as an attempt to undermine their charitable efforts. In addition article 6 denies the foreign affairs ministry a key aspect of diplomatic relations. We could support articles 7 and 10, however will not support this bill." -Avraham Sharet |

| Message | What is a Jew with out God. It is like a Christian with out Christ. You have no right to call yourselves Jews! --Nesí Hamdiná David Stevens |
| Date | 19:13:07, March 15, 2008 CET | From | New Socialist Agenda | To | Debating the GJA Establishment - 2.26.2546.AD |
| Message | "CZP: Unlike the word "Christian," the word "Jew" can be applied to someone who is ethnically Jewish as well as someone is religiously Jewish - or both. By the genetic code instilled in our cells we can call ourselves Jews. We, as ethnic Jews, just like you, have the same ancestry, and therefore are just as Jewish as you are. To call us non-Jewish would be just as stupid as saying that you, as Christians, are not Jewish. We the GJA are merely the Jews of tomorrow. HLT: To deny audience to anyone is foolish, ESPECIALLY our enemies. You must listen to your enemies if you are to truly defeat them. Thank both parties for your comments, however much we disagree with them. It is greatly appreciated." -Raamiah Golgenstrick, Chairman of GJA |

| Message | "We understand Mr. Golgenstrick point, however it is a fact that some nations will only use land in Beiteynu to do us harm. If we believe a nation seeks an embassy only to promote espionage or illegal activities, we should have the power to refuse them the privelage of n embassy." -Avraham Sharet |
