Message | We support. |
Date | 07:39:17, June 28, 2010 CET | From | BDSP un Beys fun Yisserles-Binyomen | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | OOC: The Av Beit Din is secondary to the Nasi. A simple Wikipedia search could tell you that. |
Date | 07:45:05, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | This act is illegal and in clear and absolute violation of the Treaty of Poesy. There are no provisions for two Jewish kings and there are no provisions for the Commonwealth to be called anything other than what it is known now. The Commonwealth and the Empire's ability to act are restricted by the Treaty of Poesy. We urge the CZP not to act foolishly, breaches of the Treaty can lead to war and that is the very last thing we all want. Luthori could be willing to reexamine certain portions of the Treaty in the future however we again state this act is illegal and cannot pass. |
Date | 07:51:55, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | ADDENDUM: It is obvious that the two Jeiwsh "kings" are traitors to the Commonwealth and it would be beyond absurd to recognize their ridiculous claim. |
Date | 08:32:36, June 28, 2010 CET | From | BDSP un Beys fun Yisserles-Binyomen | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | The Jewish kings have since time immemorial been the leaders of the Jewish people. They do not deny the claim of Luthori to the government of Beiteynu, they only wish for recognition as the leaders of the Jewish people. What say you of the DSPB's proposal which more rightly respects Luthori. |
Date | 10:39:57, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | We are willing to discuss some sort of position for these Jewish "kings" with the DSPB and are not hostile to their recognition as religious leaders of the Jewish people. However, we wish to directly negotiate with the DSPB before such a bill is proposed to the Commonwealth Parliament. Thus, since the King-Emperor has not discussed these issues with the DSPB yet, we ask you please to oppose this bill so that we may work out an agreement which respects your wish to have Jewish religious leaders and which also is legal. |
Date | 12:03:51, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Am Echad, Pays Libre | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | We are willing to tone down our wishes as well. As we have been calling for a meeting on issues like this for a very long time. This was a wake up call, for Luthori to finally talk to us. |
Date | 18:49:23, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Christian Imperial Party | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | The CIP will not stand for this. George III rules by the grace of God over this nation and no man should take that away. Despite the attempts to strip him of his rights he will forever remain the religious and political leader of the Commonwealth. If disloyal politlical parties push us into a war with the Empire we will fight with the King-Emperor. |
Date | 20:12:40, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | The CZP arrogance's is certainly not welcome. Luthori has been willing to discuss with everyone for a long time. The CIP's loyalty was expected and will be rewarded. |
Date | 20:15:11, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Am Echad, Pays Libre | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | We have seen nothing done, and wanted action to be made quickly. We will vote no on this bill, and have a conference with you ASAP. In order to figure out the future of our people. |
Date | 21:49:57, June 28, 2010 CET | From | Bismarckian National Resistance (BNR) | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | The BNR must vote no for now because we were under the impression this was not against the Treaty of Poesy. As it is, we believe the best and most sensible option is to renegotiate with the CIL. The BNR would be glad to carry out/assist in the renegotiations if they are to take place. |
Date | 07:52:26, June 29, 2010 CET | From | Am Echad, Pays Libre | To | Debating the The United Malkut Act. |
Message | We will vote no, in order to begin descussion with the Luthoris. |
