| Message | Firstly, Article 1 would prevent some Yeudis from returning to their homeland. For that reason this bill is completely intolerable and must be voted down. Secondly, we should be a nation that helps humanity, not hinders it. Articles 2 and 3 are just as awful as Article 1. Yitzhak Rosenfeld, Leader of Hakla'ut VePituah |

| Message | I echo the concerns raised by Yitzhak Rosenfeld. Beiteynu is blessed by Elyon (OOC: God) and has a mission to make Terra a better place. We cannot do that if we deny charity to those who are suffering, and turn away Yeudis from entering their natural homeland. Yissakhar Levine Leader of Brit Yeudish |

| Message | Why shouldn't we get something for our foreign aid contributions and this racial supremacy being afforded to Yeudis will one day cause chaos and certainly can't be used to excuse immigration 'refugee' fraud . I am a Yeudi myself but I think the racialist attitude of the HP and BY are dangerous to racial and ethnic harmony. Moshe Visner Chairman of LL |

| Message | It is not "racial supremacy" it is simply the principle and fact that Beiteynu is the homeland for Yeudis. Miflega Libralim are about the least patriotic, most anti-Beiteynu party to participate in our political system. Yitzhak Rosenfeld, Leader of Hakla'ut VePituah |

| Message | Myself and Mr. Rosenfeld support the principles of the Yeudi Homeland not because we hate non-Yeudis, but because we recognise the special need for a safe haven for Yeudis in a Terra that is often hostile towards them. Our motive is a humanitarian one. Yissakhar Levine Leader of Brit Yeudish |
