| Message | No! Outlaw child labour in all its forms. The sick people who must currently be running the Likud and Kadima parties should take a good look at themselves, then at their ten year old kids, and see if they want them to work in a factory somewhere already. |

| Message | Ummmm... I am going to vote yes just because of what labor party just said... Actually, I am going to stick with no, but I do support child labor... |

| Message | Yes, but child labour is also delivering newspapers each morning before school or doing gardening for the elderly lady across the street. I think it’s kind of sad that the Labour Party would deprive children of an income and the work experience. |
| Date | 04:18:02, February 03, 2006 CET | From | Habonim Dror | To | Debating the Child Labor Prohibition Act 2180 |
| Message | We will ban this pernicious practice as soon as possible. In the meantime it is better to regulate it more. |
| Date | 15:56:06, February 03, 2006 CET | From | The party formerly known as Likud | To | Debating the Child Labor Prohibition Act 2180 |
| Message | Sorry Sancta, but not everyone has the luxury of giving their children both an education and supporting themselves, Even if education is free, what does that have to do with putting food on the table? Every little bit counts. I think Labor should look act itself, before casting any stones. |
