| Message | This bill is trying to take away power from the people: We have given millions of people the opportunity to own shares and by trying to renationalize it the Leftist only give power back to the state. Beiteynu does not watn radical leftism. Julius Süß Oppenheimer, Rav Aluf and interim Prime Minister |

| Message | Also, allow me to add that roughly half of our population is at least unitarist-leaning or big government leaning, so I suppose that would debunk your rash assessment of what our people want. What I do know is that your party bled over 300 seats last election, so the people must not want whatever the CYP has to offer.\ -Shimon Sheraga |

| Message | Dear Mr Sheraga, I am not member of the CYP nor of any other party. I am chief of the army and police without any political prefrence whatsover. However, as Beiteynu is even in its constitution a conservative nation, the military will not step in as long as the conservative nation is not threatened. As soon as a new government has been formed I will immidiately step back and releived that now the Knesset consists out of more then just one party. However a party with just 14% of the vote is surely not in the position to lecture a party just short of an overall majority. Julius Süß Oppenheimer, Rav Aluf and interim Prime Minister |
