I hope your strategic retirement is going well you are missed around these parts.

This question is for the Avocat-Xheneral @M:sr Pôl dal Nordselvă, D.Div, M.Ed

Mr. A-X, a few months ago you mentioned conducting a review of statutory and Organic laws for opportunities at streamlining. What updates are there in your review?

Mr. Speaker,

I am disappointed to see that for the second or third time the A-X has missed a terpelaziun reply deadline. I would respectfully request a reply from the A-X @M:sr Pôl dal Nordselvă, D.Div, M.Ed and would also notify the Speaker @Munditenens Tresplet of this regrettable situation. :(

I want to be accommodating, so I'll make it easier for the minister.  Rather than anyone's narrative, including mine, let's really just look at the numbers visualized.

Can the minister officially confirm that this chart is accurate?

Unfortunately, while I've read the book, I'm not sure I'll be able to participate in the discussion. I'm hesitant to commit to it just because the start of the year is a busy time for a history teacher, and I wouldn't want to miss something I committed to.

That said, I also would love to chime in if I can. Is it okay if I audit, so to speak?

Estimat Túischac'h, I feel the Senator from Fiova might be interested to learn that:

1) 6% of the global population of Palestinians are Christians;
2) Muslims recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah as promised in the Old Testament ("son of God" is a totally different issue)

Quote from: GV on September 11, 2025, 06:09:01 AMI want the Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace.  And not just physical peace.  This will only happen when both sides recognize the Jesus Christ of the Old and New Testaments as Messiah. 

Seriously?

S:reu:

I do not consider this to be responsive to my question, but rather a refusal to answer it and redirection.

I believe my question is fair, phrased in a way that is clear, and directed under the authority of a legally binding terpelaziun. It might be uncomfortable, but that is not a legal excuse for ignoring it.

So, as a supplementary question, would the minister tell us if he agrees that this is a fair way to describe the trendline:

The immigration rate badly slumped during the 53rd Cosa.  This slump continued for several terms, reaching a nadir during the 56th Cosa.  After that, the immigration rate improved over the succeeding three Cosas.  It peaked again during the 59th Cosa, but it has since badly slumped again.

Is that accurate?  I know it doesn't capture all of the subtleties, and that we can tell all kinds of stories to explain it, but I want to be sure that we agree on just the actual trend in this data.

To be sure, I am frankly leery right now of any organization claiming to help Palestinian children, as I fear any money given to said organization would somehow be funneled to Hamas, which is the real enemy of the Palestinians, even if they refuse to acknowledge that fact.

If Hamas had not done October 7, Israel never would have bombed Gaza.

While recognizing - and as a Jewish friend of mine put it - there are no "virgins" on either side of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, I acknowledge there being a spiritual dimension to all of this most people for whatever reason do not recognize and that is deeper than anything we can possibly imagine.

I want the Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace.  And not just physical peace.  This will only happen when both sides recognize the Jesus Christ of the Old and New Testaments as Messiah. 

That happy day will happen, but any more discussion on that, and this post becomes a novel.

Mr. Speaker, I wanted to amend my initial comments and reference those (above) of a member in the other chamber. I, of course, understand everyone will vote in accordance with their own conscience, but this endorsement of collective punishment is as abhorrent and dangerous when applied to Palestinians as it is when applied to Israelis or Jewish people living anywhere in the world. I would reiterate that it is possible to celebrate Talossan humanitarianism without continuing the recent toxicity or engaging in justification of crimes against humanity.
