Cowlquape fidgeted with his tie, and coughed nervously.
“Mr Pentephraxis? The audience is waiting for you, please follow me.” He walked off down the corridor behind Lyn, his secretary. He walked into the press room and stood in front of the glaring lights and flashing cameras.
“I’d like to welcome you all here, for what will only be a very short announcement. After that I will take questions from the media.” He coughed again and straightened his papers.
“It is with great… pleasure that I announce the reforming of a once great alliance. The Jewish Defence Alliance was a proud alliance, but inactive. I have taken it upon Sanctaphrax to refound this alliance, recruit for it, and make it once again a great alliance. This will however be a selective alliance, and only nations with substantial Jewish population will be allowed in. This may be subject to change later on. Although we haven’t got many aims at the moment, one of our main aims is to strengthen ties with the International Christian Coalition, to promote peace and understanding around the known world. For the moment, all we seek is members. All nations must have at least a 25% Jewish community. Are there any questions?”

OOC: IDF got deleted (inactivity), so I decided to refound this alliance, which was his at the start. Here’s the form, shamelessly nicked from the ICC thread. :p

We wish you the best in refounding the alliance. While the socialist government is tolerant of all religions, the ANL has chosen not to adopt a state religion. Nor do we have an high Jewish population. However, we will consider you alliance peaceful and friendly.

And I'm your friend!!

ooc: You'll have to tell me how many Jews you have in your nation to be accepted, as 25% is the minimum. Don't forget once you decide, it stays decided.
Also, if I let you in, you won't go using our alliance to threaten enemies, nor will you ask us for help if you invade someone.

With all these alliances, why would you possibly need to join the JDA? Seems you have more than enough defence/friends/whatever you need there.

Probably 10% Jewish, Most of my nation is Hindu. I don't use alliances aganist others. I don't think I've ever used an alliance for war. I only use my region if they want to join. Maybe I'll revoke my application, because my ass is going to be screw if I join too many alliances.

10% Jewish then you can't join anyway, as you need at least 25%. Sorry!

bump for more members!

And I.... bump this thread!

Malkyer cannot join this alliance, as our Jewish population is only 4% of the total. However, we will consider all member nations friendly, unless we have a pre-existing hostile relationship.

Ankhmet wishes to say that it is not anti-semitic in any way, but is disgusted at an alliance where ethnicity is a requirement of membership. You are participating in an activity this is meant to halt (bias against an ethnic group). Furthermore, it seems to be a tool for the furthering of your zionist aims.

Hmm, this is interesting.
1) I didn't notice any such reaction to the founding of the International Christian Coalition, making me doubt your comment of not being an anti-semite.
2) We would like it noted that when we founded this, one of the chief, primary aims, was stronger ties with the Christian community, or did this pass your sight? Read the press release again.
3) Calling Sanctaphrax Zionist, now that is funny. Congratulations, you're a funny funny man, and one of the millions who cannot distinguish between Judaism and Zionism.
4) This is not a new alliance, merely an old one refounded.


ooc: The entire above post was IC.

ooc:Likewise o_o And if I was an anti-semite I would have to be remarkably stupid. My mother is doing an Orthodox conversion.

ic:

1)I have never seen any christian coalition. I make my objections to things when I see them.

2)regardless, this is still somewhat along the lines of a racist coalition.

3)I have seen a post from you stating Zionist intent.

4)Your point being?

ooc: o.O Wow *image of an anti-semites parents becoming Jewish springs to mind* Teehee:p

IC:
If I may ask, how are relations between you and Pacitalia? Do you see them as racist or fundementalist in any way? Also, if you would care to explain how this is in any way a racist coalition, with the aforementioned aims in mind, I'd be glad to hear it. We haven't had a good laugh in ages. If you would like to quote that post, we will take this comment seriously.

Pacitalia?I have no relations with Pacitalia. As for that post, I'll try to find it.

IC:

The Holy Empire of the True Way of Alan acknowledges your alliance. Our nation has made it a point to defend nations that are being persecuted for their religous beliefs. We are 98% Church of Alan, but there is a small Jewish following. To be honest, all other religons except Alanism, Judism, and Mormonism, have been outlawed.

We repectfully ask to be considered in this Alliance.

Nations Name: The Holy Empire of the True Way of Alan
Nations Leader: Lord Priest N'ala R'hab
Jewish Percentage: 1.3%

The True Way Of Alan, unfortunately you are not even close to 25%. If you were close to it, we might make exceptions, but you aren't even 2%. Therefore we must decline your request.

Hmm.....


Very Well. But, I shall warn you: This will reflect on the Jewish people of our nation.

How do you mean "It will reflect on the Jewish people of our nation"? If they want, they're more than welcome to move to World wide allies, West Cedarbrook or Sanctaphrax, if being NJDA members is so important to them.

Bump?

Old Pal, Sanctaphrax, I don't think your going to have to much nations who have a populace of 25% Jew. I think you becoming too nationalist to include a major race of Jew. Lower your standards, more friends will arrive.

BUMP!
