Y. Shalom For Congress

Shalom Haverim!
I've been around for a while now, but for those who don't know me - I am Yoel ben Shalom. My eRepublik birth occurred in Center district for about three months ago. Instantly, when I saw the Turkish flag on my profile, I realized that my beloved Jewish country was in trouble. I invited some friends into the game and tried to understand the conflict. As I understood more and more, by intentions of liberation was constantly growing. I participated in two failing resistance wars, but I never gave up hope. When the eJewish community was created, I saw some big opportunities. Since then, I have constantly been active and participated in discussion. But for me, that is just not enough.

When the resistance war was started by Benn Dover, I took the first flight to Central Greece and fought. When I was out of wellness and weapons, I tried a new strategy. I started promoting eIsrael in the eSwedish forum and donated some gold to fighters. As the war continued, it looked dark for eIsrael. But I never gave up hope and I continued to follow the war. My participation in the war may not be much, but I did all that I could think of.

When North district was liberated, my absolute support was given from the beginning. I moved there, but as I saw the country without economy nor politics, I understood that I can't do much. I moved back to Central Greece, helped the eGreek war, and started to work. Now, I have the essential supplies for surviving the eWorld and I have moved back to North District - the place where I really belong.

We currently have a lot of issues, there is no doubt about it. I can personally not just stand and watch those issues remain, I have to solve them together with my comrades.

That is why I decided to run for congress in Israeli Workers Party.

So, what's good about me?

- "I am a true Jewish Zionist in game, and in real life."
Meaning that I think the whole land of Israel should belong to eIsrael. However, I consider going to war to liberate the vast regions from eTurkey without enough force to be totally insane. As it seems now, I have no intentions of expanding eIsrael outside Israel's borders. In real life, I am a Swedish Jew and Zionist.

- "I am loyal to my country."
Building a country from a single region with a strong arch enemy is not one piece of cake. I will do whatever I can do to execute this task. No matter who’s in charge, I will serve my country. In good times and bad times - I will be there.

- "I will focus on the health of my country."
We are one special country; there is no doubt about it. When people think of Israel, they think about a lot more than just a name of a country. That is one of the reasons why I want to put a lot of focus internationally, because we are always stronger together with others. I have studied international relations in school and I'm sure that some of it will turn out handy when it comes to the game. By the way, I am also a supporter of ATLANTIS.

If you find my text above as relevant for Ha'aretz, then vote for me (Israeli Workers Party) on the 25th!

Wherever I stand - I stand with eIsrael.
