למרות שלא אוהב את דרכך הפוליטית השמאלית מעט לטעמי, אתה אישיות מופלאה וגאה שאתה הנשיא של מדינתנו.

Israel, despite having a tiny territory without too much natural resources, is a wonderful country in the care of the environment. If some nations would imitate him, maybe they would administrate better their resources.
