  • Right-wing attorney Tzfenat Nordman defended Yosef Haddad against criticism.
  • She questioned the ideological consistency of Haddad's critics.
  • Nordman suggested Haddad's critics might be motivated by election campaigns.
  • She argued that supporting a Palestinian state should disqualify many politicians from the right.
  • Nordman implied that only an 'ideological right' remains if the rule is applied consistently.

Right-wing attorney Tzfenat Nordman addressed criticism directed at Yosef Haddad and his party regarding his position on the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state. Nordman argued that if supporting the division of the land in the future disqualifies someone from the right-wing camp, the same standard should apply to other parties and candidates.

Nordman stated, "I'm not in a hurry to defend Yosef Haddad and his party, but I just want to make sure I understand the message." She posed the central question of the debate: "So, support for a Palestinian state, meaning the division of the land, one day, even if not now; the thought that this is the goal and there is no other, and though it tarries, we will wait for it, disqualifies a person from the right-wing camp?"

Nordman clarified that applying this rule broadly could lead to a wider conclusion than just concerning Haddad. "I liked it. No need to convince me, as you know. Now, amuse yourselves by applying the rule to the rest of the parties and candidates. Who are you left with? Good," she wrote.

According to Nordman, after applying this test to all parties and candidates, the conclusion is that "the so-called ideological right is the only right we have." She added that if Haddad's critics do not apply the rule equally, their criticism stems not from consistent ideological definition but from election campaign tactics.

"If the application did not leave you with only this right, your criticism of Yosef Haddad is just another day in the election campaign," Nordman wrote. She described this as a legitimate move but requested it be framed accurately: "Legitimate, of course. This is the season and this is the business. I'm just framing it correctly, that's all. Now, continue."
