An opinion piece argues that the Noam party is uniquely focused on preserving Israel's Jewish identity, a core issue it believes other right-wing parties neglect. The author addresses concerns about supporting Noam, particularly regarding potential coalition formations with Arab parties, dismissing these fears as highly improbable.
The article contends that while Israel has excelled in military and economic development over its 78 years, it remains "primitive" in safeguarding its Jewish identity. It criticizes the perceived lack of Jewish presence in public institutions, the influence of progressive ideologies, and the failure to address issues like the "Who is a Jew?" law, the Western Wall's sanctity, and the integration of non-Jews into Israeli society.
Specific concerns raised include the perceived "genderization" and feminist influence in the IDF, the absence of updates to the "Who is a Jew?" law despite significant immigration of non-Jews, and what the author views as the desecration of holy sites and religious practices. The piece also criticizes the education system for promoting diverse family structures, blurring gender distinctions, and presenting a distorted view of Jewish history and tradition.
The author asserts that while parties like Religious Zionism, Otzma Yehudit, Shas, and Likud address important issues such as security and settlement, they fail to prioritize the fundamental aspect of Jewish identity. Prime Minister Netanyahu is criticized for appearing on programs on Shabbat and appointing leaders of "family-destroying organizations," while other right-wing figures are also critiqued for not confronting these perceived failures.
Noam, the author concludes, is the only party committed to actively fighting for Israel's Jewish identity, citing its support for legislation like the Western Wall and "Who is a Jew?" laws, and its push for transparency in education. The piece dismisses the idea that other parties, like Religious Zionism, are sufficient, comparing it to asking if a non-religious party is enough for religious voters. The author reiterates that the threat to Jewish identity is far more significant than any perceived political risk from voting for Noam.
