Rabbi Yosef Kelner, a prominent figure within the Noam party, has revealed the strategic reasoning behind the party's decision to run in elections despite the potential for wasted votes. In a leaked recording, Rabbi Kelner explained that the move was not driven by a pure adherence to truth, but rather as an "aggressive political maneuver" intended to signal seriousness and deter future underestimation.
Kelner stated that the party's commitment to running "to the end," regardless of crossing the electoral threshold, is a calculated political game. He elaborated that this tactic aims to convey a message to other political actors: "Don't mess with us." The intention is to establish the party's resolve for current and future elections, ensuring they are taken seriously.
"We are serious, and when we say we are going, we are going to the end, and beware of us. From now on, you will not underestimate us," Rabbi Kelner declared in the recording. This statement was made to declare the party's intentions and establish its credibility.
Reporter Amit Segal commented on the recording, calling it a "beautiful moment of candor" regarding the party's objectives. Segal contrasted this revelation with the efforts of Noam's phone campaigners, who are reportedly making hundreds of thousands of calls to voters, claiming the party will successfully pass the electoral threshold.
