Female representation in the Knesset is an important issue, but the head-counting ceremony after closing the lists is unnecessary • But the leftist is yet to be voted to vote for Regev because of the X chromosome pair

The official propaganda broadcasts may not be here yet, but the parties 'and candidates' brainwashing machine has already been flooded. The opening shot came to us a minute after closing the lists in the form of a chromosome X pair test, which means women's heads counting the lists.

This happens in every election campaign: a party is formed, once on the right and once on a referendum, which boasts that it is the epitome of estrogens, and hence there is a feminine obligation - if not a human rule - to vote for it. This time it was Ayelet Shaked, who for some reason distributed two identical tweets within a minute, detailing the names of the women at the front of the right list and declaring that her list was "the most feminine in the Knesset."

The most feminine list in the Knesset:
Ayelet Shaked, Idit Silman, Sarah Beck, Shirley Pinto, Orit Stroke, Muhammad Muhammad. 50 percent of women.

It must be said in her defense that the plurality of women in her party contradicts the stereotype that the left likes to infect right-wing parties; After all, such a feminine list cannot be the focus of a chauvinistic and misogynistic religion. Beyond that, where is this list and where the ultra-white and blue male testosterone party, whose cockfight refused to balance female underrepresentation - and we haven't even mentioned the public kicking of strong women in left-wing parties, Desperate Livni and Shafir Shafir.

But on the other hand, the celebrations of women's rights to the right are astonishing at the motives that led to Ayelet Shaked's decline from first place - to third - in less than six months. Maybe it's hard for friends out there to see a woman in a leadership role? And, in general, when she was the acting chair, was she the dominant figure on the list?

Female underrepresentation in the House is a problem that is important to fix, but bragging about the number of women on the left and right shows just how chromosome counts are used for propaganda purposes only. He is not yet born to vote for Meretz just because Tamar Zandberg is a woman, and the left-wing man would rather put his hand on fire than call the public to vote for feminist Regev shoots. If that's the criterion for voting, why not consider Larissa Trimbobler-Amir's party, which includes both 50 percent of women in the top ten and a woman at the top of the list?

And something else: The most encouraging news so far in the current round is precisely one man's welcome decision not to run a propaganda campaign: Central Election Commission Chairman Justice Neal Handel. His predecessor, Judge Meltzer, Handel endeavors to conduct the process quietly and matter-of-factly. That he does everything so that he doesn't stand out.

If he continues at this rate, Judge Handel will have to deal with the fact that his name does not appear in newspaper headlines or the opening of the edition, and most citizens will not even know who heads the Central Election Commission. On the other hand, perhaps the public will lose their confidence in the Supreme Court that there are indeed judges in Jerusalem, and they even behave as deserving of their high office.
