Maoz, the party's representative on the united list, disappeared in the last election campaign.

Aside from a single interview some of whose messages were pre-matched, he refused to be interviewed, hid the party principles and his participation in the party campaign was minor.

Sources in religious Zionism claimed that this was a "deliberate move" designed to prevent "unnecessary attacks" on the party, but now that the elections are over, and Maoz's entry into the Knesset is closer than ever, it is interesting to take a look inside the party's story.

The Noam party is based on ultra-Orthodox supporters, and its spiritual leader is Rabbi Zvi Tao, head of the Har Hamor yeshiva, who represents the most religious faction of religious Zionism. "We are against pride marches in public space," said Eldad Rabinovich, the party's representative, "We will work to make this possible through legislation." And that was not the party's only statement in its message against the LGBT people.

Disappeared in the last election campaign.

The party's platform published in the 22nd Knesset elections states that "attempts to say that there is no definition - no man and no woman, no form of family, there are parents 1 and 2 but father and mother is already a façade, are a very sad joke of a culture that dismantles and destroys the base In the name of 'false progress values'. "

The party then ran a wide-ranging outdoor campaign entitled "Israel chooses to be normal" and explained that the people of Israel "must raise the banner of normalcy and say the simple statement: Only father and mother is a family."

Apart from the issue of the proud community, in many of the issues, the Noam party presents the same position as Smutrich and the ultra-Orthodox parties, Shas and Torah Judaism. For example, it proposed that the Chief Rabbinate of Israel be "supreme authority in halakhic religious affairs in the State of Israel" Shabbat in the public sphere In addition, the party also dedicated a struggle to the non-Orthodox sects who sought to allocate a prayer area in the Western Wall, and the party argued that this should be opposed because it is a "small and marginal group that comes and despises us."

It is hard to believe that a party with only one representative in the Knesset will succeed in promoting legislation or other moves against the proud community, but its presence in the Knesset succeeds in threatening not only representatives of liberal parties, but may overshadow MKs' conduct in religious Zionism, Shas and Torah Judaism. To promote issues related to the proud community but not in a hurry to address the issue and arouse public interest in it.

The same is true of issues related to Shabbat in the public sphere or the struggle against reforms and conservatives.
