Led by Naftali Goldman · not in the polls · running for a Torah-run Zionist state

Updated

Naftali Goldman's one-man party, registered at the turn of 2020. Its platform answers what it calls an immoral, unkind and disunited society with three sets of laws: Torah morality, full living costs for the sick and the old, and one draft for every Jewish man.

The list, who comes with them

How this list is picked. The charter reserves first place for the chairman and fills every other place by lottery among party members, in the order drawn.

Rank on the slip decides who enters the Knesset. No pollster asks about this list, so there is no seat projection to set that rank against.

The jobs they are going after

Cabinet jobs where someone on this list is up against candidates from other parties.

Where they stand

Judea & SamariaNo Palestinian state. Palestinians are to recognise the Jewish right to the land, and Gaza stays under Israeli control.
Two states / withdrawalSovereignty / annexation
Gaza & SecurityZero tolerance for terror, with heavy sanctions for a breach. The platform was written in 2020 and says nothing about how the current war ends.
Deal & disengagementFull military control
Haredi EnlistmentEvery Jewish man is drafted. Those who choose Torah serve in a spiritual combat unit on closed bases under yeshiva heads, and no religious group is exempt.
Universal draftPreserve exemptions
JudiciaryStrip the Supreme Court of the power to void Knesset decisions. A law it strikes down returns to the government for a vote that binds.
Court can strike lawsKnesset can override
EconomyKeeps the existing budget and economic model. New spending comes from selling or leasing army-held land and from Leviathan gas revenue, not from tax changes.
Social spendingFree market
EducationFree degrees for anyone who completes military or full national service, then state help to open a business trading abroad. Israeli heritage is added to the curriculum.
State runs the schoolsParents and communities
Religion & StateMorality is set by God alone. Adultery becomes punishable, internet pornography is censored for children, and state backing for same-sex marriage and adoption ends.
Civil / pluralistReligious authority
Nation & CitizenshipRuns on Jewish unity, religious with secular and Ashkenazim with Sephardim, and a minister to connect 14 million Jews worldwide. Nothing on Arab citizens.
Equal citizenshipJewish national state
