LGBT group asks Attorney General to probe Noam party over gay lists

The Aguda Association for LGBT Equality in Israel appeals to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to probe the far-right homophobic Noam party after it was revealed that they had prepared lists of prominent gay journalists.

The association says the lists contravene laws to protect people from harassment and threats.

Noam, which will be part of the next government, prepared a list of dozens of gay TV anchors, reporters, radio hosts, and other TV professionals working in the news and entertainment industries, and a round-up of “extreme left-wing” women who it says are part of a “secret team” in an army unit in charge of gender equality, as part of an internal document from 2019 that appears to outline the party’s perceived opponents in the media and in civil society.

The lists were prepared for unknown reasons, online news site Ynet first reported last week
