Religious Zionism MK Orit Strock says leftists, Arabs and members of the LGBT community should not fear the rise of the far right in this week’s election.

“We’re not going to hammer anyone,” she says. “We will serve all citizens, including those who do not think like us and whose lifestyles are different.”

However, she says her party will seek to “bring order to the public space,” in apparent reference to opposition to gay pride events.

“Regardless of pride, there shouldn’t be marches of people walking down the street naked or half naked,” Strock says.

“The problem is with years-long efforts, not just here but around the world, to force things on the public.”
