Avi Maoz (leader of the religious Noam party; ex-deputy minister for "Jewish national identity") — letter to party supporters (per Times of Israel, 28 Apr 2023) decrying the public prominence of a same-sex couple: opposing "a new public stance celebrating a new family model and harming our basic values as the nation of God and as a Jewish state." The anti-LGBT / religious social-conservative pole.

One cannot agree, including through silence or lack of protest, to audacious indoctrination that creates a new public stance celebrating a new family model and harming our basic values as the nation of God and as a Jewish state.

[Source is English (The Times of Israel, 28 April 2023, quoting his letter to party supporters; ToI's English translation of his Hebrew letter); tier-2, confirmed verbatim against the fetched page — ToI closes the quote with a comma before "Maoz said," rendered here as a sentence-final period (wording unchanged). NOTE: a "LGBTQ+ people… an abomination" line on Middle East Eye is that outlet's characterization of the Noam party, not a direct Maoz quote, and is excluded.] Declared position of Avi Maoz — leader of the far-right religious NOAM party and a former deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Office responsible for "Jewish national identity" (2022–2023). Maoz is the most prominent Israeli political voice of RELIGIOUS SOCIAL CONSERVATISM and the anti-LGBT "culture war": Noam campaigned on the slogan "Israel chooses to be normal," he vowed to abolish the Jerusalem Pride Parade (which he called "a promiscuous parade of abomination"), opposes Reform / non-Orthodox Judaism, women's combat service, and "gender" content in schools, and decried the public prominence of a same-sex couple (the openly gay Knesset speaker and his husband) "as if this were an authentic and acceptable Jewish norm." In the quoted letter he frames his mission as resisting the normalization of a "new family model": "One cannot agree… to audacious indoctrination that creates a new public stance celebrating a new family model and harming our basic values as the nation of God and as a Jewish state." This is the ISRAELI RELIGIOUS SOCIAL-CONSERVATIVE / ANTI-LGBT / "JEWISH IDENTITY" pole — traditional Orthodox family values, opposition to LGBT rights and religious pluralism, and the defense of a halachically-grounded "Jewish" public sphere — a distinct culture-war axis not captured by the territorial (Orit Strock), security (Gadi Eisenkot), or constitutional (Simcha Rothman) right. [Axes: religion-state / society (Orthodox family values; anti-LGBT; against Reform / pluralist Judaism; "Jewish national identity"), social conservatism vs liberalism (the sharpest socially-conservative pole; opposition to the "new family model"), gender (against women's combat roles and "gender" education), identity (a halachic-Jewish definition of the public sphere).]
