MSM seems to be exaggerating Noam party's exact platforms

The press - and certainly the left - is making a stink over the alleged demands of the religious Noam faction who were elected to Knesset as part of the Religious Zionism list to reverse laws protecting women's rights:
The radical Noam faction announced Thursday that as part of the coalition talks, it plans to demand that the government repeal the law protecting women from violence and safeguarding their equal representation for women in politics and state institutions.

The law was passed in compliance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, which was the first formal and legal document declared countries must prevent violations of women's rights, support women's participation in politic, and protect women and girls from sexual violence in times of war and peace alike.

Noam is an extremist religious-Zionist party that follows the teachings of Rabbi Zvi Yisrael Tau, co-founder and president of Yeshivat Har Hamor in Jerusalem. It is known for its hardline anti-LGBTQ, anti-Reform positions.

Noam joined forces with the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, which follows the Kahanist doctrine, ahead of the March 23 elections.

While neither radical party had ever been elected to the Knesset independently, they both merged and joined forces with Religious Zionist Party leader Bezalel Smotrich ahead of the elections, hoping to scrape by the four-seat electoral threshold.

As the Religious Zionist Party eventually won six mandates, Noam leader Avi Maoz will now become a lawmaker.
I think this is, predictably, a huge exaggeration, because earlier, it was reported that:
It also vows to promote legislation that would require any victim of sexual assault to sign a waiver pledging that they are telling the truth before they’re allowed to file a police complaint. The party also backs creating a public registry of those who have filed false complaints, a position forcefully condemned by advocates for sex abuse victims.
So if this is correct, all the Noam party really wants is to prevent false complaints, something that actually hurts actual victims of sexual assault, and if there isn't a legal stipulation making clear false accusations are offensive and do more harm than good, there should be, seeing all the damage done in the wake of the MeToo movement. Also, RZP has women on its list like Orit Struk, and she said:
The Religious Zionist Party “never had any negative sentiments” toward LGBTQ+ people, Orit Struck, No. 5 on the party’s list, told the Knesset Channel on Tuesday.

“Concerning private people, who you call LGBTQ+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] people, I never, ever had any negative sentiments toward private people for whom this is their situation,” she said. “They’re not to blame for their situation. There is absolutely no reason to reject them, to kick them, to hurt them or to discriminate against them or anything like this. For sure, for sure this is not our way; it never was our way.”

Her party was “obviously against the flood of demands for legitimation and the pride parades,” Struck said, but that had no bearing on how they relate to individuals.
Even so, if Orthodox Judaists really see homosexuality as a bad influence, then they'll do well not to take up customs and practices that could lead to it, like gender segregation and keeping their children from viewing the opposite sex in almost every way, shape and form. Point: if a boy and girl fall in love and want to kiss, be proud of them. In other words, choose women's rights if you need to make a choice. That way, you'll be able to protest LGBT influence a lot better. Come to think of it, even women's rights advocates would do well to avoid associations with LGBT advocates, because they can do harm to their positions too, as seen in the transsexual propaganda going on now mainly in the US, Canada and Britain.

Also, it's worth considering Itamar Ben-Gvir's spoken in defense of women:
In his Channel 12 interview, Ben Gvir said that “Jews there [in the Negev and Galilee] are groaning,” and that “women are being harassed and call the police and there is no police, it’s terrible.”
But it would seem that, because Gvir's concerned about Islamic-influenced sexual violence, so what he thinks is meaningless to the leftists. Who clearly have no concerns whether a political movement led by Islamists would voice negative opinions of the above groups. This clearly is just an excuse by the left to take things out of context inappropriately.
