“I don’t matter to Knesset members,” says Elana Sztokman in a campaign video for the new women’s party she just co-founded. She rattles off a list of issues that she says are routinely ignored by lawmakers – from gender issues to education and health care, to the women murdered by boyfriends and relatives. “Do you feel like you also don’t matter?

The “us” she is referring to is Kol Hanashim (“Voice of Women”), the new party she created with a group of women from across Israel’s political and ethnic spectrums to run in the upcoming election on March 2.
