Elikim Shtark, a United Torah Judaism candidate for the 26th Knesset, attacked Central Elections Committee Chairman Noam Solberg, saying that "today a new phenomenon has spread, it's called Solbergism. Solbergism says hit the ultra-Orthodox – and you'll be more of a man, more successful." Shtark also said that the situation of the ultra-Orthodox is "close to what it was in the Holocaust," because draft evaders cannot leave the country for matchmaking due to exit orders, so the brides' families have to come to Israel.
