The opening as it read in 2015

Stav Shaffir ( ; born 17 May 1985) is the youngest female Knesset member in Israel 's history, outspoken for demanding fiscal oversight of settlement funding and supporting a wide array of social justice-related issues—from affordable housing for young Israelis to the rights of Women of the Wall . Shaffir placed second in the 13 January 2015, primaries of the Labor Party and holds the third place in the internal Labor list (or alternatively the fourth place on the combined Labor–Hatnuah list). Shaffir was one of a small group of leaders of the 2011 Israeli social justice protests , Israel's biggest-ever protest, focusing on housing, public services, income inequality and democracy – and would eventually rise to become spokesperson of the movement. A video of Shaffir's 21 January 2015, Knesset speech went viral. In it, Shaffir sharply attacks Israel's right wing politicians, saying, "Don't preach to us about Zionism, because real Zionism means dividing the budget equally among all the citizens of the country. Real Zionism is taking care of the weak. Real Zionism is solidarity, not only in battle but in everyday life." Rosenberg, Yair (26 January 2015).1
