A RACE, NOT A RELIGION:
Israeli Jewish voters have moved significantly rightward in recent years, data shows (CARRIE KELLER-LYNN, 8/29/22, Times of Israel)
Israel's right-wing Jewish voter base has grown from 46 percent before the April 2019 election to 62% now, ahead of November's vote, according to an analysis of self-reported political affiliation by the Israel Democracy Institute.The growth has been mostly at the expense of the political center, although the left has also taken a dip.From 2019 to 2022, with four elections having taken place and a fifth scheduled, the size of the political center dropped by nine percentage points and the number of left-identifying citizens by six points, to 24% and 11%, respectively.
