Israel has a ton of cleavages that are interesting to analyze:
- Mizrahi, Sephardic Jews are more likely to vote Likud, Shas and for other right-wing parties
- Ethiopian Jews seem more left-leaning? Not completely sure on this.
- Arabs clearly vote for the Arab parties and if they don't, usually vote for Zionist Union or Meretz.
- Ashkenazi Jews vote more center to center-left, particularly for the Zionist Union, Meretz and Yesh Atid
- Poorer voters/working class voters support Likud, Shas
- Wealthy voters vote for more left-leaning parties, like the Zionist Union and Meretz
- Russian Jews vote for Yisrael Beiteinu, Likud and Zionist Union in that order (also depends what type of Russian Jews, whether they are post-USSR immigrants, or pre-USSR collapse immigrants)
- Older voters back the left more; younger voters the right.
- Divide between Secular and Religious Jewish voters is very clear and present. Secular voters prefer Zionist Union, Meretz on the left and Yesh Atid, Kulanu, Yisrael Beiteinu (Russian seculars) towards the middle or non-binary ideological spectrum.
I'm sure I'm wrong on some of the details, but I think I got a good gist of some of the trends. If not, hope one the Israelis corrects me.
