Ah, somewhere in Jerusalem was going to be my guess.

Looks like a mix of Druze towns and moshavim overall.

[Kitteh]

Yeah, ultimately whatever their views are on other issues (fairly extreme, btw) being non-Zionist (i.e. opposing Israel's existence as a Jewish state) is a non-starter.

[Kitteh]

Looking at the votes in the West Bank settlements, most voted for Likud Beitenu or JH, as you might expect, but there were some interesting exceptions. For example

Niran:

90% Labor (I think that's the best for Labor anywhere in Israel)
4% Hadash
2% Social Justice
2% Meretz
2% Yesh Atid


or on the fascist"other" side of the spectrum, Yitzhar, a...um..."controversial" settlement:

72% Otzma LeYisrael
17% JH
5% Likud Beitenu
3% Shas
2% UTJ
1% Koah LeHashpi'a


The most hilarious thing to me is that Ale Yarok (the marijuana legalization party) had some of it's best areas in the settlements. I guess life out there is stressful, I don't blame people for turning to pot

Masua:
47% Likud Beitenu
23% JH
9% Yesh Atid
7% Labor
6% Ale Yarok
3% HaTnuah
2% Koah LeHashpi'a
2% Kadima

Ma'ale Efrayim:
30% Likud Beitenu
17% JH
11% Labor
7% HaTnuah
7% Yesh Atid
6% Otzma LeYisrael
5% Ale Yarok
4% Shas
3% Eretz Hadasha
2% Kadima
2% UTJ
2% Meretz
1% Am Shalem
(A bunch of minor parties that don't even have English wiki pages at 1% below this)


Actually, I think that Ale Yarok would have passed the threshold among settlement voters only
