Title: Israeli election and demographic maps
Post by: danny on December 09, 2011, 06:59:06 AM
All the maps in this thread are in the gallery.

Map of central Israel plurality vote winner in 2009 by municipality


()

Note that about 3.4 million (42% of Israel population) people live in the area.

Edit: changed the original centre map to fit in with the other maps so that every part of the country is covered

Fantastic, Is there anyway to add municipal names? It would be great to see who won over where... It looks like Kadima won over Tel-Aviv but thats the only local i can pin-point... i'm interested in that strong left area in the north (two green Meretz and 1 Labour).
Also, does this show the Kibbutz's?

Yes, it includes kibbutzim and moshavim.
The two Meretz places are Ga'ash (southern one) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ga%27ash) and Yakum(north) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakum), and the Labour one is Shefayim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shefayim). All of those are kibbutzim.

Thanks! i thought that was the case, i knew that Labout & Meretz typically do perform better among the Kibbutzim and moshavim (thats for the plural form aswell :)

looking forward to the north/south

Am i right that Kadima also won Jerusalem? that just seems odd to me, as i thought Likud would out perfom there?

Not even close, Likud won, while Kadima came in fourth behind UTJ and Shas with less than half of Likuds vote.
In fact, they came in fourth in the 2006 election ( behind UTJ Shas and NU-NRP) as well even though they easily won the national vote.

The data comes from the Knesset website but it's only in Hebrew.
I can get the results from the settlements, unfortunately they don't seem to have defined borders so I can't do it in map form.
But if you want the results from any specific place then tell me.

NOW that makes sense... Jerusalem just sticks in my craw as being this bastian of the religious/right... My bad i was looking at that blob thats actually Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut (i had to look it up)

I'm with Teddy, if you have the other districts that would be awesome (Northern, Southern, Haifa and Jerusalem).... you updated it, YOU ROCK

So Ashdod i am guessing has a high Russian populartion to explain why Yisrael Beitenu took it?

How is Labour perfoming under Shelly Yachimovich?

It very much is a bastion of the right It was about 75%-25% for the right-religious against everyone else.

Yes, huge, the biggest in Israel.

Better than with Barak beating Kadima to second but not a threat Likud right now.

Can you exlpain the difference between all those religious parties? (Shas, UTJ, National Union, Jewish Home)?

UTJ is union of two parties:
The Lithuanian Haredi Degel Hatorah which is the party for non-hasidic, ashkenazi, ultra orthodox Jews.
Agudat Israel is the hasidic party (who are also overwhelmingly ashkenazi).
combined UTJ acts as a party for all Ultra orthodox ashkenazi jews (except for chabad).

Shas is the party of Sephardi ultra orthodox, however most of its vote comes from non-ultra orthodox sephardim.

National Union is a union of 4 parties, which range in religion from secular to a kind of mixture of ultra orthodoxy and the more religiously moderate "religious Zionism"  called "hardal". the common denominator for this group is extreme hawkish views.

Jewish Home is the descendant of the National Religious party, the formerly general party for the religious Zionism it wasn't originally a right wing party at all but drifted right over time as religious people in general have. It's basically a more pragmatic version of the NU.

Interesting North/South divide there eh...
North end (minus the coast) is where Labour i strongest, i'm guessing working class. Kadima also looks to dominate here especially on the coast

The central wards (3-6) is where Meretz is strongest (5&6 look to be equal to Labour) thats not surprising; probably artsy, secular, mixed; very Copenhagen looking

South is all Likud, probably wealthy... but in ward 7, Yellow has strength, would that be an arab or religious party?

I would assume Israeli-arabs would vote for Hadash or Balad... then Labour, Meretz, Kadima. The arab parties then the more dovish ones?


Title: Re: Israeli election and demographic maps
Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on December 09, 2011, 01:22:55 PM
IIRC the best Meretz parts of Tel Aviv are middle class lefty clichéland. Main division would presumably be ethnic though, especially with Labour and Likud. I may be wrong.

You have it mixed up, in Israel, as a general rule, amongst Jews, rich people vote for the left(now also including Kadima) while the poor vote for the right.

The central wards are indeed secular and artsy (and gay) but I wouldn't call it mixed, in Israeli ethno-religious sense its quite homogenic (young secular Ashkenazi).

The North is the super wealthy part (and thus a high vote for Kadima and Labour).

The south is the poor (and more sephardi) area.

The area with a lot of yellow includes Jaffa, the Arab part who vote for the Arab parties.

Huhh thats rather interesting... my guess is wealth=education=knowledge of the issues... therefore they are more likely to vote for parties who are less reactionist. Thats my leftwing analogy.

Like you mentioned above the religious groups seem to vote along different paterns, do the Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, Beta ... (missing any?) vote along those paterns?



Title: Re: Israeli election and demographic maps
Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on December 09, 2011, 02:04:06 PM
It's mostly an ethnic issue, even if that might not be quite the right word. The Israeli Left (however defined) has almost always been a very Ashkenazi thing. Mapai and then Labour never really bothered to reach out to the Sephardi communities when it mattered, leaving them to Likud. Some interpretations of that fact are not especially charitable. Of course if you're looking in terms of raw socio-economic tendencies, things can quickly get very complicated in Israel, because of the various Religious (big 'r' important) communities.

Secular ashkenazis, the historic "elites" and founders, are the base of the left.
Sephardi/Mizrahi vote for the right (Likud and Shas).
Beta (Ethiopians) are a new immigrant and very poor group and also vote mostly for the right.
There are also the immigrants that came from the USSR after its collapse who nowadays also vote for the right (Yisrael Beitenu and Likud)

The long term problem of the left is that its base has a slower population growth than the country as a whole.

No, There are no Jewish minority towns in Israel, all cities and villages in Israel either have a Jewish majority (usually with no Arabs and a few with an Arab minority) or a basically non-existent one. What that area has is something that isn't uncommon at all in Israel, which is a 99+% Arab town adjacent to a 99+% Jewish one.

Yeah. That sounds logical. It was just the appearance of all three Arab parties next to each other that made me wonder.
So is that a random occurrence or is it normal for Arab towns to vote en bloc for one of the three?

Those towns didn't vote en bloc they just had a different percent voting for each of the three, for example:

Umm al-Fahm: Hadash-55%, Balad-24%, UAL-19%
Ar'ara: Balad-44%, UAL-32%, Hadash-21%
Baqa-Jatt: UAL-48%, Balad-39%, Hadash-5%

Yes, the north district is 53% Arab, unfortunately, it also has a million little towns and villages
(total population of 1.3 million but the largest city is only 70 thousand) which means it will be the hardest one to do, so it won't be done anytime soon.

Different, yes, but pretty mild compared some other places in Israel with real bloc voting:

Ar'ara-in-the-negev (southern Bedouin): UAL-95% (2534 votes out of 2664 total)
Yitzhar (far right settlement): National Union-87%

Yeah, that surprised me as well.

Actually amongst Arabs (non-Druze ) there seems to be a close fight between Shas and Labour for the biggest Jewish party. And no, I have no idea why Shas would appeal to Arabs (Labour is understandable).

Your map Teddy, shows one of the problems for the Zionist left-centre, you can see how they couldn't win a single city.

Oh, and Yisrael Hazaka was actually a left wing party founded by a former Labourite that supported the separation of state and church.

Yes, it includes a lot of Mizrahi places that would normally vote Likud, except in this election the Likud was terrible, and because of Peretz Labour was much more appealing than usual.

Likud performed so badly in 2006 that the 3 biggest parties in Jerusalem were all religious (UTJ, Shas, NU-NRP).

Maybe, I don't yet know what I will do when I am done with the current maps, for which I plan to go back until the 1999 election eventually (this will take awhile). Although doing such comparative maps might be a problem as all the parties are irrelevant in many places.

The problem with the settlements is that I don't have a good map for them.

The old system isn't too bad when the Prime ministerial elections and the Knesset elections were at the same time, but having a prime ministerial election alone like 2001 is a bad idea.

since it happened 4 times in a row, than I suppose that by definition you could call it normal. The comment was about the fact that regardless of the different parties and varying strengths on a national level, the vote in Jerusalem stayed the same.

- do you have data specifically for Haifa city not metro?
- do you have a segmentation of IDf voting?

- that labour dot in Jerusalem which appears in every diagram is that rehavya? I can't think of another in-city Jerusalem neighborhood that will see a left victory

This is a municipal map, so all of Jerusalem is located in the place labeled Jerusalem. That dot is Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, which is not part of Jerusalem even though it is encircled by it.

- do you have data specifically for Haifa city not metro?

That is Haifa City, the metro includes the Krayot (and more), which as you can see, is included separately on the map.

- do you have a segmentation of IDf voting?

Unfortunately, No.

- is there a way to get data from 1992 general election?

on a municipal level I can only get data from 1999, I get this from the knesset website  (http://main.knesset.gov.il/mk/elections/Pages/default.aspx) (תגלגל למטה איפה שכתוב אתרי בחירות), go there if you want to know exact percentages for each municipality.

Labour ones are mainly Kibbutzim from the 70s not very right wing and they keep saying they'll leave with the agreement (and the right reimbursement) YA ones are mainly secular settlements, but you need to understand that he probably won all of them with <30% of the vote not really centrist place but they probably tilted because the 2013 elections were not on the Palestinian matter at all.

Tell us about the Labor and Yesh Atid settlements.

The Labour ones are either Kibbutzim or Moshavim founded by Labour related groups.

The Yesh Atid you see in the Western part are basically generic suburbs of Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem that just happen to be located just beyond the green line, but being on that side of the green line is not why they decided to live there.

Can there be a stable-for-Israel government out of this election that does not contain both Likud and Labor?  Looking at the numbers, I'm having trouble coming up with a Likud government with over 66ish seats, and a government with 61-65 seats is implausible.

Likud can't invite in the Arabs or the fascists, Meretz won't join, and he can have either the Haredi parties or Yesh Atid but not both. There's no obvious Likud coalition that isn't a grand coalition with Labor plus Kulanu, the Haredi, and Jewish Home and maybe Lieberman.

Likud will happily invite Yachad, though they may go through the motions of asking Marzel personally to stay out. And, in any case, you only need 61 - nothing at all implausible about that. The only objection is that Netanyahu likes being in the center of his cabinet, while in this case he will be pretty far to the left. But, frankly, hard for me to see the argument he can make to have any Labor leader to accept being second fiddle to him. The grand coalition would have to, at least, involve alternation, and it is hard to see why would Netanyahu prefer that to having a smaller coalition.

Should it be in the other thread, though?

swings are problematic with the way Israeli politics work, but I was thinking of doing a map of coalition versus opposition, I wonder if I should include Yachad with the coalition though (because they would mostly be in the coalition, and if they didn't exist their voters would overwhelmingly voted for coalition parties).

Centre party issues are a problem if you try to make a right versus left map, but that isn't a problem with coalition versus opposition and allows you to include (almost) all of the parties. Obviously you have to keep in mind that coalition and opposition parties can be very different from one another (particularly opposition).

There is nothing even close to Meretz winning, the biggest percent they got was in Niran (one of the Red ones in the east), where they got 9.1%. There only 55 votes in total: ZU-47 Meretz-5 YA-3, with zero votes for everyone else.

All those Zionist Union places near Gaza are mostly Ashkenazi Kibbutzim or Moshvim and not towns, all the urban places in the area went heavily for the right. Being next to Gaza has little effect, demographics are far more important.

They might drink mate and understand Ladino (well, I understand it as well :) - every Spanish speaker does), but they are generally as Ashkenazi as anybody. Different for Mexican Jews: here it is a mixture of different communities. But I am still to meet an Argentinian sefard :)

Most of the jew I know are Azhkenazi (one of by best friends is from czech descend, although he told one that he is part sephardic), but some people I know have last names that I suppose are sephardic (I don't really know). One funny case is Nicolas Massu, who is part jewish part palestinian so I count him as mizrahi.

I'm very curious about the few settlements that voted left in the last few cycles. What is their stance on the peace process and on giving up land?
Either kibbutzim deep inside who won't might leaving with a peace settlement and a nice reimbursement. Others are really on the border and expect to be in with every permenant settlement as part of land swapping

Where׳s the shock there? I expected YA to get more in Ashdod and Zara's to be tighter but most of those cities (bar for 2 they aren't even real cities) are both Sephardi and in a fast process of "religiousizing"

I didn't say it was shocking, but I did think it was interesting enough to merit a post. What was interesting to me wasn't who won but just how lopsided the margins were compared to left strongholds (outside the Arab cities. The left pretty easily won some wealthy cities in the centre, but even at the most extreme, Ramat Hasharon at 68-31, it still isn't the 80%+ you see in Ashdod or Askelon.

Well you need to take the Kulano vote out of the left-right equation there. For instance in Haifa a lot of Kulano voters are by no means right wing voters some were even pretty left. In the periphery Kulano voters were very much Likud voters who disliked Bibi.

It was the same with Kadima voters in the periphery and the affluent towns.

Also the left "strongholds" are less homogenous, most had estates built in the 50's to house Sephardis, and then had Russians come out in droves in the 90's. And to add to that you had the white flight of the 80's and 90's to affluent suburban "moshavim" like Even Yehuda that disturbed the demographic balance in those cities
