A survey commissioned by Yisrael Hayom carried out by New Wave Research Institute shows most Israeli youths are politically right-wing. The poll was conducted from March 27th to 30th, including 308 Jewish Hebrew-speaking 11th and 12th graders. The margin of error is +/- 5.7%.
To the surprise of many, 59% identify as right-wing as compared to 23% centrist and 13% left-wing. The remaining 5% are undecided.

Interesting stats though 308 people is hardly a representative sample. So how does the IDF release stats indicating that close to 50% of draftable youth are not drafted? The army also says that of those not drafted, only about 12% are because of “religious reasons.” Presumably yeshiva bochurim and chareidi girls. Where are the rest?
better if they joined the beis medrash and not the anti-Yahadus IDF and medina.
