In this moshav everyone knows everyone - but votes the opposite: "Half kippot, half secular"

In Moshav Kfar Hasidim, where religious and secular residents live together, an almost equal political divide emerges between coalition and opposition supporters. The 50:50 series brings the voices of residents: a farmer who feels politically homeless, a former Likud voter switching to Eisenkot, and a former Ben Gvir voter moving to Ofer Winter. Despite the gaps, residents emphasize coexistence and harmony.

In Moshav Kfar Hasidim, located in the Zevulun Regional Council, about 800 residents, religious and secular, live together with an almost even political split: in the 2022 elections, 182 residents voted for opposition parties and 166 for coalition parties. The ynet 50:50 series brings the voices of the residents. Oshri Naim, who moved from Ben Gvir to Ofer Winter, explains: "I love Otzma Yehudit, but I also love people with a way and order." Tirza Cohen, who voted Likud in the past, is switching to Eisenkot: "This is not what I expected, this is not the Likud I voted for in the past." David Ziskovich, a farmer, feels politically homeless and is torn between Smotrich and Likud. Mor Varshtein, who voted for Gantz, leans toward Bennett. Despite the gaps, residents emphasize coexistence: "The neighbor across from me is on the other side... but we sit and laugh together at the local bar."
