Analysis of Israeli parties according to the dynamic spiral model.
In honor of the 2022 elections (01.11) an analysis is attached according to the value layers of the dynamic spiral for the main parties.
The analysis is my personal analysis based on research and familiarity with the history of each party, and it is possible that some of my assessments can be disagreed with.
Party identity and culture is derived from the preference of a layer of values, but also from layers of values to which it opposes.
Likud
Leading Values:
Adom : Likud is motivated by a preference for strength and power in order to achieve security for the State of Israel and to maintain Jewish control of the country. They also tend to prefer respect and control over justice and equality.
Purple : an "us or them" worldview, without many compromises in the middle.
Values that arouse objection:
Blue : The order and the blue law in their own right represent limitations on centralized control, for example the Supreme Court can limit the government's decisions legally, so they oppose this type of blue.
Green : values of equality and human rights represent in their eyes weakness and betrayal in the fight for Jewish Israel.
There is a future
Leading Values:
Orange : It represents the mostly secular public, advocates the values of progress and freedom, and strives to make the system efficient - therefore the dominant layer that operates it is the orange layer.
Blue : as a security concept and in the desire to maintain a Jewish majority.
It has a little green of human rights, but it is mainly motivated by the orange in these areas as well - the value of freedom is more important than the value of human rights.
Values that arouse objection:
Blue : in the sense of religious values.
Red : which represents a government revolving around power as it was during Netanyahu's rule.
The state camp
Leading Values:
Blue: statehood and security are the leading values.
Orange : in the context of an efficient, free and democratic system.
Values that arouse objection:
Red : values of power and cunning as characterized during Netanyahu's rule.
Green: overly liberal values which in their view endanger stability and security.
Religious Zionism
Leading Values:
Red - blue : values of using force (red) inspired by religious faith (blue).
Values that arouse objection:
Green : which represents the left parties and human rights.
Blue : which represents the Supreme Court and preference for non-religious laws.
Israel is our Home
Leading Values:
Adom : Despite Lieberman's association with parties of a state nature, still the leading values of Israel Beiteinu are leadership through centralized power and government belonging to the red layer.
Orange : It represents the mostly secular public, advocates the values of progress and freedom, and strives to make the system efficient.
Values that arouse objection:
Green: values of freedom of expression and human rights that characterize green, are seen by red eyes as a weakness and as an obstacle to promoting a centralized government.
Blue : which represents religion and the rule of law in excess.
Working:
Leading Values:
Blue: Blue values of security and high rule of law are dominant at work. The dominancy of the blue values at work are the difference from the Meretz party.
Green - as in Meretz, also at work there is support for the values of equality and human rights. .
Values that arouse opposition:

March
Leading Values:
Green - values of equality, progress and human rights.
