ABSTRACT
The notion of a ‘Jewish vote’, used commonly in ordinary life as well as in many scientific works, is often inexact and ambiguous. It was developed in the United States for the American case, and before it can be applied to another country, it is important to discuss it critically. Indeed, it is not enough to say that, as citizens of different countries of the free Diaspora, the Jews vote in order for there to be a ‘Jewish vote’. The ‘Jewish vote’ is not simply the vote of the Jews. The idea implied in the notion is that the Jewish vote has an effect on political life.
