Israel party
Northern Islamic Movement
الحركة الإسلامية في إسرائيل (الجناح الشمالي) התנועה האסלאמית - הפלג הצפוניThe northern faction of Israel's Islamic Movement, which split from the southern (Ra'am) faction in 1996 by refusing to participate in Knesset elections. Outlawed by Israel in November 2015 under emergency defense regulations on the grounds of alleged ties to Hamas; the movement continues to operate informally and was historically a major political and civic force among Palestinian citizens of Israel.
Designated an illegal organization by the Israeli Ministry of Defense on 2015-11-17 under the 1945 Defense (Emergency) Regulations; designation has been challenged but remains in force.

Position — all axes
Declared vs. behavioral
For the axes below, this party's declared position (what the party says in its platform / official rhetoric) diverges from its behavioral position (its record of votes, coalition choices, or public actions). The spread itself is the methodological point — capturing the gap that a single composite score collapses.
- Liberal democracy spread: 6.0D: +5.0 B: -1.0 C: -4.0
Lens spreads are currently hand-coded on a curated set of cases where the gap is well-documented. Document-grounded scoring against the party's own platform documents (declared) and its voting / coalition record (behavioral) will scale this across the dataset. See methodology for the full lens-system roadmap.
