Vision Statement

As a progressive Zionist organization affiliated with the World Union of Meretz, Meretz USA is dedicated to two equally essential goals: First, the achievement of a durable and just peace between Israel and all its neighbors, especially the Palestinian people, based on a negotiated two-state solution. Meretz USA believes that Israel's ongoing occupation and settlement effort undermine the country's national interests, sully the image of Zionism, and inevitably lead to the violation of the human rights of those under occupation.

Second, and just as importantly, Meretz USA is dedicated to the realization of human and civil rights, equality and social justice for all of Israel's inhabitants - regardless of ethnic/religious identity, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation.
