Partners For Progressive Israel
HistoryAs a progressive Zionist organization affiliated with the World Union of Meretz, Partners for Progressive Israel 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. Partners for Progressive Israel 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, Partners for Progressive Israel 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.SpecialtiesPartners for Progressive Israel (formerly Meretz USA) is a progressive American Zionist non-profit organization, dedicated to two essential goals: 1. 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. 2. The realization of human and civil rights, equality and social justice, and environmental sustainability, for all of Israel's inhabitants. Partners for Progressive Israel, through its projects, encourages American Jews to develop a direct, personal involvement with Israel, in particular through involvement with the country's progressive groups. Partners for Progressive Israel also strengthens these ties in the United States by offering educational events, in-depth analysis of developments in Israel, forums for discussion of these developments, and avenues for supporting Israeli groups working to advance our goals.
