HATIKVA: The Progressive Zionist Coalition

Click here to register to vote

We are American heirs of the founders of the State of Israel, the pioneers who settled the land, transforming the Zionist dream into reality. In the spirit of Hatikva, we stand for the progressive and peace-oriented vision of Israel¡¦s Declaration of Independence, that the reborn Jewish homeland is ¡§based on the precepts of liberty, justice and peace as taught by the Prophets; and will uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens, without distinction of race, creed or sex; and will guarantee full freedom of conscience, worship, education and culture.¡¨

Lihyot Am Chofshi B¡¦Artseinu
To Be a Free People in Our Land, we must not rule over another people.

To Be a Free People in Our Land, we must cherish the diversity
of Jewish cultural and religious expression.

To Be a Free People in Our Land, we must stand with Israelis working to build a future of peace, tolerance, social justice, and opportunity for all of Israel¡¦s citizens.

The HATIKVA Coalition Stands
for:

PEACE ?É PLURALISM ?É PEOPLEHOOD

Security through Peace: Peace through Negotiations; an end to the occupation that consumes the body and soul of Israel.

Full equality for all streams of Judaism; complete equality and civil rights for all Israeli citizens.

A social and economic system that does not tolerate hunger and poverty.

The Hatikva Slate is a coalition of Ameinu, Meretz USA, Habonim Dror, Hashomer Hatzair, and the Union of Progressive Zionists. Hatikva is competing in the 2005 World Zionist Congress Elections.
