He votes Meretz same as I do .
Our peace plan has never changed .

See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meretz

Ideology

Meretz defines itself as a left-wing, social-democratic party. It sees itself as the political representative of the Israeli Peace movement in the Knesset – as well as municipal councils and other local political bodies.
In addition to being a full member of Socialist International and the Progressive Alliance, it has participated in Global Greens conferences.
In the international media, Meretz has been described as left-wing, far-left, social-democratic, dovish, secular, civil libertarian and anti-occupation.

Stated principles

The party emphasises the following principles (not necessarily in order of importance):

Peace between Israel and the Palestinians, based on a two-state solution, as laid out in the Geneva Accord.
Freezing construction of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.


Human rights issues:

Struggle for the protection of human rights in the Israeli-occupied territories.
Rights of minorities in Israel (such as Israeli Arabs and foreign workers), fight against discrimination and support for affirmative action.
Egalitarianism.
LGBT rights.
Struggle for social justice:
Making Israel a social-democratic welfare state.
Protecting workers' rights and fighting against their exploitation (especially, though not exclusively, in the case of foreign workers and immigrants).
Separation of religion and state and religious freedom.
Liberal education.
Israel's security.
Environmentalism.



Its the only plan on the table because those that hold political power make the plans ……..duh .
