Golda Meir

Modern Secular Zionism is an Economically Syncretic Civically Liberal Culturally Left-Wing Radical Centrist and Liberal wing of Zionism, that represents the ideology of LocalLiberal. It is heavily influenced by Third-Way ideology, as it deems it to be the only viable solution to the conflict in the Middle East. It advocates for a two-state solution and wants to establish a lasting peace in Israel in order to help its people get back on their feet and recover the state from the ultraorthodox coalition. This is because it regards religion of all sorts to be a key factor to the instability in the Middle East, specifically Radical Islam and Radical Religious Zionism - both of which support the extermination of the other, and therefore wishes to work with western powers to completely de-radicalise the Middle East in return for the establishment of a regional trade union and the recognition of the State of Israel by all of its members. It also advocates for reforms on healthcare,The Knesset and societal attitudes through the education system.

Reforms | רפורמות

Healthcare

Modern Secular Zionism Believes in a set of healthcare reforms to improve its accessibility and efficiency. Such reforms include:

• Free Healthcare, similar to that of the NHS
• Improve the pay of key workers
• Build more hospitals to make sure that there is one accessible to anyone within 30 minutes.

The Knesset | הכנסת

'Modern Secular Zionism believes that the AMS voting system should be adopted in Israel, along with the separations of districts with each one having their own representatives. This way, areas predominantly populated by Arabs will have a higher chance of representing the Arab population in its district and so on.

• Modern Secular Zionism Believes that the Knesset must take on the Semi-Parliamentary system, in which:
  • A president, who is elected by the people appoints a cabinet.
  • The representatives in the Knesset, whether or not they are a part of this cabinet, approve of this cabinet.
  • The cabinet and the president appoint a Prime Minister
  • The Prime minister deals with domestic issues
  • The president deals with foreign policy and diplomacy.

Education | חינוך

Modern Secular Zionism believes that liberal values should be taught in education, as well as the promotion of coexistence with the Palestinians. Free university education must be given to those who served in the army

Economy | כלכלה

Fundamentals | יסודות

• Modern Secular Zionism believes that:
  • There must be a free market
  • The market must be a fair one
  • Monopolies must not exist
  • Regulations must be put in place to ensure eco-friendliness
  • Economic Liberalism (in terms of minimal government intervention)

Modern Secular Zionism also believes in a Socialist Liberal Democracy :

• • There must be a Market Socialist economy with the Illyrian model in place
    • Therefore workers own their workplace collectively and are able to compete in the free market together.
    • There must be an establishment of Co-ops, close ties between the government and Histadrut
    • worker's self-management will take place by electing self-directed management, not specialized managers.
    • The hopes of this is to improve worker's motivation and morale, so that competition in the free market is innovated and growth is produced as a result.

Private property | רכוש פרטי

Private property is a necessity in any economy. However, the only exception in private property would be in a kibbutz (that chooses to use socialist principles) where the farmland is owned collectively by all its residents.

Taxation | מיסוי

These are the specific taxes that Modern Secular Zionism believes are relevant in modern Israeli society:

• • • Progressive income tax (low)
    • 45% Inheritance tax
    • 10% Place of Worship tax
    • Medical tax (₪50 a month for GP + % of annual salary at the end of each financial year)
    • Tariffs (on imports)
    • Land Value Tax
    • Special tax on competition / gameshow / lottery winnings of 40%"

The Palestinian issue | בעיאת הפלסטינאיים

Modern Secular Zionism believes that both the Israeli side and the Palestinian side are at fault and therefore both must need to change their ways before a two-state solution can take place.

• Israeli settlers must back out of the west bank
  • there will be a referrendum held for arabs in East Jerusalem on whether they would want to live under Israeli governance or Palestinian governance.
• Israelis and Palestinians will be granted access to religious sites of their faith (Christianity, Judaism or Islam).
• Both Hamas and Fatah must be removed from power as neither powers are cooperative.
  • A new administration approved by both the President and the Knesset will be put in as a replacement to govern the Palestinian people.
    • This will ensure cooperation between the two powers.
• Palestinians who wish to become Israeli citizens must go through a background check before being granted an Israeli citizenship and vice versa
  • Israeli citizens will be allowed to visit Palestinian territories and vice versa
    • It is important to note that unless a dual citizenship is held, neither side will be allowed to settle in the opposite territory.
• Both governments will work closely to maintain peace amongst their nations.

Foreign Policy | מדיניות חוץ

Due to its heavy influence of Third-way politics, Modern Secular Zionism takes an Interventionist stance towards peace-making, with a policy of Peace-Making in favour of Human rights Modern Secular Zionism encourages trade deals that increase worker's rights in foreign countries.

The Middle East | המזרח התיכון

Modern Secular Zionism believes that as the only democratic state in the Middle East, it is up to Israel to work towards establishing peace within the Middle East.

Iran

One of the key reasons the Middle East is in a hardship is becaust of Iran's islamic regime. Modern Secular Zionism believes that the collapse of the Islamic Regime is a vital factor to establishing peace within the region. It therefore wishes to:

• • Work with Western Powers to overthrow its regime
  • Weaken its sphere of influence.

This can only be done by destroying its proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis etc...) To ensure that Israel and Palestine are not at risk during this operation.

Lebanon

Another issue is the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon. A third Lebanon war would be catastrophic, and so Modern Secular Zionism believes that Lebanese groups must be funded in order to gain support from the lebanese people in order to establish a stable government within Lebanon, in hopes to completely eradicate Hezbollah. However, a war is inevitable as Iran would likely increase funding to Hezbollah in order to ensure it is not overthrown, therefore a war must begin within the country at first, then externally from Israel and Palestine (with the help of Western troops too). The hopes are to restore democracy in Lebanon and restore cooperation between Lebanon and Israel.

Syria

The current civil war in Syria is a brutal and complex one. Modern Secular Zionism believes that at its current state, peace is near-impossible, even with intervention. It believes that the easiest way to establish peace is to remove the proxies (Iran and Russia) from the image. This is, again, a complicated one and therefore not worth risking a world war breaking out. Modern Secular Zionism is also heavily critical of the Assad Regime and supports a free kurdistan

• Timocratic Neocameralism - You support free markets, are a liberal and love your country. But whats with the Middle Age inspired law system?
•   Lehianism - A fellow Zionist and Market Socialist! I agree that the spread of Islam is a worrying one, which is why a Palestinian state should be established to provide a country for them to live in. I disagree with a strong religious state as the foundation of Zionism is to be a free nation in Eretz Yisrael, not an authoritarian one. (Drop the Kahanism, its a terrorist ideology).
• Schumacherianism - I agree with most of your views on liberty and hate for islamism. Lets keep it like that :D
