Meretz Supporters Abroad
A number of progressive Zionist organizations that share many of the ideas and ideals of Meretz are affiliated with the Israel-based World Union of Meretz; this includes Meretz USA in the U.S. and the London-based Meretz UK, France's Cercle Bernard Lazare. The World Union of Meretz has representation in a number of organizations, such as the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish National Fund.
Meretz USA joined with other progressive Zionists in the United States and Canada to form the Union of Progressive Zionists, which later became J Street U, a college student network, as well as the Jewish Academic Network for Israeli-Palestinian Peace.
Hashomer Hatzair, a progressive Zionist youth movement with branches in many countries, is informally associated with Meretz through its historic connection with Mapam.

Famous quotes containing the word supporters:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
