Answer:
The position of Reform on the state of Israel is made clear in the
[5]1999 Statement of Principles
([6]http://www.ccarnet.org/platforms/principles.html):
* We are committed to (Medinat Yisrael), the State of Israel, and
rejoice in its accomplishments.
* We affirm the unique qualities of living in (Eretz Yisrael), the
land of Israel, and encourage (aliyah), immigration to Israel.
* We are committed to a vision of the State of Israel that promotes
full civil, human and religious rights for all its inhabitants and
that strives for a lasting peace between Israel and its neighbors.
* We are committed to promoting and strengthening Progressive
Judaism in Israel, which will enrich the spiritual life of the
Jewish state and its people.
* We affirm that both Israeli and Diaspora Jewry should remain
vibrant and interdependent communities. As we urge Jews who reside
outside Israel to learn Hebrew as a living language and to make
periodic visits to Israel in order to study and to deepen their
relationship to the Land and its people, so do we affirm that
Israeli Jews have much to learn from the religious life of
Diaspora Jewish communities.
