Likud of course, but I miss Sharon's Kadima.

Meretz obviously. Without them, probably hold my nose and vote for Labor-Livni.

If Hadash were to get their act together though...

I would normally vote for Labor except when they have a crappy leader (ie not a very economically left-wing one). They have a crappy leader so I would vote Hadash as a protest vote.

Probably Yisrael Beiteinu; they're the party of the Russian community and their views on the West Bank and on secularism are very similar to mine. They would be the default party (and they're who I voted for). If the corruption scandal were to get bad enough, I could jump ship to another party, probably Yesh Atid (maybe Kulanu or Likud), but a reason has to be provided to not support Yisrael Beiteinu.

Jewish Home, since it's the only party really fighting for Israel's interests.

Hadash, as an anti-zionist Jew that rejects the existence of racist states.

That's an odd choice...the party is a symbol to Israeli centrism or Israel upper middle class culture how did a foreigner get to support them of all parties?

I don't know much at all about Israeli politics or parties, but I would probably vote for a generic center-left or centrist party that's also against any form of (further) settlements in Palestine. It also has to be free of the religious fundies.

Which parties would that include ?

Centrism and upper middle class culture makes it a very logical pick for many Atlas posters.

Other: Fatah

After all, if Israel is going to treat the West Bank as something it alone will decide the fate of, then the political parties of its legitimate inhabitants should be an option.

Labour-Livni, Yesh Atid, maybe Kulanu because he's quite vague on these matters.

It would do the Palestinians more good than continuing to pretend that Israel has any interest in a real two state solution at the moment.  Surely there are some Fatah members in East Jerusalem who could submit a list since they've been arbitrarily annexed into Greater Israel.

Thx.

The Labor-Hatnuah ticket would probably make the most sense for me I guess, after reading a bit about them.

BTW: Is there any real Green Party in ISR ?

Meretz would be the closest to what you're describing. Labor would probably work if you wanted to vote for a major party. Yesh Atid is vaguely centrist, for sure, and definitely secular, but seems to avoid talking about the Palestinian issue like the plague.
