Palestine Free from the River to the Sea
The Free Palestine Party is now an official New Zealand list party and will
be on every ballot paper.
The Free Palestine Party is the only party in this election dealing with
the most pressing economic, political and moral issue facing Aotearoa and
the world today. This crisis is caused by the apartheid colony of Israel
backed by US military power destabilising the Middle East.
Over 60% of the people of Aotearoa believe that the New Zealand government
should sanction Israel for its human rights abuses, this rises to 68%
amongst 18-29 year olds.
The only way to bring peace to the Middle East, stop a global depression
and end the holocaust of our time, is to put an end to the apartheid state
of Israel, just like apartheid South Africa.
The people of Aotearoa helped fight for the end of the apartheid state of
South Africa and thousands of Kiwis today have joined the ongoing protests
against the crimes of Israel. It is time for Kiwis and Aotearoa to be
leaders in the struggle against Zionism and Israel, as we were in the
anti-nuclear and anti-apartheid movements.
The Free Palestine Party is bringing this issue to the centre of New
Zealand politics where it should be. We have six main principles in our
platform that will help in the fight against apartheid and will stop New
Zealand from being complicit in the crimes against humanity of Israel and
the United States:
1. The right of Return for all Palestinians
2. The primacy of international law and UN resolutions
3. Upholding Universal Declaration of Human Rights in relation to Zionist
abuses.
4. Single State Solution in the whole of Palestine
5. Unconditional support for all forms of Palestine resistance.
6. Independent NZ foreign policy & withdrawal from military & security
alliances with US.
The Free Palestine Party thanks all its members and supporters that helped
it become a registered party. Thanks to their efforts the party will
receive $82 000 dollars in public funding, the same as all other new list
parties, to help us achieve our goals.
Resistance Until Victory!
