The Peace and Freedom Party condemns the U.S. government’s funding of genocidal attacks on Palestinians. Both parties of the billionaires are responsible for the crimes and human rights violations of the current Israeli government, through their supply of weapons and diplomatic support.
There should be an immediate end to the Israeli blockade of food, fuel, and medicine destined for Gaza. There should be an immediate, permanent ceasefire – all Palestinian parties are willing, only the Israeli government blocks this.
The escalating violence against Palestinians on the West Bank needs to end.
As we advocate ending the US role as provider of advanced weapons to many countries, and both sides in many conflicts, we would end the transfer of deadly weapons to Israel, Egypt, and other countries.
United States financial, economic and diplomatic support for the Israeli government should end until it ends its blockade of Gaza; until Israel ends its occupation of the Palestinian territories illegally occupied since 1967; until the illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank are withdrawn to land inside the pre-1967 borders of Israel; and until the Israeli government releases Palestinian detainees, prisoners of war, and political prisoners, against whom the use of torture is well-documented.
We condemn human rights violations against Palestinian, Bedouin, and Druze minorities within Israel.
We support those inside Israel refusing military service in occupied territories.
We oppose violence against people based on their religion, ethnicity, or politics.
We support equal rights and self-determination for all peoples.
