I'm starting the harmony party (to be renamed something more authentic sounding later). Our Party will strive to live in peace with our Arab brothers around us. After all, we both worship the One True God.
To further our Party and our goals of peaceful coexistance, the Harmony Paper will also be released to bring about a peaceful transition from British Colonial rule to a Jewish and Palestinian State.

3. The HPI believes in democracy and all that it stands for. The HPI declares to preserve the ideals of democracy and all human rights.
4. The HPI believes in peaceful co-existance of all nations. It also believes in freedom of speech, religion and culture.
