The United Zionist Socialist Party (UZSP), having rebranded, renewed, and reenergized, wishes to announce it's official Manifesto and Platform. We embrace an Israel where unity and the exchange of ideas flourishes, and we look forward to a golden age of Israeli growth, prosperity, and civil inter-party efforts to help our nation reach her glory.
The UZSP is, above all else, a party of the people. We pride ourself as more than simply a political party, but rather as an inclusive, burgeoning Movement. The UZSP embraces ALL citizens, regardless of experience, age, or level. We welcome new members to grow with our party, and make an impact on the future of our great nation from day one.
To our fellow Israeli Political Parties, we look forward to working together and changing the debilitating culture of partisan politics. To our fellow Israeli Citizens, we invite you to join us, and at long last, be HEARD.

History
The UZSP began in September 2009 as the Israeli Progressive Party (IPP)[1]. The party was founded by Charles Nimitz. In the Congressional elections that month four candidates ran for the party[2]. Of those four, Charles Nimitz, Sam Krakower, and Acesolid were elected to Congress[3]. In October, Charles Nimitz ran for president under the IPP but lost to CJ Will Win. Later in October the IPP was rebranded as the United Zionist Socialist Party (UZSP) and a party manifesto was released[4]. Earlier that month a PTO of the fledgling party was attempted but failed miserably[5].
The idea for the UZSP came from Sir Valaro Volcrum, and with Charles Nimitz, Ezekiel Ben-Or and Hyman Roth, the UZSP was given birth from the IPP. During Jewyoyo's second term as party president, in March 2010, party members voted almost unanimously to change the name of the United Zionist Socialist Party. For a while party members had felt like the name was too long, and that it was time for a change. Jewyoyo waited for the next Party President elections to formally make the change. On April 15, the United Zionist Socialist Party formally became the United Zionist Party.
Youth and paramilitary
The party had both youth unit called UZSP Aid For Immigrants and its own paramilitary unit known as Maccabee Strike Force.
