NewPolicy.org has compiled a Congressional scorecard for the 435 lawmakers currently serving in the House of Representatives. The Representatives are scored based on their support for an American foreign policy in the Middle East that best serves the national interest and brings a swift end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Although, there was a range of criteria which the scores may be based upon, NewPolicy.org chose four major initiatives over the past year that have highlighted the efforts of Congressmen to steer American foreign policy toward America’s long term goals in the region. These four initiatives also sought to realign American foreign policy in the Middle East with American values of liberty and justice for all mankind. Finally, and significantly, these four initiatives will go a long way toward assuaging the tension between the Muslim world and the United States, rectifying the tarnished image of the United States as a blind supporter of Israel’s governments no matter how destructive their policies are to the Palestinians, to Israel, and, indeed, to the United States.
