About the IsraelScore™ Index
Methodology:
The legislation affecting the IsraelScore™ of each member of Colorado’s congressional delegation pertained directly to Israel, the Palestinians, Iran, and Jerusalem during the current, 113th Congress (through March 24, 2014).
The legislation was identified through an international affairs online search of the Library of Congress records. All of the senators and congresspersons indexed by IsraelScore™ were provided an opportunity to supplement or modify the online search results.
Legislation pertaining to the celebration of American Jewry, worldwide Jewry, Jewish heritage and culture, and honorifics of prominent Jewish or Israeli leaders, were not counted in the results.
Likewise, legislation pertaining to religious freedoms in the Middle East in general, or Iran in particular, was not considered. For Iran, only legislation pertaining to its nuclear program was weighed.
Scoring:
Not voting for a piece of legislation did not affect the IsraelScore™ results.
Voting in favor of a piece of legislation pertaining to support of Israel earned members of the Colorado congressional delegation a single point.
Co-sponsoring a piece of legislation in favor of Israel earned members of the congressional delegation two points.
Had any members of the Colorado congressional delegation sponsored a piece of legislation pertaining to the support of Israel, he or she would have earned three points. None did.
Had any members of the congressional delegation opposed a piece of legislation pertaining to the support of Israel, or supported a piece of legislation opposing Israel, he or she would have lost points. None did.
One of the bills relating to Iran called for an easing of sanctions against the rogue nation. Had any members of Colorado’s delegation supported that legislation, he or she would have lost points. None did.
Legislation calling for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was noted, but because of the ongoing debate over whether such a move is actually in Israel’s best interest, was not factored into the IsraelScore™ rankings.
The scoring tended to favor members of the House of Representatives over members of the Senate. That is because during the current Congressional session there have been more opportunities to voice support for Israel in the House than there have been in the Senate.
Legislation:
The legislation considered in determining the IsraelScore™ of Colorado’s congressional delegation included fourteen bills related to Iran (six House, eight Senate); nine proposals related to Israel’s security (seven House, two Senate); four pieces related to Jerusalem (three House, one Senate); three bills related to the Palestinians (all in the House); two proposals related to waivers of Israeli visas (one House, one Senate); and one piece related to Gaza (in the Senate).
Two of the proposed bills that counted towards Israel’s security could also have been applied to the Iranian category.
In total, seventeen of the examined legislative proposals failed to garner any votes among the members of the Colorado delegation: These included nine related to Iran (three House, six Senate); two related to Israel’s security (one House, one Senate); two related to Jerusalem (one House, one Senate); two related to the Palestinians (both in the House); one related to waivers of Israeli visas (in the Senate); and one related to Gaza (in the Senate).
There were three pieces of legislation pertaining to support of a two-state solution (two House, one Senate). One of the House bills and the proposal in the Senate failed to garner any votes from the Colorado delegation.
