The Crisis in Gaza
The Populist Party opposes the recent passage of House Resolution 951, which condemns Palestinian rocket attacks but includes a strongly worded defense of recent aggressive Israeli tactics in the Gaza strip.

The House voted in approval, 404 to 1.

The U.S. should do now what it should have been doing in the Middle East (and the entire world) all along: strive for commercial relations with everyone, without attempting to manage the entire world political scene. 

The use of force in American foreign policy never seems to give the results that the politicians promise us.  Using force to take sides only encourages the opposition to do whatever it takes to gain power and use that same force for their political purposes.

It's time for each American to be given the freedom to support whatever side they want to - or to take no side at all.
