!META-DESC					The scores above were calculated based on the total number of opportunities each candidate had to show support for either side of the conflict. Since incumbents have been in office for varying lengths of time, we’ve given them a fractional score showing the actual number of times they showed their support for one side or the other by sponsoring and/or voting on bills, legislation, etc.	The scores above were calculated based on the total number of opportunities each candidate had to show support for either side of the conflict. Since incumbents have been in office for varying lengths of time, we’ve given them a fractional score showing the actual number of times they showed their support for one side or the other by sponsoring and/or voting on bills, legislation, etc.	SOURCE	A political action committee (PAC) is an organization that raises money privately to influence elections or legislation, especially at the federal level. They endorse candidates and help raise money for them. There are currently 14 pro-Israel PACs. (One PAC - J-Street - is supportive of some pro-Palestinian positions. Any politician endorsed by J-Street receives one pro-Palestine point and one pro-Israel point. For more info on J-Street, click on the endorsement box for any candidate with a Palestine badge.) The 14 pro-Israel PACS are 1. J-Street 2. Republican Jewish Coalition 3. Pro-Israel America 4. S Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace 5. NorPAC 6. Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs 7. To Protect Our Heritage 8. US Israel PAC 9. National Action Committee 10. Democratic Majority for Israel 11. Maryland Association for Concerned Citizens 12. American Principles 13. SunPAC 14.

2020 Senate Scoreboard

Attention Mobile Users

Welcome

The Senate Scoreboard is brought to you by If Americans Knew. We’ve brought together voting records on Israel/Palestine for all Senators up for reelection and their challengers. You can view each persons’ records or check out the efforts of the Senate as a whole, with plenty of places to click for further information.

Scores: Each act of sponsoring, cosponsoring, and roll-call voting has been tallied, and individuals have been assigned a final score based on the number of actions they took for Israel or for Palestine. (It’s important to note that the bar is set low for “pro-Palestine” actions. In some cases an individual may have sponsored or voted for some of these bills because they considered it beneficial to Israel.)

For more information on the bills go here.

Where possible, we have provided links to background information to help you gain a deep understanding of the issue as a whole, or the specific topic of each bill or resolution. [For information on the Libertarian & Green Parties, see the article on Israel Palestine News.]

(As you view this, please keep in mind the current and past facts about this issue that are often missing from US news coverage.)
