I first learned about Zionism and AIPAC in 2011.

As disappointing as this is? It's still fewer candidates than before. A growing number of candidates are winning without AIPAC money.

In fact, money spent had no correlation with success in this midterm. Republican donors outspent democrats by 2-5 times.

It's not close to done, but politicians are paying attention. That's my take away.

I agree. We're heading in the right direction, and now we have to make the elimination of Israeli influence a major priority.

Its a multi-stage process and I can see it taking a long time, but much of it can be done in parallel.

I think the first thing, the hardest thing, is decoupling military hardware and software. Then halting arms sales and funding. Then, sanctions.

But they can at least start in parallel.
