“…The MOU is not ‘not legally binding’ and the funding must be approved by Congress each year, noted Lara Friedman, the president of the progressive Foundation for Middle East Peace. Accordingly, the issue isn’t set to be revisited until the next budget is presented and then both Republican and Democratic senators and representatives would weigh in.”

“Though progressives welcomed the announcement as evidence of AIPAC’s retreat, it’s far from a sign that AIPAC is backing down. The group is expected to continue spending heavily on elections through its super PAC, which took advantage of campaign finance loopholes to conceal its involvement in several races this cycle until after elections had already passed. To Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, AIPAC’s opting for obscurity shows that ‘its brand has become politically radioactive.'”

“…For decades before it started spending directly on elections, ‘AIPAC operated in the shadows,’ Friedman, of Foundation for Middle East Peace, said. Its endorsements were once ‘clear but unofficial,’ she added, and its funding operated through ‘informal understandings with big donors and allied but ostensibly independent PACs.’

Today, ‘AIPAC is trying out a sort of middle road,’ Friedman said. ‘It will return in part to the shadows — no direct endorsements, no direct donations — but it will also continue to flex its power directly in elections, via tactics it has been testing and honing these past four years.’

If anything, next cycle could see an expansion of the recent pop-up PAC strategy, making it harder to tell when AIPAC is involved — until it’s too late.”
