Scope — who is tracked. This roster places candidates who have taken a documented position on Palestine and Israel or who have been targeted by the tracked pro-Israel and Palestinian-rights money and endorsement networks — and the other candidates on the November ballot in those races: every major-party nominee, and minor-party and independent candidates who have taken a position. It is not a complete list of every candidate in every race. A candidate's absence is a scope choice, not an oversight; a Tier 0 / NR marking means no individual position is yet on the public record — not that the candidate is neutral or that the entry is wrong.

Method — How the Ratings Work. Ratings are presumptions, not formulas — a starting placement the candidate's own documented record can override. The scale runs Tier 1 (firmest pro-Israel / Zionist) to Tier 6 (anti-Zionist support for Palestine); Tier 0 / NR means no documented individual position. A dashed thin record beside a tier means the rating rests on one or two statements rather than on votes or a long public stance; the card says what it rests on.
