I · U.S. Senate, Idaho · Tier 3/4

Tier 3/4, between “Pro-Israel, critical” and “Critical / conditions aid”

Position

A software developer and the Libertarian Senate nominee; he calls Thomas Massie “the best Congressman serving today.” His platform pledges “No more cash or weapons for Ukraine, nor for Israel, nor any foreign aid to any country” and says the U.S. “deploys military service members for use in maintaining a global monopoly on banking and expanding the borders of the state of Israel”; a May 2024 post said “the Neocon/Zionist faction and the pro-Israel elements of the progressive coalition are uniting to crush the identity socialists, who have come out in support of the Gazan Palestinians.”

Why this tier

A 3/4. His pledge to end cash and weapons for every country names Israel (“nor for Israel”), and his platform singles Israel out — the charge that U.S. forces serve in “expanding the borders of the state of Israel,” a criticism of Israeli expansion and of U.S. support for it, alongside a May 2024 post on a “Neocon/Zionist faction” uniting to crush the pro-Gaza left, which he also disparages as “identity socialists.” No Palestinian-rights content, genocide language or position on Israel as a Jewish state was found in his platform, posts or surveys, and the platform text, written for his 2024 House run, was reissued for the Senate race in October 2026. Counter-case: 3, since the pledge covers every country and the argument is against empire in general.
