Steven Feldman
I · U.S. House, NC-10 · Tier 4/5
Tier 4/5, between “Critical / conditions aid” and “Critical on most positions”
His campaign’s positions page pledges to “Stop supporting Israel’s mistreatment and killing of Palestinian families,” adding: “as an American Jew who lost family in the Holocaust, I passionately believe that the Israeli government’s current policy is morally and strategically wrong.” The page links an April 2024 Libertarian Party of North Carolina position paper he co-wrote, which “opposes subsidies given to the government of the state of Israel which come from U.S. taxpayer funds,” condemns “war crimes committed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) against civilians in Gaza,” “keeping Palestinian families refugees from their homes” and apartheid, and also condemns Hamas’s October 7 attack. In an October 2024 campaign video he said Israel “was created by expelling entire villages of peaceful non-Jewish families from their homes” and that peace “can come by apologizing, rebuilding the Palestinian villages that were destroyed, inviting refugee families to return to their homes, and living together in peace.” A Winston-Salem dermatologist, he is on his second Libertarian run in NC-10. In the summer of 2017 he joined the roughly two-week trip that Greensboro Quakers Max and Jane Carter lead each year to tour the region and volunteer in Ramallah; in a Winston-Salem Journal column he wrote that a former Israeli soldier took the group through Hebron, that he broke bread in Palestinian homes and met “Palestinian workers, teachers, children, religious leaders, refugees and legislators,” and that it was emotionally moving “to see apartheid happening.” On the state Libertarian Party’s 2026 candidate page he says he has “visited the homes of Palestinian families in the West Bank.”
A 4/5. In his own words he would stop U.S. support for “Israel’s mistreatment and killing of Palestinian families,” and the April 2024 state Libertarian Party paper he co-wrote opposes U.S. taxpayer subsidies to Israel’s government and condemns IDF war crimes in Gaza, refugees kept from their homes and apartheid. What carries him toward the critical end is the Nakba in his own voice: in an October 2024 video he said Israel “was created by expelling entire villages of peaceful non-Jewish families from their homes” and that peace “can come by apologizing, rebuilding the Palestinian villages that were destroyed, inviting refugee families to return to their homes, and living together in peace.” What keeps him short of 5 is that he neither names the genocide nor addresses weapons, his subsidy cutoff grows out of his party’s opposition to all foreign aid, and the paper condemns Hamas’s October 7 attack and recognizes “the right of all people to self-defense.” Counter-case: 4, since the return is framed as reconciliation, dates from his 2024 run, and rides on a blanket libertarian aid cut.
