Tiananmen Tim’s position on Israel and Hamas: He parrots the formal party line that Israel has a right to defend itself, but this is limited to self-defense, not offense. and permits arms embargoes, as long as they are of ‘offensive weapons.’

WCMU News asked Tim Walz:
[T]he Israel-Hamas war has been a hot button issue for Michigan voters. How would a Harris-Walz administration handle the conflict and would it break with the Biden administration in any way?
Walz’s response did not even mention the murdered Israel hostages, including an American, whose parents had been at the DNC; does not mention Hamas, instead he dismissively referred to Oct 7 in the sense of being ancient history; and bashed Israel and touted the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan.
He stated:
Well, I think first and foremost what we saw on October 7th was a horrific act of violence against the people of Israel. They have certainly, and the vice president said it, I’ve said it, have the right to defend themselves and the United States will always stand by that, but we can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen.
The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves. We need to continue, I think to put the leverage on to make sure we move towards a two state solution. I think we’re at a critical point right now. We need the Netanyahu government to start moving in that direction.
But I think those folks who are speaking out loudly in Michigan are speaking out for all the right reasons. It’s a humanitarian crisis. It can’t stand the way it is. And we need to find a way that people can live together in this and we’ve said it and continue to say it, getting a ceasefire with the return of the hostages and then moving towards a sustainable two state solution is the only way forward.
NOTE: Tiananmen Tim makes no mention of Hamas or Islamic terrorists at all in his answer. Oct 7th, somehow an entity in and of itself:
[W]as a horrific act of violence [with no specific party responsible. Certainly not the] Palestinian people [who deserve their own terror state.]
The only party he mentions is Israel and Netanyahu who need to be pressured to give in, withdraw and allow the Islamic terrorists to have their own state.
Accompanying this is the praise for the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, who are speaking out for “all the right reasons” like their support for Islamic terrorists.
Tiananmen Tim is no stranger to pandering to the Jihad crowd.
The Washington Examiner found:
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler.
Zaman [the moslem cleric, Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota], meanwhile, has used his Facebook page over the years to share official Hamas press releases…
Walz knows what he’s doing. He’s lying and pandering to Islamic terrorists.
