I get what you're saying. Tim Walz is actually very pro-Palestine and definitely not a Zionist. I don't think he should be ruled out because of his race and gender (he's not that old), as his progressive record speaks for itself.

He is not pro-Palestine, he cancelled a meeting with his Palestinian constituents twice 5 minutes before they were supposed to meet and he said this "The expansion of Israel… is an absolute fundamental necessity for the US”. He has not called out the genocide. There was no red line for him. I will say it again, I am tired of old white men being president.

Did you even read the articles you shared? From the AlJazeera one:

"In reality, though, Walz has never diverged from the party line of unconditionally supporting Israel, a position illustrated by his comments earlier this year at an event held by the Jewish Community Relations Council.

“The ability of Jewish people to self-determine themselves is foundational … The failure to recognise the state of Israel is taking away that self-determination. So it is anti-Semitic,” he said."

My point is clear, I don't want another old white man beholden to Israel for President. You will not convince to like Tim Walz. I don't.

Let me know when your perfect world exists. Until then, quit insulting me, and don't engage with me if you don't want to discuss things respectfully. I'm not looking to fight—that's not why I'm here.
