Freshly created and poorly named Lemmy.World community "Truth About Tim Waltz does not appreciate people posting the truth about Tim Walz.

In a blatant attempt to whitewash the Genocide supporting VP candidate Tim Walz, the mods remove posts and ban users mentioning that Tim Walz lied to pro-Palestinian supports about meeting them to discuss the Genocide and promptly cancelled the meeting at the last moment.

    Anti-war activists in Minnesota: ‘Governor Walz has refused to meet Palestinian families’

    It’s been 10 months since Israel’s war on Gaza began, and Governor Tim Walz, the newly appointed vice-presidential nominee on Kamala Harris’ ticket, has yet to meet with Palestinian families from his home state of Minnesota, anti-war activists have told Middle East Eye.

    The accusations are in stark contrast to the public image being conjured up by the Democratic Party establishment to present Walz, along with presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, as more sympathetic and empathetic towards the carnage suffered by Palestinians over the past 10 months.

    Sana Wazwaz, the chapter lead and education coordinator for American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) Minnesota, told MEE the Palestinian community had been trying for months to arrange a meeting with the governor to talk about the devastating losses in Gaza and their demands for an arms embargo on Israel.

    When they did manage to arrange a meeting with the governor for early July through the Council on Islamic American Relations (Cair), it was cancelled even before it began.

    When they explained to the governor’s staff that they had come to discuss “material solutions” with the governor and not merely to narrate “sob stories” about the loss of their loved ones - given that it was now almost a year since the war on Gaza began - the two staffers abruptly got up and returned 15-20 minutes later to inform them the meeting had been cancelled.
