Activists from The International League of The People’s Struggle chanted “Tim Walz, you’re not welcome here,” and “From Palestine to the Philippines, stop the US war machine.”
According to the Seattle Times, the exclusive event had a price tag of $250,000 per person and was attended by a few dozen invitees, including Microsoft President Brad Smith and former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Local Democrats told The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI that they felt taken for granted because the VP nominee did not hold any public events during the brief trip and was using Seattle as "The Democratic Cash Machine."
Outside the home, activists from The International League of The People’s Struggle chanted “Tim Walz, you’re not welcome here,” and “From Palestine to the Philippines, stop the US war machine.” The group posted on Instagram that “The brave resistance of the Palestinian people in the face of 75 years of occupation serves as a call to confront Zionists, war profiteers, and the imperialists everywhere they go.”
Walz landed in the Seattle area Monday evening around 8:45 pm and Seattle area drivers experienced long delays as the VP nominee’s motorcade took him to the airport following the 9 am event and was seen arriving at Sea-Tac International Airport by 10 am. Soon after arriving, he boarded a plane with his daughter Hope to head to another fundraising event in Sacramento on Tuesday afternoon.
Activists slammed Walz for blocking traffic on area freeways, writing, “The full repressive apparatus of the state was on display as Medina police, highway patrol, SWAT teams, and Secret Service - brandishing assault weapons - escorted Walz to the fundraiser. They had the audacity to shut down State Route 520, cause traffic and chaos, just for Walz to collect checks from fake-progressive wealthy liberals for 45 minutes.”
Anti-Israel radicals have previously targeted high-profile Democrats who have come to Seattle to fundraise including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

Good. The Dems don't need to campaign in WA because it's a blue state. But maybe if enough Democrats in WA vote Jill Stein they'll get the message that their base is pissed. She's the only candidate speaking against the war crimes carried out by Israel against the entire population of Gaza, now also carrying out war crimes against civilians in the West Bank & Lebanon. Israel is now an international pariah state. The US is an equal partner in genocide. There will be blowback & it will hurt the US public, not the war pigs. Zionism causes antisemitism around the world. When people like Ari continuously equate the militaristic apartheid state with all Jews, he creates anger against all Jews for the crimes of the state & it's Zionist population who believe they have a right granted by God to squat in homes that are the property of Palestinians.
