Matters were further complicated during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August when the DNC denied a Palestinian American from the Uncommitted National Movement an opportunity to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3132088\/democrats-take-major-risk-by-denying-uncommitted-movements-pleas-to-be-heard-at-dnc\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speak at the convention<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tensions within the Muslim American community have increased over the last year after the terrorist group Hamas launched an unprecedented attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Since then, Israel has been at war with Hamas in the Gaza region, leading to much criticism from people around the globe, including the U.S., where protests plagued college campuses nationwide earlier this year. In recent weeks, hostilities have significantly increased between Israel and other paramilitary Islamic groups in the Middle East, such as the Houthis and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Walz spoke about the conflict in the Middle East and empathized with Muslim and Arab Americans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As-Salaam-Alaikum,&rdquo; Walz <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/tim-walz-makes-direct-appeal-conflicted-muslim-voters-rcna173863\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> before discussing the crises in the Middle East.&nbsp;&ldquo;I know the pain of this community is deep. Our hearts are broken.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The scale of death and destruction in Gaza is staggering and devastating,&rdquo; the Minnesota governor stated. &ldquo;Tens of thousands of innocent civilians killed, families fleeing for safety over and over again. We all know on here, this war must end and it must end now.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The vice-president&rsquo;s working every day to ensure that, to make sure Israel is secure, the hostages are home, the suffering in Gaza ends now.
