RedState ^ | 08 October 2023 | Susie Moore

The news out of Israel since Hamas launched unprecedented vicious attacks early Saturday morning has been horrific. Latest reports place the Israeli death toll at more than 600, with thousands injured and dozens of people held hostage.

Now, there are reports that Americans are among those killed and held hostage. Israel's UN Ambassador, Gilad Erdan, told Will Cain on Fox & Friends Sunday that there are dozens of American citizens among those being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.

@Will Cain via X, formerly known as Twitter:

Was just told by Israel’s Ambassador to the UN that there are dozens of American citizens among the hostages in Gaza.

Lucas Tomlinson@foxnews

Secretary of State Blinken tells NBC: There could be American citizens among the hostages kidnapped by Hamas and now being held in Gaza.

Waking up Biden will do no good. He’s not in charge.

I am sure they looked for US citizens. After the Biden gift of cash fora few hostages, they know it could be another cash cow to fund their continued terrorism.

Saw a suggestion the other day: Send Commander and Major to the front line. U.S. Border Patrol works for me.

I’m sure Brandon would be happy to give money to Hamas.

Seriously, Americans are high-value hostages. The Iranians have proven that time and again. Hamas probably went out of their way to find and take Americans. An American in your dungeon is like money in the bank.

“Seriously, Americans are high-value hostages. The Iranians have proven that time and again. Hamas probably went out of their way to find and take Americans. An American in your dungeon is like money in the bank.”

That used to be true. The Obama and Biden administrations changed all that. They allowed Americans to be killed without reaction.

Weak US administration (obvious puppet leadership), demonstrably profitable hostages (recent fjb/iran deal) and a looming Saudi/Israel peace deal which iran stated they’d never let happen.

Can we collectively say, “DUH!!!”?????

Either an epic failure on Israeli & US intel, or it was intended to let happen as a distraction to current US events and, obviously, is 10x what they expected.

I hope they push the entire strip into the sea.

I have a lot of friends that visit the Holy Land in groups, so I hope none were there.

Oh oh. Jo Jo better get a bunch of pallets of Benjamins together. They’ve got a lot of American hostages. I wonder if they’d take some WNBA players in exchange for the hostages.

I believe the going rate is something like $1.2 billion per person.

US citizens who migrate to Israel don’t necessarily give up their US citizenship.

There are also Israeli citizens who acquired US citizenship one way or another, for example by being born in the US while their parents were working or going to college here.

Will they put them on TV begging for their lives? Will Biden negotiate for their return? Will they execute them live on TV? How will they blame Trump?

“Will this info change the FJB administration’s response? Will anyone be able to wake up Biden?’

More importantly, will it wake up the majority of Ameerican Jews that blindly support the commie DemocRATS in this country? I think not.
