Fend For Yourselves: Harrowing tales emerge about Americans seeking escape from Hamas onslaught and no support from a U.S. government caught with no contingency plan or answers for endangered Americans.

Former congressional staffer Yitz Friedman and his newlywed wife were wrapping up their honeymoon in Israel on Saturday with a religious holiday celebration at a synagogue near Jerusalem when the rabbi abruptly halted the service.

“In the middle of the prayers, the rabbi got up and he announced to the entire synagogue that anyone who's a reservist had to go home and check their phones, see what their orders were, because war had broken out,” Friedman recalled.

Soon, Friedman realized he and his bride were in peril as Hamas terrorists were hunting down American and Israeli citizens for executions or hostages. More bad news was in the offing. Friedman, a communications manager for the American Accountability Foundation nonprofit, was alerted a few hours later that the couple’s return flight Sunday to America was canceled amid the violent outbreak: All major U.S. airlines had suspended operations in the country.

He scrambled to find a way home but learned a painful reality encountered by hundreds of Israeli-Americans visiting their homeland this past weekend: The Biden administration for days has offered no evacuation help to its citizens in harm’s way inside the borders of one of the United States’ most trusted allies.

“We called our embassy there. We called, you know, our government,” he said in an interview to air Thursday on the John Solomon Reports podcast. “When I called them, they were very cold. They were dismissive. And they basically told me go online and check out the flights yourself.”

Friedman’s experience has been recounted by many American Jews that found themselves trapped this weekend by the sudden canceling of U.S. airlines flights in and out of Israel, members of Congress told Just the News. Days later, there still were no evacuation plans even as other countries extricated their own citizens. ....MORE

The Biden Crime Family is part of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

The purpose of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate is to put stolen money into the pockets of Democrat mobsters.

Young American girls kidnapped and chained in a basement to be gang raped by illegals for days?

Not a concern for them.

We are closing in on what - $175B for the Ukraine slush fund, but somehow can’t cut loose a few USAF cargo planes we already own plus fuel costs in order to evacuate Americans? This is disgusting. And even if we do find transportation, we are not going to evacuate anyone until they sign a promissory note to reimburse uncle sugar while this same uncle has no problems flying illegal aliens across our country and giving them free healthcare, free phone, free hotel space, free food, and who knows what other benefits but screw Americans who through no fault of their own, are in a litteral warzone.

I for one don’t expect much from someone who can’t evacuate their bowels properly.
