Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) spoke the plain truth about the nearly 500 Americans in Gaza not being allowed to leave by Hamas: They are being held hostage by the Islamist Palestinian terrorist group. The nearly 500 are in addition to the “less than ten” Americans known to have been taken hostage in the October 7 terror attack by Hamas on Israel. The Biden administration has said Hamas has been making demands for their release that the U.S. is not prepared to meet.
Being the strong horse in the Muslim world often not only persuades them to give up on harming you, but often develops into a genuine friendship as well.
The bigger point is, once again the WH grudgingly tells the truth in small installments, as they did about American citizens left behind in Afghanistan, and tried calling the willy-nilly abandonment of allies, NATO-member citizens and American citizens a “glorious triumph,” because he willy-nilly let in thousands of unvetted Afghans. Theairstrike that killed a peace worker and his kids was a “righteous counter-strike”. Same grudging relationship with the truth. Different war.
BTW, like it or not, a citizen is a citizen is a citizen, related to Rashida Tlaib or not. That’s a fundamental principle. Maybe they shouldn’t have been admitted, but here we are.
Time Biden's Impeachment to start at that exact moment, because that is exactly what the Democrats would do and did.
