VP Harris says US ‘will not waver’ in commitment to bring home American hostages held by Hamas |
2023-12-30 |
The question was raised the other day why we aren't hearing what the Biden administration is doing about the Americans being held hostage in Gaza. This is pretty much all they’re doing in addition to pushing Israel to give up more to Hamas in negotiations. [IsraelTimes] US Vice President Kámala HarrisFormer Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... says she and husband Doug Emhoff are "heartbroken" by the news that Judith Weinstein Haggai — previously believed held hostage — was murdered during Hamas ![]() ’s October 7 terror onslaught and her body is being held in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... The news came less than a week after the kibbutz announced that Judith’s husband, Gadi Haggai, initially thought to be held hostage, was also killed during the events of October 7. His body is also being held by Hamas. "Our prayers are with their families and all those who are mourning this loss," writes Harris on X. "To the families of Americans still held hostage: You are not alone. We will not waver in our commitment to bring home your loved ones,’ she says. Haggai and Weinstein, both dual Israeli-American citizens, were on their morning walk when gunfire erupted and missiles streaked across the sky on October 7. Taking cover in a field, they could hear a recorded voice from an alert system for their kibbutz, Nir Oz, in southern Israel. US President Joe The Big GuyBiden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... earlier issued a statement saying that "Jill and I are devastated to learn" of Weinstein-Haggai’s death. "This tragic development cuts deep, coming on the heels of last week’s news that Judy’s beloved husband, Gad Haggai, is believed to have been killed by Hamas," he said. "We are holding Judy and Gad’s four children, seven grandchildren, and other loved ones close to our hearts." Biden added: "I will never forget what their daughter and the family members of other Americans held hostage in Gaza, have shared with me. They have been living through hell for weeks. No family should have to endure such an ordeal." |

#10 Commitment seems like a affirmation of the obvious, sort of like my own unwavering commitment to oxygen! What is lack is what that commitment will cause them to do about it! |

#5 US bypasses congressional review for month’s second fast-tracked arms sale to Israel Fair enough, Grom. But they believe Israel’s war is getting in the way of negotiating for the release of the hostages, and they’ve been openly pressuring Israel to reduce the pace and increase the amount of aid sent across the border in order to seduce Hamas to the negotiating table, not to mention the question of whether Hamas or the PA will be given Gaza to run afterward. According to one report, President Biden abruptly hung up on Bibi yesterday when the prime minister refused. |
