So American lives are actually on the line with this one, eh?

We saw what happened in Afghanistan. It’s not looking good for our citizens.

No he’s sending weapons, warships and fighter jets.

The House needs to elect a speaker so we can send financial aid too.

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t SFOD Delta created specifically to deal with these sort of situations?

Why haven’t they been inserted to try and extract Americans and save hostages? And pop a few Hamas melons while at it?

Always. What “help” does Israel need to deal with a couple hundred goat rapers?

There are likely a few American hostages embedded deep in Gaza along with hundreds of others. That would be an unbelievably crazy operation.

My guess is that Israel will simply invade with intense force and try to save some hostages but they are likely to all get killed as soon as Israel rolls tanks in.

Weve been sending them near 4 billion a year in military aid for a while now.

That’s sadly the most likely scenario.

If they cannot be saved, they can at least be avenged.

How many other countries are sending financial aid?

Germany most likely will send financial aid. They historically do so in these situations when Israel is brutally attacked.

Is now the time to debate whether we should be sending Israel any money? We’ve been sending a cool 4 bil a year going back aways.

There is also video footage of one of the most horrific attacks of a young German woman who was killed and paraded around in the streets. Germans are pissed…

They probably wish they were dead by now, especially the women.

The hostages, IMO, are going to be so abused it is unlikely they will ever recover.

Yes, it is always time to debate sending money. 4 billion a year should be sufficient along with military aid.

Yeah- I don’t see any scenario where they live. Maybe one in a million a few of them escape. Qatar is trying to broker a deal to free the hostages. Not much time left before Israel masses an attack.

Again- I appreciate the consistency from folks who oppose aid to Ukraine. Just disagree completely.

I hear the UN is having an emergency meeting on… Tuesday.

What do we pay the UN for?

All the UN does is write strongly worded memos. The organization is useless because of how it is designed.
