GET AMERICANS OUT OF GAZA
Does thee U.S. Navy Fight for Israel or for Americans
I just watched Secretary of State Blinken announce the results of his 7.5 hour meeting with the Israeli regime of Binyamin Netanyahu. It seems the U.S. has gotten the Israelis to agree to provide some kind of humanitarian aid as it attacks Gaza.
I guess that is something worthwhile, but it seems there are about 500 Americans stuck in Gaza with no way out. The Egyptians, have refused to open the Rafah crossing and the Israelis are not opening the Eretz crossing. So how are the Americans supposed to get out? Apparently Blinken got nothing in that regard.
I have an idea. The U.S. Navy now has two major Aircraft Carrier Battle Groups in the Mediterranean. What is stopping Biden from directing at least one of the ships of those battle groups to simply sail up to the long Gazan beach front and just pick the Americans up? Instead of telling the Americans to go to one end or the other of Gaza which is difficult if not impossible under present circumstances why not have the refugees tell the locations along the sea front of Gaza which they can reach and have the U.S. Navy send boats to those locations to pick them up?
That they have all been picked up might be good news for Biden when he arrives in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Great solution. The only reasoning that could apply to this approach not being taken is that Isreal doesn’t want it to happen. We can assume that they believe - at least - that Palestinian Americans are included with the rest of the Palestinian civilian population, collateral damage at best, terrorists at worst. Which in turn means the Israeli regime is content with killing Americans. As for non Palestinian Americans, we can only guess. Perhaps they are considered to be hostages of Hamas, therefore under Israel’s ‘Hannibal’ doctrine are to be considered merely collateral damage, along with all the other hostages, subservient to Israeli strategic objectives, whatever they are. Time will tell.
