Reports Vary Over Hamas Taking Americans Hostage, Killing Americans

It wouldn’t be surprising if true, since these Islamists are brutal, despicable people

U.S. working to verify reports of Americans dead or taken hostage in Israel attack, Blinken says

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday morning that the U.S. was working to verify reports that Americans have been killed or taken hostage as Hamas militants launched a large-scale offensive against Israel.

“We’ve got reports that several Americans are among the dead. We’re working very actively to verify those reports. At the same time, the reports of Americans being taken hostage — there too, we’re working to get the facts to find out if those reports are accurate,” Blinken told “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

Later on Sunday, a National Security Council spokesperson confirmed that several U.S. citizens had been killed.

“We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and to the families of all those affected, and wish those injured a speedy recovery,” the spokesperson said, adding, “We continue to monitor the situation closely and remain in touch with our Israeli partners, particularly the local authorities.”

So we do know that some have been killed. What about taken hostage? We know that Hamas is grabbing lots of hostages, including women and children. We know that they have been sexually assaulted, brutalized, tortured, and killed

(Forbes) An Israeli official has confirmed Americans are among the “scores” of hostages being held in Gaza following one of the largest attacks on Israel by militant group Hamas in decades, and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said officials are still working to verify reports of American deaths—as the total Israeli and Palestinian death toll passes 1,000 and Israel prepares for a large-scale response.

Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer told CNN Sunday that Americans are among the hostages being held in Gaza, though he wouldn’t estimate how many Americans were being held.

If true, I would hope that Biden would threaten Hamas to return those Americans unharmed immediately under threat of significant military action. We know that won’t happen.

Imagine how quick the Democrats would be calling for Trump to be impeached and imprisoned if he had done this.

Meanwhile, governments are needing to provide security for Jews from the religion of peace
