While more than 200 innocent people remain hostages of Hamas barbarians in Gaza following the October 7 attack and massacre, there’s another group of people trapped in the Gaza Strip — also by Hamas, mind you — that the apparent terrorist sympathizers in government, media, and entertainment conveniently don’t mention.
As Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan discussed with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” this Sunday, there are “hundreds” of “Palestinian Americans” who were living or visiting the Gaza Strip when Hamas launched its bloody war — all of whom are being prevented from leaving by Hamas.
Remember all that talk about Gaza being an “open-air prison” and how Israel is an “occupying force” the leftist Hamas sympathizers have been blathering about? Well, it turns out — as any sane person knew — that Hamas is actually the occupying force, bringing only death and terror to the Gaza Strip. Hamas is also, unsurprisingly, keeping Americans who lived or were visiting Gaza as prisoners.
The government of Egypt said they would allow the American citizens to exit Gaza into their country and Israel has said it would allow such a departure, but Hamas still won’t let them leave. Yet those condemning Israel and propping up Hamas as justified “freedom fighters” through grossly warped logic won’t mention the plight of those “Palestinian Americans.”
Here’s the conversation between Tapper and Sullivan, via CNN (emphasis added):
TAPPER: I know you can’t just send in SEAL Team Six to get the hostages in the Hamas tunnels, because, first of all, you don’t even know where they are.
But this is hundreds of American citizens by the Jaffa gate — I’m sorry — by the Rafah gate. They’re stuck too. They can’t get out. Two weeks ago, I asked you about them, and you said it was Hamas who wouldn’t let them out, but the Israelis were ready, the Egyptians were ready.
What’s going on? When can they get out?
SULLIVAN: So, just as there is ongoing discussions and negotiations over the hostages, we are facing a similar situation with the American citizens and other foreign nationals who are trapped in Gaza.
It is true the Egyptians are prepared to allow American citizens and foreign nationals to come through the Rafah gate into Egypt. The Israelis have no issue with that. Hamas has been preventing their departure and making a series of demands. I can’t go through those demands in public, but that is the subject of the discussions and the negotiations that are ongoing.
We are trying to work through those to get to a point where we have secured the safe passage of any American in Gaza who wants to leave. We are in contact with them on a near-daily basis. We will continue to stay focused on this.
So, in addition to the hostages taken during their massacre and raid of Israel, Hamas is trying to wheel and deal to receive something — likely a ceasefire or more supplies to continue operating its terror tunnels and launching attacks against Israel — in return for allowing “Palestinian Americans” to leave the Gaza Strip.
For those inexplicably advocating for terrorists’ interests, to admit that Hamas is the entity holding “hundreds” of people effectively hostage by preventing them from leaving is to concede that the terrorists are the problem, the ones operating an “open-air prison,” and not Israel — which would allow the trapped Americans to leave — or any other country, like Egypt, which would allow their exit.
You see, it’s a-ok when Hamas does the same thing terrorist sympathizers accuse Israel of doing (but which Israel is not actually doing), because “occupation,” or some other anti-Semitic lie about Israel.
Nope, it’s a clear demonstration of Hamas terrorists’ true motives — and that’s why you won’t hear much about the hundreds of trapped “Palestinian Americans” whom Hamas is holding captive within the borders of the Gaza Strip.
This is @JakeSullivan46 to @jaketapper on Hamas holding 600 Palestinian Americans hostage in Gaza:
“Hamas has been preventing their departure and making a series of demands. I can’t go through those demands in public…”

America is better off without them. What the hell did they come here for to go back to that shit hole in the Middle East? Thought they all came here to escape persecution and to live a normal life and the American dream? Hope they don’t come back. Probably trouble makers. We have millions of those invading the southern border now.
No one should kid theirselves any Palestinian who returned to Gaza participated in the October 7th slaughter and should be permanently banned from ever entering America.
Do these terrorist sympathizers need any more proof that Hamas cares about NO ONE….if they can murder babies, they have zero empathy or respect for life and will kill anyone. I am appalled at how many braindead Americans are in support of terrorists!! Then again, I shouldn’t be too shocked considering public education and higher learning in our country are nothing more than brainwashing institutions for the left. Look at all the idiots who still support Biden even after all that has been revealed. They are in denial of reality. They think men can menstruate for fuck’s sake!!!! So does this surprise me? No.
there should be no negotiation with Hamas for our people being set free..this go’s to show how weak Biden and his staff are..had this been trump there would be no talking trump would have told Hamas you have 24 hours to let them go or the bombs start falling….Hamas knows that Joe is weak and that we have clowns here who support them that is why there playing this game and when not if but when Americans there are killed in the fighting Hamas can point fingers…Sleepy ops i pooped my pants Joe should carpet bomb the whole area and not stop till our People are free
If someone supports a terrorist group and their actions then they themselves should be prosecuted as terrorists. The pro Hamas protestors in the United States should be prosecuted and exiled or deported from the United States because they back and support the murder of innocent men, women and children by terrorists. Terrorists are rabid animals and should be put down just like a rabid dog,fox,racoon or so on would be put down.
Hamas in its entirety must be destroyed forever. These low life people have found a cause that makes themselves of use (otherwise, uneducated & no future) are trying to control Palestinians (like a mafia).
Kill them all & you will have peace
