Hamass needs the Palies to stay there so they can be used as shields for the Hamasses.

Send in FJB. He’s an expert at opening borders.

Egypt has a "Remain in Gaza" border policy.

Hamas controls the Gaza side of the Ramalah Crossing. Who in their right mind would walk up to Hamas and present an American Passport?

Are those Americans in Gaza on vacation or something?

Mostly visiting family, some activists/aid workers/volunteers. I would assume most are anti-Israel, anti-American, pro-Hamas. But they are Americans, so the US has to do what is required to rescue/help them. Kind of like Brittany Griner in Russia.

Funny that pretty much every "Palestinian American" I've ever met is an America hating, terror supporting radical. Persian and Iraqi Americans I know are the opposite, loving America and hating the terrorists that infest their homeland.

The Palestinians are largely infamous for hating everyone, which is why none of their neighbors want to take them in.

Our terrorist organization. My neighbor is flying a terrorist BLM flag at the moment, probably won’t come down until they are formally recognized in the US as a terrorist organization even though they are support Islamic Hamas terrorists.

The land in Egypt is nearly empty, compared to Gaza!

Oh that America had a 'remain in Mexico' policy!

Yeah I think giving the Sinai back to Egypt was probably a mistake.

It was a brilliant policy, and Trump even got Obrador to endorse it and dance to his tune. Now Brandon is Obrador's organ grinder monkey.

We give aid to Egypt. Maybe that gets put on immediate hold?

We give aid to everybody. The worse they treat us, the more pallets of cash they get.

Israel says it has turned on water to southern Gaza, but Water Authority says it can't confirm supply.

Well, it's going to be extremely difficult to distribute water in Gaza after Hamas dug up all of the water pipes to make homemade rockets ...

Well, I would say that the question answered itself.

Is that the total or just on the Israeli side, not counting any dead Hamas on the Israeli side who happen to be US citizens? (We do have our “baddies”.)
