You may be right on that one Joys1Daughter! That could be very interesting. Although, I wonder will any of them speak English or have any love for DJT or the U.S.?
Let me clarify.
Back when I was reading about these American hostages that were taken after the 10/7 attack, I wondered why these Americans were over in Israel in the first place. Were they on a tour or vacation? I then learned that all of these 'American hostages' were actually full-time Israeli citizens and residents who had lived their whole lives in Israel and had never lived in the U.S. or attended school here, or had any family here, except perhaps briefly, as infants.
So they weren't Americans who were unfortunately on vacation in Israel and were abducted. They were full-time Israeli citizens, period.
Now, why were they being called Americans, then? And why was the U.S. responsible for obtaining their release instead of Israel?
If Chuck Schumer (dual citizen with Israel) were abducted while in the U.S. by say, a Chinese terrorist, would he be announced globally as an Israeli citizen or an American? And who would be responsible for sending help? The U.S. or Israel? Should the U.S. expect a crack intel team from Israel to come rescue him and free him when he lived and worked full-time and raised his family in the U.S. ? I wonder.
Now these hostages might have been accidental or purposeful 'anchor babies' to obtain American privileges whenever needed, but beyond that, they seemed to have no other relation to America.
So why we should care so much about them? Especially when we have our own problems with real citizens suffering here?
Hehe...rant away CO, I understand. When I heard they were coming to me the Administration, I thought hmm? 🤔 Guess we'll see because even though this is not SOTU, I expect POTUS to pull out all the stops.
