These would be the same civilians who have backed and supported Hamas for decades. Oh, and the Americans taken hostage by State Dept designated terrorist group Hamas? Nothing. Just Americans who are in Israel
US pressing for safe passage of civilians out of Gaza, including Americans
As Israel gears up for a possible ground invasion of Gaza following the devastating terror attacks by Hamas, the U.S. is pushing for a safe passage for civilians to flee.
The Biden administration is in active discussions about the issue with Israel and Egypt, White House spokesperson John Kirby said on Wednesday, though no breakthrough has been reached on a humanitarian corridor or other action.
The Rafah border crossing from southern Gaza into Egypt, the only route out, has been closed.
“Civilians are not to blame for what Hamas has done,” Kirby said. “They didn’t do anything wrong, and we continue to support safe passage.”
Egypt is blocking the route from Gaza to Egypt, because they know that what will happen is Hamas fighters will cross over with all the Hamas supporting “civilians”.
Kirby added, “Civilians are protected under the laws of armed conflict, and they should be given every opportunity to avoid the fighting.”
They had that opportunity to boot out Hamas, and they didn’t. They help shelter them and help hide all the weapons. Israel typically warns of where they will strike, like at hospitals which are used to store weapons.
“And I think it’s important to remind that, especially on the Palestinian side, Hamas is directly endangering their lives. hospitals and schools,” Kirby added. “They didn’t ask for that either. And Hamas doesn’t speak for the majority of the Palestinian people or their aspirations for peace and security.”
Except, they voted Hamas in to office in 2006, and has gone along with there being no elections since. They stand by while Hamas attacks civilian targets in Israel. And cheer

They were cheering in Gaza, in the West Bank, in Iran, and, of course, in cities in the West.
And, what about the Americans being held hostage? Not finding anything on that. What is the Biden admin doing?
