“Bring them home.” These are the words of the wristband I have been wearing for an entire year, a daily reminder of the innocent captives held captive in the dungeons of Gaza. This warning is especially necessary in the United States, where the plight of Hamas’ American hostages has barely registered in the public consciousness. Since October 7, 2023, calls for a ceasefire, campus protests, Iranian ballistic missile attacks, and international outrage over Israeli military and intelligence operations have dominated the headlines. The fate of Americans held hostage by Hamas is merely an afterthought.
Listening to the Biden administration, some may not know that of the 97 hostages still being held by Hamas, there are seven Americans, including four who are believed to be alive. do not have. When they talk about them, they rarely reaffirm that protecting the American people is a priority.
It is more than just a tragedy for these seven souls. It’s a loss for all American citizens, a loss of safety and security overseas. Blue passports, once the envy of billions of people around the world, have been desecrated.

The Biden administration worked on legislation instead of war. In response to Goldberg Pollin’s murder, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a statement on September 3, saying, “Mr. Yahya Sinwar was indicted on charges of
This lawsuit is just a topic and no souls will be saved. Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Hamas “bravely celebrates American deaths when they should be cowering in fear of the response they expect from spilling American blood.” “The perverted world after October 7th was well summarized.
If you listen to the Biden administration, the return of American hostages is tied to a cease-fire agreement that could potentially release some hostages (a group that may or may not include Americans).

Recently, it was leaked that American officials have finally privately acknowledged that the hostage trade is a fantasy. There is no longer any excuse for not using our nation’s fire and anger against terrorist groups that continue to harass and humiliate our people.
Our leaders have become victims of an unprecedented form of fatalism. They have made us believe that America is powerless. it’s not. After this year’s defeat, we also cannot lose our will to honor the language printed on every American passport that instructs the world to allow Americans “passage without delay or hindrance.” .
