Hamas murders American citizen




Jill and I are devastated to learn that Judy Weinstein, an American citizen, is believed to have been killed by Hamas on October 7. This cuts deep following the news that Gad Haggai, Judy's husband, is also believed to have been killed by Hamas.

Earlier this month I spoke with their daughter and will never forget the words she shared with me.

I reaffirm the pledge we have made to all the families of those still held hostage: we will not stop working to bring them home.

2. I'm afraid that more bodies of hostages will

be found that were murdered long before the Israelis began their offensive.

Such incredible pain for the families that hold out hope for their loved ones only to find that the murderous Hamas terrorists are lying about them being alive.

There can not be any ceasefire unless there is proof the remaining hostages are alive.

Biden knows this and will do what he can for their daughter and others like her.

Thank you President Biden.

13. I wish the protestors and the UN would start demanding a release of all hostages.

The protestors continue to go after President Biden, Hakeem Jeffries, Ritchie Torres, Israel and Jews and the UN's anti-Israel bias is crystal clear at this point.

And neither care about the hostages.

Little to no mention of hostages and little to no mention of Hamas' culpability. It's all 'but Israel.'

20. There probably are Americans among those killed in Gaza

Thanks for the reminder. Hamas bears responsibility for that too. They need to release the hostages, put down their weapons, turn all their stockpiled fuel, water, and food over to the Palestinian people, and turn themselves in for war crimes trials.
