The Biden regime’s unfeeling and callous attitude towards American citizens abroad has left too many stranded and without assistance in a time of crisis. One such situation facing many of those living in Israel recently has been the demand of an exorbitant promissory note as a precondition for an evacuation from the region by the U.S. government.
The unconscionable email sent to American citizens stuck in Israel stated that assistance from the government would be “provided via a loan from the U.S. government, which requires travelers to sign a promissory note (an agreement to repay) prior to departure.” Furthermore, the email continued, stating that upon receiving the loan with the accompanying promissory note, travelers would be responsible for making travel arrangements to a nearby safe location, and paying for onward travel to their chosen destination in the United States.
Funny, I don’t remember reading about promissory notes signed by the millions of illegals he’s allowed into the country. Kinda strange how that works.

In these desperate times, Yitz Friedman, a communications manager at the American Accountability Foundation, and his wife swiftly realized that US airlines had suspended flights to Israel, leaving them stranded in what was declared a warzone. When they reached out to the embassy for help, Friedman recounts being told to “pound sand.”
My wife and I have finally gotten ourselves on the way home to the US from Israel after days of fear and tremendous anxiety. Our original flight was canceled.
While Poland, Hungary, Brazil, Romania, and other countries sent planes to bring their citizens home from the war zone,…

It is a stark contrast to what former President Donald Trump had done while he was in office, when he spearheaded the historic Abraham Accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. This enabled many Americans, who would have otherwise been left stranded, to fly to a “friendly Arab country when even American flights won’t dare, at a time of war.”
I would like to thank President Trump.
After days of fear and anxiety in Israel, I am finally on my way home to the US.
Almost every airline canceled all flights, including our flight home. We we're sure what to do.
Luckily, one if the few airlines still running flights is…

It is not the first time that the Biden administration has wrongfully abandoned its citizens. His frosty disposition and impersonal behavior is a common dark pattern that appears to be ubiquitous with Biden’s approach towards foreign policy. The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee reported that earlier this year, up to 9,000 Americans were left in Afghanistan to fend for themselves against the Taliban.
How your leadership handles a crisis is everything. Biden is a huge failure on all fronts.
