National Policy Under Biden

It's not really a policy decision but in its absence, it is. 

The US hasn't yet sent planes to evacuate its citizens trapped in Israel. Not its poor, doomed kidnapped citizens, that's a story for another day. 

This is about Americans who are inside Israel and who desperately want to come home. Their lives are in danger. They can't get out because no airline will fly to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. 

TWENTY other countries have already sent in rescue planes to evacuate their citizens. Twenty. Including nations that we might consider "lesser" nations than mighty America. 

Nigeria, for instance. But not the USA. Oh, no. If you're an American citizen trapped in a cellar in Jerusalem, hunker down, boy. "We stand with Israel" doesn't mean we care about you.

This is a perfect opportunity for a presidential candidate to show that "our thoughts and prayers" are not enough. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. 

For those few of you old enough to remember, billionaire H. Ross Perot flew a Boeing 707 full of badly needed supplies to North Vietnam in the middle of a war just to help our POWs. To help them. I'll never forget that gesture of compassion, paid for out of his own pocket.

So Trump, out of your own pocket. DeSantis, on behalf of the State of Florida. Or any American billionaire anywhere. The time has come for you to share your riches. I'm talking to you, Jeff Bezos, and you, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett, Larry Page, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. You each have more than one hundred billion dollars! That's $100,000,000,000 for those of you who don't know how many zeroes it is. 

Okay, ride into space, that's fine and fun. But do something merciful here on earth, too. Help some stranded Americans get home alive. It's not too much to ask. It's one small gesture. 

Charter a plane or two, stock them up, send them over, bring our brothers and sisters home. Our government isn't doing doing it yet, but the need is immediate and critical. You won't even miss the couple hunded thousand dollars it will cost you.
