Is this the height of US Intelligence collection? “I’m just going this wildly speculate about the intentions of a foreign group because it benefits the social capital of my allies.” Why even report this nonsense? Have women and children suffered while in captivity with Hamas, yes. Have women and children also suffered in captivity in Israel, yes. Do women and children daily suffer injustice due to economic and social inequities on the US, a resounding yes! Does the US treat foreign refugees as poorly as Hamas or Israel, possibly even worse. That’s my hot take, I don’t think it took that much “intelligence” to figure out.

I’m upset Axios would even publish this propaganda piece while also openly stating that there is no evidence to back it up. Shame on them.
