The daughter of an American who was kidnapped and held by the despotic Iranian regime for the last four years savaged the Biden-Harris administration and the German government when they criticized Israel for not doing enough to gain freedom for the hostages held by Hamas.

Jimmy Sharmahd, an independent journalist, was born in Iran but migrated to Germany after the Islamic Regime took over in 1979. In 2003 he and his family moved to the United States and settled in California. He created websites that offered news and support to Iranian dissidents. In 2009, Iranian agents tried to assassinate him. In 2020, on a business trip overseas to Dubai, he was kidnapped by Iranian agents. “In January 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Council reported that Mr. Sharmahd was one of several ‘foreign and dual nationals who remain imprisoned under inhumane conditions, including limitations on contact with their families,’” Global Liberty Alliance noted.

Gazelle Sharmahd spoke out on X, saying, “Everybody is a freaking expert on how to get hostages out and everybody this week is pointing fingers at Israel, saying, ‘You haven’t done enough. This is not how it’s being done. Let me tell you how it’s being done,’ including two of our world leaders, Germany and the U.S.”

“So let’s look at what they’re saying and what they have done to get their hostages out,” she stated. “Our world leader, our President Biden, was chilling at the beach this week while his VP was using the hostage family, the American hostage family, for her campaign trail on the DNC. And after Hamas executed him [Hersh Goldberg-Polin], she made a phone call and was very sorry about that. But let’s look back at how the Biden-Harris administration has handled other American hostages; one, specifically: my dad, Jimmy Sharmahd, is an American and a German, and he’s been kidnapped, taken to Iran, held hostage there for four years, the entire time of this administration, and they haven’t done anything to bring him home.”

“Neither President Biden nor his VP Harris have even talked to us or even mentioned my dad’s name, [let] alone done something for him,” she noted. “And last year, around this time, in September, me and my brother were in a sit-in strike with other hostage families in front of the state Department, asking, ‘What is being done to bring our family, our parents, back home?’”

“Well, this is what happened,” she recalled. “While we were sweating in the heat, they, Biden and Harris, made a deal with the Islamic regime in Iran. Yeah, the same Islamic regime that is funding Hamas and is responsible for the terror attack plus is responsible for the 240 hostages that were taken to Gaza. And what did they do? They transferred $6 billion to a bank in Qatar, the same Qatar that is housing the terrorist that is protecting their money. So the terrorists got $6 billion, and what did we get? A spit in the face.”

“My dad together with other Americans were left behind to die. My dad has an execution sentence. He can be executed, just like Hersh. And you left him behind?” she charged. “So bravo. Fantastic track record. If you know better how to get Americans out of the hands of terrorists, and not executed, tell us your plan. Tell us how it’s done. And then tell us why you failed to do that for your own American hostages in Iran.

“Yesterday, our Foreign Minister from Germany came out and told Israel, ‘You should negotiate. You should make a deal with Hamas because it’s worth the life of hostages,’” she pointed out. “So what are you exactly telling us here? Because Israel should negotiate for their hostages because their life is worth something? What about the life of your citizens? If it’s worth negotiating for hostages, can you explain to us why for four years you haven’t negotiated to save the life of my dad, of the other German hostages in Iran, of the other German hostages in Cuba, and other places of the world? Are we not worth anything? Is that what you’re telling us? Your citizen’s life is worth nothing?”

“So again, our question is what have you done to save your citizens from terrorists that want to execute them,” she continued. “What have you done? Financial pressure? Economic pressure? Have you threatened to break off trade relations? Have you closed your embassy in Iran? Have you kicked them out of the embassy in Germany? What exactly have you done to get your citizens back safe home? If you have a plan, let us know why you haven’t done it in four years for your own citizens.”

“So before pointing fingers left and right and telling Israel what to do, demonstrate to us how you have saved your hostages from the hands of terrorists that want to execute them,” she said bluntly. “And if you did that, explain to me why you haven’t done it for my dad. Why is my Dad this Sunday 1,500 days and nights alone in a torture chamber, in a tunnel? We don’t know even where he is in Iran. And you haven’t even tried to get him back out.”

“I haven’t seen anybody who has tried more than Israel has tried now,” she declared, then, turning to the Biden-Harris administration and the German government, concluded, “I would love to see what they have to say about my dad, if they even dare to mention my dad’s name. he exists, and so do we. And we will not be silenced.”

EVERYONE is suddenly an expert on how to get #hostages out of the hands of terrorist.

The US and Germany have abandoned their hostage #JimmySharmahd for 4 years in the hands of the Terrorists in Iran.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said during an interview that aired over the weekend that if communist China invades Taiwan the impact on the global economy will be ten times larger than the impact from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Haley made the remarks during an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” with Margaret Brennan while talking about the threat China poses to the world.

She discussed a recent trip she took to Taiwan where she learned about how they are preparing militarily for a potential war with China, including by reducing investment in China, extending the length of required military service for 18-year-olds, and training with the U.S.

“When it comes to our allies, when it comes to freedom-loving countries, we need to be the best friend to them that we can, because, if China takes Taiwan, what we saw with Russia and Ukraine, it affected 1 percent of GDP, and you saw the economy shake from that,” she said. “If China takes Taiwan, it would be 10 percent of the global GDP. That’s $10 trillion, compared to the $1 trillion in Ukraine. We need to care about that. We need to care about it from freedom. We need to care about it from the economy. We need to care about it from security.”

She said that Americans should not assume that everything will be “OK” if the U.S. goes into isolationist mode and ignores Russian and Chinese aggression.

“What Taiwan is asking for is joint military training and to partner with us so that they can make weapons to defend themselves, and they want intelligence-sharing,” she said. “The best way to prevent war from China is to start arming Taiwan now and making sure that they’re ready.”
