These Palestinian Americans had the same opportunity for evacuation as Israeli Americans. All they had to do was was present themselves at either the US Embassy or consulate in ....(checks notes).... Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.

Exactly, they just needed to approach IDF soldiers and ask for directions to Israel. They’d be more than happy to help and wouldn’t shoot at all!
