Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23. Originally from California, Goldberg-Polin immigrated to Israel with his family as a young child. He was taken at gunpoint by Hamas militants while at the Nova music festival.
In August his parents spoke at the Democratic party convention, where they were greeted by a crowd that chanted: “Bring them home.”
Eden Yerushalmi was in contact with the police and with her sisters after the attack. ‘They’ve caught me,’ were her last words to them.
Carmel Gat had been staying with her parents in kibbutz Be’eri on 7 October, one of the communities hardest hit by the attack. Hamas fighters broke into their home and kidnapped her; her mother was killed in the attack.
Alexander Lobanov’s five-month-old son was born while he was in captivity.
Almog Sarusi was taken hostage as his girlfriend, who was shot, succumbed to her injuries.
Ori Danino had been helping others try to escape when he was abducted.
You are right. Perhaps it is wise to believe the words of the kidnappers and not the people trying to rescue them. Perhaps it is not.
I’m referring to the previous poster going on about unrelated accusations that have nothing to do with the story.
And yet you. take. the. word. of. a. country. systematically. raping. civilians.
Don’t pretend you’re interested in the truth. You’re interested in seeing more dead, raped, and starving kids to fulfill you racial prejudices. Go fuck yourself.
Oh god people who write sentences. like. this. Need to be taken out behind the barn.
Very colorful language but nothing to back it up. Please don’t assume you know me or what I want. You’re only making yourself look like a whiny child.
You think you’re coming off better?
What’s that supposed to mean? Are you upset that I disagree with you?
I wouldn’t characterize either party as being particularly free from bias. It’s a shame that ground-level reporters have such a frequent tendency to die.
