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.

    Propaganda is you believing that Israel wouldn’t start an extermination campaign the very day after Hamas agreed to any internationally-agreed peace deal that didn’t explicitly demand the IOF pulling out of Gaza.

    Israel could’ve had these people back alive if they agreed to the July 2nd peace plan as the US and Hamas had supported, yet Netanyahu wants indefinite control of the Gaza strip and total extermination of the Palestinian people; The hostages are just a good excuse to keep useful idiots like you in line.

      lol are you just going through my post history and commenting on everything?

      I’m not disagreeing that Netanyahu has ulterior motives. He’s going to do what he wants since there are still hostages.

      Hamas is giving him every excuse to do so.

        Turns out if you make multiple replies to a post replying to someone about why genocide is the fault of the victims and not the internationally-back apartheid state targeting civilians, you’re gonna have someone like me calling out your bullshit on multiple posts. who knew?

          You’re putting words in my mouth. I’m sorry that you are not able to understand the conversation.
