Family confirms death of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin
The family of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin says he has been killed in the Gaza Strip.
The family of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin announced the young man’s death early Sunday, ending a relentless campaign by his parents to rescue him that included meetings with world leaders and an address to the Democratic convention last month.
Goldberg-Polin, 23, was seized by militants at a music festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7. The native of Berkeley, California, lost part of his left arm to a grenade in the attack. In April, a Hamas-issued video showed him, his left hand missing and clearly speaking under duress, sparking new protests in Israel urging the government to do more to secure his and others’ freedom.

Hamas kidnapped Hersh Goldberg-Polin, among other non-combatants, on the 7th of October. As captors, Hamas were at a minimum responsible for keeping the hostages alive. Hamas could have chosen to release the non-combatants at any point but choose not to.
This not about Israel being or not being assholes. This is about Hamas not even taking a minimum of responsibility for what they have caused.
Hamas does not care about the Palestinian people. Hamas only cares about their cause.
