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.

When will biographies be posted of the children being murdered in the west bank or Gaza?

Do their lifes somehow matter less?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I was wondering too.

Oh, these killed by the Israeli air strikes? Along tens of thousands of Palestinians?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (40 children)

No, the hostages were murdered by Hamas. They were not killed by Israeli air strikes.

Are you really taking the word of Hamas, who kidnapped the people to begin with? The air raids killed the hostages in an underground tunnel? Yeah, okay.

If Hamas was concerned about the lives of the hostages they could have released them. Propaganda at best.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

Are you really taking the word of a convicted apartheid state that runs a minimum of one torture camp that intentionally bombs civilians?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I’m having a difficult time believing that Israel jets killed hostages located in an underground tunnel.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Why?

You don't believe all the released hostages who said the thing that scared them most was the Israeli bombing?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then you're as much an idiot as the rest of the morons who take Netanyahu's word. You can tell me what you think a 2000Lbs bomb would do to a hand-dug tunnel a few meters below the surface.

Especially one reliant on manual ventilation since there's little to no electrical power (hmm who did that I wonder?).

Even if Hamas killed them in cold blood, which is a stupid negotiating tactic by the way, they have infinitely more reasons for doing so considering the reality of most of the prison guards having their entire family lines wiped out by targeted attacks on civilians over 10 months.

Yes, when tons of explosives are dropped on Gaza, I take the word of Hamas that explosives killed hostages. Especially when other hostages were returned. Hamas gains nothing from their deaths.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

You are suggesting that Hamas hasn’t murdered any of the hostages. Are you being serious?

Not interested in this framing when 53 Gazans were killed the same day, and liberals are only interested in the ones Israeli ones.
