Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli American taken hostage in the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks, is among six hostages whose bodies were recovered Saturday.

"With broken hearts, the Goldberg-Polin family is devastated to announce the death of their beloved son and brother, Hersh. The family thanks you all for your love and support and asks for privacy at this time," a family representative said.

President Joe Biden said the bodies of Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages held by Hamas were recovered in a tunnel under Rafah.

All Israel's fault. Remember, these hostages are zionists and, according to the pro-Hamas protestors, all zionists must die.

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

I'm sure I will hear crickets from this from the mainstream media. After all, doesn't fit the narrative about how peace loving Hamas is and how Israel is a genocidal rogue nation that targets civilians.

This shows limitation to the Gaza protesters outcry. Unless they are willing to criticize Hamas, Gaza protesters cannot be allowed to ruin the country with these protests.

... Not long before the rescue, their bodies mutilated and nearly unrecognizable.
