Hamas released a video featuring an American hostage they are holding. Hersh Goldberg-Polin reads a script that blames Israel for the events of October 7th, and all that has happened since.
GolbergPolin was captured at the Nova Music Festival where Hamas attacked and killed hundreds of people. In the video, he is missing an arm. He was injured that day by terrorists who threw grenades at a shelter where he was.
Hamas terrorists released a propaganda video featuring Hersh G. Goldberg-Polin. An American hostage has been held in Gaza now for over 200 days.

Goldberg-Polin is a victim of the lowest kind of humanity. I haven’t checked, but I would assume that the pro-Hamas social media accounts are using this image and claiming it is an authentic representation.
All of this was not unexpected, given the events that have occurred in the United States during the past week. Hamas is emboldened by the support they perceive from the extreme left. While American politicians defend the violence against Jews, college campuses have been overtaken and violent protests on campus. Hamas is pressing all buttons to stop Israel from taking Rafah. It knows this will be its only way to survive.
This video will only make Israel fight harder. Hamas’ control over the situation is not acceptable. The Hamas has rejected all ceasefire proposals and will continue to hold hostages as they do not intend to release them. It’s hard to accept, but there is only one way to end this: by taking Rafah and ending Hamas.
