  • The parents of an Israeli-American man held captive by Hamas for 201 days have released an emotional video appealing for his release.
    Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, was kidnapped at the Nova musical festival when Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October, last year.
    Yesterday (24 April), Hamas released a video of Mr Goldberg-Polin, with half of his arm missing.
    In a video released today, Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin pleaded for his release and also called for world leaders to intervene.
    "We love you, stay strong, survive", they told their son at the end of the video message.

      SimolyThebes,, no doubt if you saw a video of your child in captivity, with his left hand missing, you too would be full of tender concern for the political aims of his captors.
      No?
      No, I didn’t think so either.

    Listening to these tormented parents of this young man, I can't help feel very sorry for them,
    but I feel many times more pain for the 10's of thousand of people, in their own country who have lost, so many and so much more! What was he doing there?, maybe just enjoying the fruits of occupation, while the innocent people of Palestine were living under a miserable military occupation. Very sad for everyone.

    The solution is really so simple. Stop everything, let everyone go to their respective homes and lives, free all kidnapped on both sides and let everyone live in peace..... It is really so simple. Why allow one particular selfish man + few more maniaks, to sacrifice the lives of innocents on both sides.
