Six young hostages, including one American, were found by the IDF in Rafah, brutally murdered overnight by Hamas. They were recovered from a tunnel. The IDF was very close to saving them.
Each of the hostages was shot in the back of the head, and it’s believed that they were shot in the last few days.
Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov, and Ori Danino were their names, and Goldberg-Polin was the American.
Jerusalem Post:
The IDF retrieved the bodies of the hostages from a tunnel under the city of Rafah in Gaza.
They were likely slaughtered by Hamas shortly before the IDF got to them in Rafah.
The bodies were found only one kilometer from where Kaid Farhan al-Alkadi, age 52, from Rahat, was found last week.
Since Alkadi was found, the IDF put out instructions to be extra careful in the area, but it is possible that Hamas killed the six, knowing that the military was close by and that the hostages might be taken by the IDF alive.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum blames Netanyahu for their deaths.
While I don’t want the US dragged into that war, I do think the Biden-Harris administration micromanaged the war against Hamas stupidly.
Bill Ackman wrote on X:
Consider that Hamas chose to execute an American hostage with a bullet to the back of his head during the last two or three days (along with five other hostages) whose parents just spoke at the DNC less than two weeks ago, while hostage negotiations were underway.
Consider that the U.S. strategy over the last 330 days has been to pressure Israel to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, including through the withholding of weapons from @Israel and by periodically leaking our failure to support our ally to the media in the midst of hostage negotiations.
Consider what pressure if any the U.S. has brought to bear on Hamas and our friends in the region who harbor Hamas’ leadership?
Why? Why has our leadership adopted this failed strategy?
Because @POTUS Biden (who has been on vacation for 16 days) and @KamalaHarris, who also just skipped a ceremony at Arlington Cemetery to honor 13 fallen soldiers from the failed Afghanistan withdrawal, along with their advisers in the DNC, believe they will lose important votes in certain key swing states and from Hamas supporters on campuses.
Biden spent today — his 16th straight day on vacation — lounging on the beach.
He has spent a total of 532 days (40.3% of his presidency) on vacation.

It has been proven time and time again that the only thing that terrorists understand is brute force. Rather than pressure Israel, the United States should have put more pressure on our other allies in the region to help, and done everything we can to help Israel defeat Hamas and recover the hostages, but unfortunately this was not good politics for Biden/Harris and some of their supporters.
By being weak and lacking resolve, we failed our captured, now dead citizens, and the other hostages and their families while emboldening terrorists around the world.
The result:
It has become much less safe to be an American since October 7th because of our failed leadership.
It has become much less safe to be a member of the free world since October 7th because of our failed leadership.
We are in desperate need for a change in leadership so our enemies once again fear the United States and think twice before they act against us and/or our allies. The time has come.
Like I said, I don’t want the US involved in this war, but they took US hostages, and Biden-Harris barely mentions them. The response is very weak. They did and said nothing that would have gotten them back. There should have been an outcry from this administration. Instead, Biden-Harris gave them over a hundred million dollars and gave their sugar Daddy, Iran, access to billions of dollars. The US kowtowed and forced Netanyahu to drag out the war for political expediency.
No one but Hamas is to blame for their deaths, but the US foreign policy gave Hamas a lot of latitude. Every time Biden-Harris trashed Netanyahu, they empowered Hamas, and they did it because Bibi wasn’t far left enough for them, and they want the ever-growing Islamic vote.
So what does Harris have to say? She’s praying, and she has many religions depending on the holiday, beginning with Kwanza, so that’ll work.
On October 7, Hersh Goldberg-Polin — an American citizen — was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. He was just 23 years old, attending a music festival with friends. We now know he was murdered by Hamas.

Do people here realize that there are no more radicalized, violent people in the Middle East than so-called Palestinians? They are raised to be terrorists from preschool. Many civilians participated on Oct 7 or rejoiced when they saw the people dragged through the city.
It’s why they were kicked out of several Arab countries.
People Rejoice when their Oppressors get Hit. Loads of Americans rejoiced on 9/11. Really, it is Constitutionally Allowable Freedom Fries! We do not all Worship our Oppressors! And, if you serve it, then you better think about who you serve; because it is not of God. If Palestinians are all Terrorists, then you should all be thanking, GOD, for such… Read more »
First, there are no such people as Palestinians. Many of those Arabs Do get along with Jews in Israel. All the terrorists can be traced back to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hassan al-Banna. Because the Ottoman Empire fell it was decided the reason being was contemporary Islam and therefore a return to the medieval times was needed. The Gaza envelope… Read more »
Palestinians are Arabs. Arabs root to the Biblical Ischmael Older Brother of Israel. Did you know in Jewish Law the First Born gets 2/3 of the Inheritance? Now, whats that Say about the Land. Remember, God, Did not Kill Ischmael and Hagar. He Saved them. Killing them would be a Very Bad Idea. Have you seen any pictures of GAZA?… Read more »
Arabs aren’t indigenous to the land of Israel. The few Arabs that came to Israel did so for migrant labor. It was Britain, post Ottoman, that brought hordes of Arabs to the Jewish State in order to overrun the Jewish population.
By the way, the majority of Arab countries want nothing to do with the “Palestinians”.
You think that way; becaue the US has paid Arabs to betray their brothers. The old 30 pieces of silver trick. This will only work for a Short Time. The truth is that the British HI-JACKED Hitler s Agreement with the King of Palestine to relocate Jews after the war; because Britain and America did not want the Jews. The… Read more »
The Muslims, mainly the Mufti of Jerusalem, were aligned with Hitler.
Yes, and if you do your homework, then you`ll find that, Hitler, had an Agreement with the Mufti to relocate Jews to Palestine. Britain Hi-jacked this Agreement when the War Ended against the wishes of the Palestinians -who agreed with Hitler- not Britain. So, Britain decided to get hostile with the Locals and this Causesd the Mess Israel is in… Read more »
Do you just make it up as you go along. The Mufti wanted the annihilation of Jews, and that was what he brought to Hitler. He wanted Germany to invade Israel and kill Jews there. The Wannsee Conference was the “legal justification” of the Final Solution. Britain wanted to appease the Arabs, mainly because of the Oil. They severely restricted… Read more »
The Mufti did whatever Hitler wanted; because He Feared and Idolized Hitler. At the Time Hitler was Winning the War and the Mufti would do anything to keep Hitler out of Arabia/Palestine! So.. He allowed Hitler to Relocate Jews to Palestine! Britain was not Feared; because Hitler Defeated them. So , Hitler had advantage and this is why the Mufti… Read more »
Israel and the US must be held accountable for uncountable crimes-against-humanity in Gaza and the West Bank. There can be NO sovereign immunity for this level of organized crime.
In fact, Israel needs to be disbanded because they are far too rogue to be allowed to continue on planet earth.
So says Haman. Hate to break it to you but there are NO crimes against humanity. I doubt you do much reading.
Apparently I read far more than you.
Spreading around money and favors does not make Israel immune for their crimes. It simply means it will take longer to bring this filth to justice. And justice we *will* have.
Ever since Amalek people like You have ‘hoped’ and tried, to no avail. The only thing you read is communist propaganda.
What about the 40,000 (actually way higher) murdered by Israel? And, Israel has been abusing Palestinians for Decades. Palestinians are second class citizens in their own land and Israel has been known to Jail and Murder them at will and for Nothing. Bull Dozing theiir Homes is Common. So, was it wrong for Hamas to HIT BACK? Are you all… Read more »
We don’t see too many terrorist sympathizers. If we calculate the exaggeration factor from Hamas the actual death total would be less than 1000. Palestinian was a Soviet invention for the local Arabs. There was never a “Palestine”. Given all the occupiers of Israel not one nation considered it “Palestine”. There’s no history of a “Palestinian culture”, “government” or anything… Read more »
We do not need any factors! ONE PICTURE IS ENOUGH TO SHOW TOTAL EXTERMINATION OF THE POPULATION or are Y`all a Bunch of GD TOOTHLESS RETARDS?

Start a war and expect repercussions. “One Picture?”. What are you, and idiot. Israel has done More to spare the general population than any other nation in all of history. The Arabs of Gaza perpetrated about 9 or more times what NYC suffered on 9-11. By rights Gaza should have been obliterated. More than 10 battalions invaded Israel and have… Read more »
Palestinians are so DIRT POOR that they can “do nothing” and they DID NOTHING! Israel has been slaving/abusing them for Decades: Jailing them, Beating them, Bulldozing and Murdering them! I would expect Hamas to Hit Back! Jesus Christ … I would have expected them to do a Lot more! I saw it all on Oct 7… A Glorified Drive-by whereupon… Read more »
I guess you didn’t see the luxury villas and shopping malls in Gaza. You really have a perverted sense of reality claiming IDF shot their own. Your view of “eye for an eye” is NOT Jewish law. That pasuk is speaking of monetary compensation. Well, Hamas shouldn’t be holding up in hospitals, mosques and other civilian structures. It makes those… Read more »
I saw it all, including, IDF helicopter gunship footage showing the IDF pilot crying out over the radio that he could not distinguish targets! Thats some very heavy Firepower and if you cannot Distinguish targets you do not Shoot! So, it is obvious: Hannible Directive.

They did fire and they came back to base with empty guns. How do you think those cars were melted and houses obliterated?

You’re certainly no “Expert” in truth. You start a war, so expect the consequences.
I would have advised Israel to hit back on october 7, ( proportionally) then go silent, and wait; because it would have been easier to get Hamas when they were not expecting it. Focus should have been on getting hostages back, First. Then Wait … Gather Intelligence, then Attatck when all your Targets are in One Place! You would only… Read more »
You’re good at Monday morning quarterbacking. Israel hasn’t been allowed to “win” a war in the past but this time Netanyahu isn’t backing down.
There were only 1200 Killed on 10/7, and lots of them were killed by the IDF hannible directives. You better Pray and Repent of yourself ; because the Arabs could make a 9/11 that would bring down the entire western world and all they need are the Sam Portables you Idiots Gave them! DO THE MATH! So , you better… Read more »
Hamas Arabs put out videos of themselves committing all the atrocities. You’ll believe anything. There are a good many Arabs who live in Israel proper and they openly admit preferring living as Israeli rather than under the PA.
Because “Israel” turned the PA into a Dump! Israel turns their Power off and I could not believe the Palestinians allowed it to happen! So … I would have expected a FULL BLOWN Revolution not this Chicken CRAP GANG BANGER Style Drive-by! And, Israel looks like Crap for Overreacting. This will Cost them. And, I am not against Israel, really,… Read more »
The so-called Palestinians don’t want Peace. Arafat proved that. It will take generations to remove the hatred. You can’t expect them to change when indoctrinated from kindergarten to use SWAT tactics to abduct and kill Israelis.

The only land deal Now is to annex Judea and Samaria and return to Gaza.THAT is what they understand. The biggest mistake was Begin giving up the Sinai, for a piece of paper.
I’ve read there are four types of Jews, direct descendants of Abraham which is considered the chosen people, Jews that are NOT direct descendants of Abraham, Messianic Jews and those that have switched to the Jewish faith. That’s not me saying that, it’s from books and articles I’ve read. Many Jews support Communism and the Democrat Party. I met one… Read more »
“Not a damn thing if you don’t use it” Smile!
Responses by Biden / Harris were, at the least, lame, if not disgusting. “Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. And we will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages.” What exactly will Hamas pay for their crimes, negotiations that will keep Hamas alive and in power. What is it with… Read more »
Israel is a tool of the Rothschild Bankster & England’s Royal Class. As such tool Israel is doing to Palestinians what England’s Royal Class & Rothchild’s banker clan did to the American Indian. For the benefit of the big boss’s in England.
“The Thirteenth Tribe” by Arthur Koestler.
Nothing like another Jew-hating Anti-Semitic bigot posting again. A great deal of these libels came from the Soviet Communists, who were also behind Arafat, an Egyptian, in claiming to be “Palestinian” in 1964. Before that time any Arab would view the Palestinian label as an insult worthy of death.
Do you also believe the Rothschilds are worth 500 Trillion.
No, that was before the Inflation Reduction Act. They’re actually worth 700 Trillion, now. Thankfully, the murdered American’s parents recently spoke at the DNC? We can count on the deceased to vote Democrat for the next thirty years. This is why the exceptional Biden/Harris “team” didn’t work harder to save him. They knew they already had his vote so it… Read more »
