Hamas publishes propaganda video with signs of life from hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin [View all]

The Hamas terror group has published a new propaganda video showing signs of life from 23-year-old Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

In the nearly three-minute-long video, Goldberg-Polin, who is seen missing one of his hands, identifies himself and asks the Israeli government to return them home.

The video is not dated, but Goldberg-Polin says he has been held captive for “nearly 200 days,” indicating it was filmed recently.

Goldberg-Polin was abducted from the Supernova rave near Re’im on the morning of October 7.

The Times of Israel, for reasons known only to them, chose to crop the still photo from the video thus editing out a clear view of his traumatically amputated lower arm. The world needs to see what he has suffered and endured after terrorist threw hand grenades at people trying to escape the attack on October 7th.

on edit: The Goldberg-Polin family has given permission for the publication of the hostage video. You can now watch it on the website for Times of Israel.

Isn't the fact that he's American enough of a fucking pretext to send a Delta Team in to rescue and clear out Hamas? SoFlaBro Saturday #22

I would hope so... the US is sending Cha Saturday #24

Perhaps fucking shitty Hamas needs a new sort of motivation that only an American special forces unit can provide. SoFlaBro Saturday #25
