Heartbroken by the murder of 6 hostages including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American citizen brutally kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. May his memory be a blessing. Every hostage must be released. Bring them all home.

I am heartbroken to learn that Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Ori Danino, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov, & Eden Yerushalmi were murdered by Hamas. Since October 7 I have met with the families of Hersh & Carmel, learning their stories & working tirelessly to bring them home.

The @QJCC joins with Jews across the globe and all people of good will in mourning the cold-blooded murders of Hersh, Ori, Eden, Carmel, Alexander, and Almog at the hands of #Hamas. May their memories be for a blessing and may those who mourn them be comforted. JCRC of New York UJA-Federation of New York

Iran’s autocratic regime isn’t just focused on our ballot boxes. Schools and universities are their targets as well. “…Using social media platforms popular in the U.S., groups linked to Tehran have posed as online activists, encouraged protests and have provided financial

.Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield at UNSC meeting: “These latest murders confirm that Hamas is a terrorist organization. “I know some members of this council won't acknowledge that, but that's the simple truth. “No member of this council would tolerate their citizens being taken hostage & murdered.”
