Jon and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, the parents of an American citizen who was taken hostage by Hamas during the attack on the Nova Music Festival, were met with chants of 'bring them home,' and said the release of those being held in Gaza 'not a political issue.
The parents of American Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin made an emotional plea for their son's return on Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention. Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg described Hersh seeking safety in a tiny bomb shelter when the attack began at the Tribe of Nova music festival, before his left forearm was blown off by a grenade and he was taken to Gaza. “Since then, we live on another planet,” said Goldberg.
The pair has been the only hostage family to address the convention. Families of Palestinian victims of the Israel-Hamas war have not yet been given speaking slots, though the war has been mentioned in passing by other speakers. It is unclear if the convention will hear from additional families connected to the war. Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have converged in Chicago to protest Israel and the war.
