A young American-Israeli attending a rave that was disrupted by Hamas terrorists on Saturday texted his parents “I love you” and “I’m sorry,” before becoming unreachable — as horrifying videos of attackers paragliding into the party and kidnapping attendees emerge.
Hersh Golberg-Polin, who just turned 23 this week, was celebrating in the desert in northern Negev when Hamas militants invaded the party and began attacking attendees, his father told The Jerusalem Post.
After texting his parents, “I love you” and “I’m sorry,” Golberg-Polin became unreachable.
“We just want him home and safe,” his father, Jonathon Polin told the outlet, adding that if he could tell his son anything, he would say: “We love you. Come home to us.”
The 23-year-old had also been celebrating his release from his Army service, which he finished at the end of April.
During his service, Golberg-Polin drove tanks in the 7th Armored Brigade and later trained to become a medic, his father said, adding that his son thought it was “more interesting than driving a trank.”

I don’t blame them. I pity them and am grieved by what happened, but I cannot ignore the irony of the foolish crap promoted in the West.
I was young once too.
There will never be “peace” in Israel. It’s right there in the Bible for any who will read it.
I was naive also, but I never partied for peace just outside a terrorist area!
when you invite in the wolf, you shouldn’t be surprised when it bites you or someone you love.
Yeah, there is that part. Maybe if it were Tel Aviv, that's one thing, but right on the border with Gaza?
And “parents in the West continue to pay large sums of money to” universities that indoctrinate people to be slaves to left-wing-nut tyranny.
Socialism and HAMAS “are in nature together” until HAMAS actually shows up.
As a generalization, true, of course.
There's also nothing wrong with walking down a street in Brooklyn - as a generalization.
To go to an "all night rave trance" 8 miles from Gaza city and barely a mile from a fortified and hostile border is similar to a stroll down Malcom X Boulevard at 4AM.
Nothing wrong in principle - in practice, crazy dangerous.
And, if the music was loud, outdoors, and typical of all night raves, it was also undoubtedly a thumb in the eye to any observant Muslims who reside barely a mile away.
Kinda like all those US “citizens” the military evacuated out of Afghanistan?
Biden and all of the Democrat Party have put the US in a very weakened position.
1. The US is no longer energy independent and must go to the international marker to buy its physical contacts (barrels of oil). If there is another oil embargo, Americans are SOL.
2. The Strategic Reserve is close to empty.
3. Biden knowingly gave billions of dollars to Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah. How many weapons were purchased with those dollars and from where (Afghanistan, Ukraine)?
4. How many terrorists have crossed the southern border. This attack on Israel was longtime in planning. Expect the worst. Is the FBI up to the task or are they too busy looking for MAGA Extremists?
“A young American-Israeli”
I have no use for these hyphenated and/or dual-citizen fence sitters. Pick one. BE one, and only one.
There are some great hostage rescues happening though.
Just for good news.
Did the Pentagon cede authority to the DOJ, or is Garland having an Al Haig moment?
The dual citizenship info was very informative. Thanks.
I agree the rave/nudist folks like many were very naive.
Anyone not subservient to allah is a thumb in the eye for merely existing. (even some believers are a thumb in the eye to other believers)
Since 1972, the Christian population in the me absent Israel is down 95%.
I’m still awaiting seeing my first my muslim condemnation of the attacks.
Is the F BI on America’s side?
Really? I honestly can't tell if you are serious.
From the article i'm pretty sure he was in the IDF.
At Pulse nightclub, the guy was yelling the muslim war chant-
the fbi hid that for an entire year allowing team fake narrative to push some homophobic lover’s quarrel was to blame.
the fbi still classifies the FT Hood attack as workplace violence.
Of course while doing this they’re touting white Christian nationalists as the biggest threats/terrorists.
To heck with them and if any of those w the badge are peeking-you’re a shameful disgrace.
“..Not US Army, dual citizenship....”
The USA does not acknowledge dual citizenship.
Never mind. I know not of what I speake of.
“I was in a public university in NY in 1972, and there were more US citizen IDF officers than US Army, Navy, or Marines.”
Was there a benefit to becoming and IDF officer or did IDF officer simply come to the NY university?
I just heard they’ve found about 260 bodies at the concert site. :(
The US also does not prohibit dual citizenship. Many developed countries do not prohibit dual citizenship. Very much a mistake all around.
