Rachel Goldberg, \u200dwhose son \u2062Hersh Goldberg-Polin is believed to\u2062 be among the 240\u200b hostages captured \u2063by Hamas, revealed that a U.S. government official asked her\u2063 how often she is allowed to communicate with her son.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I started to have a conversation with\u2064 this gentleman, \u2064and he said, &#8216;So, how often \u2063do they let you talk to him?&#8217;\u200d &#8230; It\u200c was a real slap to realize \u200cthat not everyone in the American government even understands what happened, and that\u2014forget about \u2062the 240 for just a moment\u2014we have 10 American civilians\u200c who are part of that group. And to have American\u2062 officials who, 39 days in, don&#8217;t even understand\u2063 what actually happened and\u2063 what\u200b is continuing to happen was really shocking, shocking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Goldberg, who recently spoke\u200b at\u2062 a pro-Israel rally, did not disclose the official&#8217;s name or the government agency they belonged to. She also expressed her belief \u200dthat people are indifferent to the plight of the hostages.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not even so much that they&#8217;re being failed by the world, which I think\u2064 is\u200d obvious,&#8221; she said.\u200b &#8220;I think we as human beings are failing to be \u200bthe\u2062 aspiring, humane beings we claim to be.\u200c I \u200dthink we \u200chave\u2062 tremendous potential. I don&#8217;t think that people are ignoring the 240 human beings that are buried under Gaza\u2063 because they hate them. I think they&#8217;re doing it because they&#8217;re indifferent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The families of the hostages have been sharing their suffering since the beginning of the war. \u200cRecently, a group \u200dof them met with members of Congress to \u200dplead for the release of their loved ones, as reported by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;They are scared. I\u2062 can feel their hearts beating all the time,&#8221; said Rita\u2062 Lifshitz, who lived in one of the communities targeted by the terrorists. &#8220;We need to\u2064 bring \u2063them back home now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What challenges do hostages held by Hamas face and\u2063 how does\u200d it impact\u2063 their lives and the lives of their\u200d families?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ation and despair during a \u200brecent interview. Her \u2064son has been\u200b held captive by the Palestinian terrorist group for over\u2063 three years now, while the world turns a blind eye to his \u200csuffering.

The victims \u200cof these \u2062abductions, \u200doften aid workers, journalists, or civilians, face unimaginable suffering\u200b and uncertainty \u200dabout their future. For them and their\u2064 families, life turns into a \u200bperpetual nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most\u2064 striking aspects \u2062of the hostages&#8217; ordeal is the\u200d lack of attention they receive from\u2063 the global community. Media coverage tends to be fleeting and superficial, failing to illuminate the ongoing \u200dpain faced by the hostages and \u200btheir loved ones. This stark \u200black of awareness\u200b perpetuates their vulnerability and devalues their lives,\u200d allowing Hamas to exploit their suffering for its own political \u2063agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The physical and psychological torment inflicted upon these hostages is \u2063incalculable. The captives are subjected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jan-6-defendant-maced-twice-by-dc-jail-guard-refused-bail\/\" title=\"Jan. 6 Defendant Maced Twice by DC Jail Guard Refused Bail\">inhumane living conditions<\/a>, often kept in cramped and unsanitary cells, denied access to basic necessities such as\u200b medical treatment, adequate food, and clean water. They endure daily threats, coercive interrogations, and are frequently subjected to physical and psychological abuse. \u2063Some hostages have even been executed, their lives extinguished in a cruel display of power by their captors.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the hostages&#8217; families are forced to endure an agonizing \u2063existence, living with the constant \u200bfear and heartache of not knowing if their loved ones are alive or dead. The emotional toll \u200dbecomes even more unbearable when they consider the possibility \u2062that their governments and the international community seem willing to turn a blind eye \u2063to their suffering, prioritizing politics over human lives.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2063 is imperative that\u200d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-things-americas-national-interest-demands-after-the-heinous-hamas-attack\/\" title=\"3 Actions America Must Take After the Horrific Hamas Attack\">international community acknowledges<\/a>\u200b the\u2062 gravity of this issue and takes immediate action to secure the safe release of those held captive by Hamas. The United Nations, in particular, must exercise its authority to remind \u2062Hamas of its obligations under international law and demand the \u2063immediate \u2063release of these hostages. It is essential that member states unite and exert\u2064 pressure on Hamas to force them \u2062to abandon their strategy of using hostages for political gain.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, governments\u200d must ensure that the issue of hostage-taking is \u200bincluded \u2062in their diplomatic engagements \u2064with Hamas. It is\u2063 crucial to make it clear that any progress in bilateral relations \u2062will be contingent upon the release of all hostages without preconditions. This \u200csends\u2062 a powerful message that \u2063the international \u200bcommunity will not tolerate such flagrant violations of human rights.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the \u200cmedia has a responsibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russian-opposition-leader-navalny-sentenced-to-2-5-years-in-prison\/\" title=\"Russian opposition leader Navalny sentenced to 2.5 years in prison\">shed light<\/a> on this issue\u200d and give it the attention it deserves. Journalists can play \u200ba crucial \u200crole\u2064 in raising awareness, revealing the\u200c untold stories \u200dof those held captive by \u200dHamas, and \u200cpressuring governments and international organizations to take action. Comprehensive and factual reporting will expose the true\u2062 nature \u200cof Hamas and its disregard for basic humanitarian principles.<\/p>\n<p>The plight of hostages held by Hamas is a \u200bgrave violation \u200bof human rights,\u2063 and\u200d it \u2062demands immediate attention and action from the international community. Lives \u2064are at stake, and every passing day increases the likelihood\u200b of\u200c irreversible harm befalling\u2062 these innocent victims. It is time to end this silence, to raise our voices, and\u2062 to demand justice for those who are suffering in the grips of Hamas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mother of a hostage held by Hamas said Tuesday that an American official asked her how often the terrorist group lets her talk to her son.
