American hostages are being held by a terrorist regime that just recently executed one of them as he was nearly liberated. The murder of 6 hostages came in the tunnels under Rafah, where Kamala Harris and Joe Biden famously and repeatedly told Israel not to fight.  “I’ve studied the maps,” Kamala Harris said—as she warned Israel not to go into Rafah.  Israel restrained, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin was executed where Biden and Harris pressured Israel not to go.

Tim Walz—Kamala’s VP pick—was asked about the execution of the hostages, including Hersh, and, like Jesting Pilate, washed his hands and walked away from the question. Under this administration, there’s been a lot of walking away—including from the moral principle that we pressure those who take innocent and American hostages and not those who are the victims, especially when the victims are our allies and citizens.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin—and some 30 other Americans—were slaughtered by Hamas, a terror organization.

We should not be walking away—from Israel or from our innocents.
