Time to Bring our Boys Home

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, a very important interview with Dr. Leah Goldin, whose son Hadar Goldin HY”D was killed by Hamas terrorists in 2014, and whose body remains in Hamas’ hands along with the body of IDF soldier Oron Shaul HY”D. Goldin says the Israeli government must demand a price from Hamas in order to bring back our boys along with the other two Israelis believed to be held by Hamas. She adds that Hamas is on the receiving end of millions of “humanitarian aid” dollars, but governments past and present have not done what is necessary to carry out the basic IDF tenant of – no soldier is left behind. More information can be found at www.hadargoldinfoundation.org, while at the same time the Goldin’s are calling on Jews around the world to not only to have the Goldin family in their “hearts” but in their “heads” in doing what they can to help bring Hadar home.
