Hamas' American Hostages
(Wall Street Journal) William McGurn - Six innocent Americans are being held captive by Hamas. It is a sad reality that America's enemies feel empowered to kill, capture or threaten our citizens abroad. Unfortunately, the names of the six U.S. hostages now languishing in some dank Gaza tunnel are largely unknown to their countrymen: Edan Alexander, 19. Itay Chen, 19. Omer Neutra, 22. Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23. Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35. Keith Siegel, 64. Hamas also holds the bodies of Judy Weinstein Haggai and Gadi Haggai. At least 32 Americans were among the murdered on Oct. 7. Hamas knows full well that six of their hostages are Americans. Yet they've continued to hold them. What does that say about their fear of the U.S.?
