'We failed you': Berkeley-born hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin laid to rest in Jerusalem
Briefly

"I'm sorry, Hersh, we failed you, we all failed you," John Polin, Hersh's father said. This statement reflects the profound grief and sense of failure felt by the family after their son, taken hostage, was found dead.
"OK sweet boy, go now on your journey, I hope it's as good as the trips you dreamed about because finally my sweet boy, finally finally finally finally, you're free!" Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Hersh's mother, expressed her sorrow yet hoped for his peace as he was laid to rest.
"It's really a gut-punch that that call to bring Hersh home ended in failure and we're all in mourning right now," Tyler Gregory said, highlighting the broader community's grief over Hersh's tragic end.
"What we need to remember is an American hostage was murdered. So we all need to advocate for our representatives and our government to do everything that they can, diplomatically, military, to bring our remaining hostages home alive," Tyler Gregory emphasized the urgent need for advocacy.
