October 7 saw the largest murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Over 1,300 souls were massacred. Hundreds were taken hostage. Previously in the Senate, I read out the names of all hostages: mums and dads, grandparents, brothers and sisters, toddlers and teenagers, babies, families—people just like you and me. While some hostages have been released, here are the names of those who are still being held hostage by murdering terrorists Hamas. Bring them home.
