Shimon Goldin
Shimon Goldin is an Israeli historian and a retired lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces. He is known for his relentless advocacy for the return of his son, Hadar Goldin, who was killed during the 2014 Gaza war and his body was held by Hamas. Over the years, Shimon has become a prominent figure in discussions about the ethical and moral obligations of the Israeli government regarding soldiers' remains.
