The mother of a woman whose body was paraded through the streets by Hamas has pleaded for help finding her daughter.

A video showing German tattoo artist Shani Louk on the back of a pickup truck circulated on social media after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

Louk had been attending an outdoor “Festival for Peace” party near Kibbutz Urim when the area was targeted. First, rockets were launched, then gunmen and appeared and shot into the crowd, CNN reported. Party attendees told the outlet people immediately started to flee, passing dead bodies on the ground as they tried to escape the massacre.

The attack and resulting conflict has left hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians dead, with Israel’s prime minister declaring war.

A video of a young woman with dreadlocks on the back of a pickup truck and surrounded by Hamas soldiers started circulating on social media shortly after the attack. In it, she appears stripped to her underwear, and her legs are bent at unnatural angles, while one soldier grabs her hair. People are also seen spitting on her body.

    And some terrorist supporters here on Lemmy were trying to explain to us that they were just casually “transporting” the body of a dead woman and that they weren’t doing anything disgusting with her. We all know what islamist terrorists do when they spot a young woman, to pretend that Hamas is any different from ISIS is to be completely delusional.

    Palestinians will lose more and more support (mine already) as long as they keep shielding the Islamist animals of Hamas.

    EDIT: also thank goodness for !world@lemmy.world, because others like !worldnews@lemmy.ml are run by terrorist supporters (see for yourself in their modlog: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/14788)

        Why not? Hell I’m Jewish and I think the Israeli govt is regularly in the wrong and I feel for the people of Israel that could have better lives and those the govt harms. I also think Hamas is evidently wretched and those perpetrating these abhorrent acts deserve everything coming to them.

        Unfortunately, while I’m sure Hamas will suffer, the civilians of both Israel and Palestine will once again bear the true cost of this conflict.

            My opinion is that they are a people, caged. The conditions that they live in are far below what they deserve for being human.

            That’s my opinion really: they’re humans, just like all others and they deserve to be treated with dignity and to be loved and to be able to sleep knowing that they are safe. They have been deprived of these things for far, far too long and I believe that is deeply wrong.

            What’s your opinion on Palestinians?

              Based on the time stamps, you commented only an hour after then. Did you truly believe that if someone doesn’t respond to a comment within an hour, they’re purposely being silent? Or were you just chomping at the bit to say all Israelis were bad?

              As funny as it would be to call you antisemitic if you don’t reply within the hour – take your time.

        That does not excuse Hamas or their terrorism

          Whats the altenative? Another generation of palestinians lost to the political whims of Netenyahu and the dehumanized at the hands of the far right while calmly waiting for the world to finally stop turning a blind eye? Can they start fighting back after they’ve been oppressed for 100 years or do we have to wait even longer?

        Sure, you can always be hated by everybody. That’s generally my MO in most things. I think Hamas is a terrorist Islamic group and the Likud are ur-fascists.

        I never exactly condoned them, but this is the first time in my adult life they’ve gone out of their way to personally harm innocent civilians. It’s such a shocking and brutal display that I don’t know how anyone could carry water for them anymore – at the very least, this makes them equal to the Israeli government, so someone whose horrified at the treatment of Palestinians by Israel should be just as horrified here.

        It bears mentioning that in no way does Hamas represent all Palestinians, too. Hamas is hurting them too by hiding in civilian buildings and using the people effectively as shields. It’s unconscionable to hide in hospitals and mosques after doing something like this, they’re purposely daring Israel to make everyone around them into collateral.

        It is in everyone’s benefit for Hamas to be wiped out and destroyed.

          Except the there are only three real ways for Israel to kill Hamas. Getting rid of every Palestinian so the are no Palestinians to get angry and turn to desperate measures. Enforcing an authoritarian state where all civil liberties are taken away from Palestinians. Or firmly rejecting expansion into areas where Palestinians live, harshly prosecuting any who discriminate against Palestinians, letting them self govern, and energizing their economy to lift standards of living drastically. An end to everything Israel does to hurt Palestinians and help themselves that Israel can do. Huge concessions to try and make up for all the shit they’ve done.

          The ethnical option will clearly not be chosen by the current government, and the US, obligated by their desire to have allies in the middle east, will help them try to accomplish some combination of the first two options. It’s awful.

            Oh it was there, I was outraged at that as well. I believe it was Israel who accidentally killed an American journalist and refused to release evidence for some time?

            There are no good guys here, by a longshot.

      And what will Germany do about one of their people being murdered in this way? Nothing. They’ll hide behind their mask of progressive European nation, and do nothing, while likely supporting the bad guys, just like they do with Russia.

      You can’t get Germans to do anything unless you wave money in their face

        ya, we did the whole blood and soil bit in the 1930-1945, we have since decided that ethnic cleansing is not the answer to someone getting killed.

        or what would you say Germany do? go and start slaughtering the people in Gaza? maybe dig out the old playbooks, what was it 10 jews Muslims for every German killed? is that what you are calling for?

          I guess your answer is to do nothing. Kill Germans? It’s ok, we would hate to be seen as intolerant to terrorists, so just kill our citizens. But in truth, Germans would glass the entire continent if it meant they get more money

            there are two options for what Germany could do, Nothing, or invade all of Israel, institute an occupational goverment and then rebuild the Israeli government with both Jews and Palestinians.

            on the other hand, your “do something” seems to be entirely kill everyone in Gaza as revenge against Hamas.

        Israel has German submarines (the German version, not the worse export version) that were gifted to them, especially suited to be used in the Persian Gulf, on the coast of Iran, where Hamas’ money and equipment come from.
