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.
I am yes to see that on Lemmy in the way you describe /: seems like everyone agrees that killing civilians is wrong, including when Israel does it.
you missed the Marxists from lemmygrad who yesterday kept cheering for Hamas and kept downplaying their savagery
Ah okay, so when you said lemmy, you meant lemmygrad specifically
Marxists and the far-left are also spread all over Lemmy, not just lemmygrad, you could see more pro-terrorist comments from other instances. Their pattern is usually the same: rebrand it as “resistance”, downplay the fact that they targeted mainly civilians, and rewrite the facts by claiming for example that the woman was just being transported for burial.
Yes but lemmygrad and hexbear are hardly representative of the fediverse.
Of course, I don’t think I implied that. What I meant to say is that they were very active yesterday on any thread about Hamas’ terrorist attack to defend them.
Yeah I hear that. I’ve definitely been liberally blocking instances
No, but the original person this discussion started with did imply that.
What about ML?

Ok
Not to mention how they see Palestinians as pawns
They almost always circlejerk themselves into admitting one of the reasons they’re so giddy about civilian slaughter is because they think it’ll mean resources will be diverted from Ukraine so daddy Putin can conquer it and genocide those kulaks like grampappy Stalin did!

The entire situation is fubar. I feel for the citizens of both Israel and Palestine as both countries are just horrible to each other. To me it feels like there is no good side, whatever you choose, you end up with one form of evil x.x
I wish there would be a good way to solve this but I am not sure that this will be fixed any time soon. Hopefully the bloodshed will be minimal, because hoping for none at all would be futile
Someone hasn’t been to hexbear and lemmygrad today.
Literally in this thread right now.

Yeah and the Hamas supporting comments are downvoted to hell. Where is the problem?
In this thread yeah, but in other ones they’re at the top.
Which ones?
Here, for example: https://lemmy.world/comment/4223593
Or https://lemmy.world/comment/4224328
Looks to me more like a healthy discussion /:
24 up, 6 down
Just keep reading the replies from V H. He gets more apologist as you go farther down.
I disagree with this person but they aren’t exactly Hamas supporters. I was expecting something more clear than just comments that could only vaguely be regarded as supportive/excusing of violence.

Most there are like “yeah murdering and raping innocent civilians is bad but what choice do the poor Palestinians have after Israel stole their land”.
Top 8 comments in that thread condemn it. The ninth one is downvoted to hell.
