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.

    So question, can you be anti terrorist and anti Israel?

      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?

            Apologies, I was busy not being chronically online. Made some noise for you so that you can pass judgement upon me at your leisure.

            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.

      I strongly disagree with Israel’s policies regarding settlements, Palestinians in general, etc.

      That does not excuse Hamas or their terrorism

          Israel is more fucked because they definitely have the resource to prevent this. How long can you deprive someone of their basic needs before their humanity is stripped away?

            That only holds until you realize that Hamas are islamic jahadists. The latter are worse, no question.

        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.

      Nope unless you consider israel as the terrorists, which from the point of view of palestinians is true.
