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)
Both things can be bad… you know that? Right?
And sometimes one side is much worse than the other.
So which far right extremist theocracy is worse in this case?
I’d go with the one parading executed civilians and spitting on their bodies tbh.
Idk, the ones who decided they didn’t like the borders they agreed to so they took it and started bombing schools, apartments, parks, and the like as “defending our land” when the locals pushed back seem pretty equal here.

this sadly does not narrow it down
Did you just start following this conflict yesterday? Lmao.
It’s possible to oppose Hamas and the Israeli government at the same time. Hamas being fundamentalist terrorists doesn’t retroactively justify the Israeli government forcing millions of people into ghettos without access to clean water and regularly subjecting them to state violence. Or the ongoing settlement program, where Palestinian towns are forcibly evacuated and their property/homes stolen and given to Israeli settlers.
Two things can Both be bad at once, especially since the only reason Hamas exists is because of the desperation of Palestinians caused by Israeli state policy. Netanyahu’s government even gave them money at one point, because Hamas is good for his political goals. Hamas prevents a more democratic, progressive resistance to the occupation from forming, which makes it easier for Netanyahu’s government to justify their ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing.
Ok but one of those is funny “reason:explaining antisemitism to a Jewish person”
I didn’t read what they actually said but that got a solid chuckle from me
I didn’t know the pope of jewdaism was a lemmee admin. What an honour.

I see this the same way I see Russians and Putin: the same way it is the Russians’ responsibility to dispose of Putin, it is also the Palestinians’ responsibility to get rid of Hamas. Hamas isn’t recruiting in India, they’re recruiting Palestinians who have been fed hate for Jewish people since they were little. Even the fucking Palestinian Authority, which many brand as “moderate”, stands behind this terrorist attack.
I dont know how to explain to you that Palestinians who legally do not have rights in Israel and have been denied any enfranchisement of their rights over the last 70 years by Israel and America would have no interest in overthrowing the only group that even claims it will help them.
They aren’t fed Jewish hate, they only have to watch as Israeli police and military murder their whole communities on live television every single day from the day they were born.
I have to look out for my own mental health so I’m just going to tell you to actually research the peace talks and the disposition of the extremely racist and dictatorial state run by Netanyahu. Here’s a lonerbox video that covers part of it. I can’t bash my head against a wall arguing with people who see the thousands of massacres of Palestinians as justified. If you think that you’re already too far gone. You already see Palestinians as less than insects, and I can’t convince you otherwise so in the interest of my mental health I’m not going to waste my day off trying.

Okay, I’m just pointing out that she wasn’t stripped or raped. Israel will use the emotions created by this event to justify ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip, might as well not pile on false info on top.
Yes Hamas is bad but Hamas only exists because of Israel’s behavior.
A rapid dog breaks it’s chain and bites a child. Yes the dog has to be put down but the real fault lies in the one that kept it chained up, starving and beat it with a stick every day.
Problem is that most Palestinians support Hamas.

Wasn’t that what she was actually wearing? Why do people assume assaults occurred?
Colonizers versus natives, and you side with the colonizers who created this situation. Lmao.
Damn fucking straight i do the israelis are clearly in the right in this conflict the palestinians have soiled their bed and must now come too terms with it being time too lie in it.
Clapping for the fascists commiting slow genocide, bold move cotton.

Then you haven’t watched the video, because we see the exact thing that is being quoted here:
They’re celebrating, one of the terrorists has his leg over her and another terrorist is pulling her hair, probably both finally feeling manly and triumphant by killing a helpless woman, and they’re literally letting the adorable Palestinians spit on her. If you don’t see this in the video then you need a full eye check. You mentioning “brown people” is a pathetic attempt to reframe us as racists.
Worse of all her face is bloodied, likely she was killed or knocked unconscious. After that, why take her? Why shoot that video? Why the guy who comes back in the end and spits on her face? These are the actions of some people in Hamas. It doesn’t help to deny it. My bet is that a lot of people also support Hamas due to the lack of a viable alternative since peace doesn’t work. Please don’t misunderstand me though, I dislike Hamas very much and there cannot be shit like this happening if they want to be taken seriously. It’s not a very PR smart move either. This kind of hatred is what drives people to commit atrocities, and things need to deescalate. Not mentioning, however, that Israel’s actions fuel much of that hatred would be not painting the full picture.
I find it hard to believe that anyone would watch this and not understand the “parading” aspect of it.
The video is disgusting. I really hope she is found alive.

Spotted the terrorist supporter
“Don’t talk about the barbarism, war crimes, or rapes, committed by the people I support, it looks bad, and they…need our help”
What. The. Fuck.
You’re not even saying just a general support Palestinians. You’re literally saying we need to support the men slaughtering civilians and children, on video.
You can talk about it, but call it like it is. Don’t make false accusations of the body being paraded. And even if they were parading it, address the context properly. It’s terrible when an ugly thing happens, but at the end of the day these people are rightfully fighting for their freedom.
Holy hell you’re fucked in the head.
I was going to make a point about the distinctions between killing IDF vs massacring hundreds of music festival attendees, but I suspect you also support rape as a legitimate weapon of war, as long as you’re side is doing it, so I’m just going to dip out here.
Well, see ya then. For anyone else entertaining that idea, yes it is terrible when civilians are harmed, but all of that blood is on the hands of the Israeli apartheid regime.
Huh? How do you figure that? Isreal has done a ton of fucked things but that doesn’t excuse massacring civilians. If you want support in fighting your oppressors you don’t go around committing war crimes of your own. Both sides suck here.
No. People who kill and/or rape a young girl and then parade her through the streets don’t deserve our support, no matter how tough they’ve had it. I recommend rethinking your life choices, bud.
No Israel hasn’t ever done that! No… I mean they wouldn’t run a person over a bulldozer or intentionally blind camera people or murder journalists.
Wait no, they’ve done all of that.

The fuck is wrong with you? They’ve got a half naked dead woman in the truck and folks are spitting on her.
No support. How anyone can support these people is fucked up.
Black South Africans practiced necklacing, but still received lots of support. Would you not have supported the struggle against apartheid in South Africa?
One can support the ending of apartheid without condoning murder.
And yet you likely wouldn’t have gotten one without the other.
This is simply not historically accurate. Without foreign nations pulling support for apartheid and switching to sanctions, apartheid would never have ended
You can’t support the ending of apartheid without supporting the ending of apartheid.
-Malcolm X
The most significant factor in the end of apartheid was foreign sanctions. These murders were similarly unjustifiable and indefensible to the Hamas attacks
Oh Shut the Fuck up with your fucking bullshit
You need to seek the aid of a mental health professional
This is precisely why we must condemn Hamas and anyone who cheers for this video. These bastards don’t represent the Palestinians. That needs to be made crystal clear. They do all these horrific acts in the name of Palestine, then hide in mosques and hospitals – so that if anyone tries to kill them, they’ll kill the innocent people too.
No one can inflame resentment against Palestinians more than Hamas has already done. They’ve chosen to damn innocent Palestinians and take them hostage, by butchering innocent Israelis and taking them hostage.
If you support freedom for the Palestinian people, you must also support the swift end of Hamas. Otherwise you’re just trying to hurt Israelis and don’t give a shit about what happens to Palestinians.
Well, that’s just nonsense. Hamas was democratically elected. Furthermore, the only Palestinian representation that Israel and its apologists will accept is one that puts Palestinian interests second.

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
What prompted this tantrum?
You must have missed the part where a young German citizen was murdered. I’m a Canadian and my government is very similar to Germany’s in that they’re all talk. All image, but ultimately they only care about money
What do you think germany can do in this situation?
So the Germans are supporting the bad guys, including Russia. Aha, good to know!
Besides, what would you like them to do? Less talk more invasion of Palestine?
you know, the Canadian reputation has gone on for too long, you guys seem to be neo-liberals, or Genocidal fascists
Yeah I grew up being told Canada was so great, but as I got older all I see is nothing but bullshit
seems more like you have an unhealthy media diet, considering you have decided on “genocidal fascist”
How is it genocide to kill terrorists, terrorist isn’t an ethnic identity. Unless you’re saying that all Palestinians are terrorists, which I never said. I can tell the difference between a Hamas militant and a Palestinian civilian even if you can’t. I grew up in a war, I actually lived it, unlike your modern American/colonialist couch bound ass.
you’re the one calling for some revenge killing, also I couldn’t care less what war you grew up in, just as little as you don’t care where I’m from and just assume me to be an “American/Colonialist”, unless you have any interesting opinions on Eastern Europe you want to share as well? maybe some being upset about the US stopping the dual genocides in the Balkans?
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
jewsMuslims 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
If someone is murdered, do we hold the entire society accountable or just the one person who committed the crime?
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.
What do you want them to do huh?
Damn krauts.
