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.

      Hamas is a monster fed by Israeli antagonism because feeding those trying to coexist peacefully prevents colonization. They build a monster to fight in order to get more support from people who simply want the monster to go away. All the while, they move to accomplish their real goal of getting rid of Palestinians like other evil empires have attempted to do to Jewish people for millenia. It’s a fucking tragedy to see people that should know the pain of discrimination more than anyone, perpetuate the cycle of violence. Theocratic nationalism is a sin against humanity.

          Where the fuck are the Jews supposed to go?

          Wherever they want? There’s tons of other places for the Israelis to go make lives for themselves. Who the fuck cares if they have “a state” or not? Just go fucking live and don’t fuck shit up for yourselves or the people around you.

          Demanding a “safe space” for your particular genetic deviation in this day and age is nothing more than nationalism. The Jewish people have an established history that encompasses the entire planet. What difference does it make if they have a “state” or not? Do you think the millions of non-practicing jews around the world give a shit?

          Disclaimer: The people saying Jews shouldn’t exist are ignorant, evil assholes. Also, the jews saying they have a right to bulldoze Palestinian homes are ignorant, evil assholes.

          Fuck off with your religious/ethnic bullshit and figure out how to live alongside other fucking people.

            Who cares if they have a state or not? Did you magically forget 6 millions innocent jews vanishing in ww2? Who would protect the jewish race (yes it’s a race, according to everyone in the world sadly) besides themselves? They 100% should have a country, and they 100% shouldn’t have gotten the land of israel. But who gave them it? The world. The UN vote. So blaming them is not really fair. Ever since getting it from the UN, they did nothing but keep it safe, because again, who would defend their race but themselves.

                You both are getting tangled up in victim vs. offender. The reality is that even if there was a place for one of the groups to go and live in peace, both sides would still fight tooth and nail about who is allowed to stay. Jerusalem is sky-daddy’s resort and both want to possess it.

                Reconciliation before secularism is impossible.

            That’s such shortsighted opinion that if all humanity followed it there would be not a piece of the Earth left to live on. People don’t automatically turn terrorist and torture civilians even if they go to war. But in this case they choose to and do cause increased suffering to others beyond whats necessary to win the fight because they enjoy when they can cause others to suffer. It’s sick and deviant. No excuse.

          If they were more civilized (e.g. not rapping and torturing civilians) maybe there would be dozen of countries and organizations helping them with necessities and asylum but who in their healthy mind would go there to be humanitarian risking to be tortured, raped and made their body paraded through their streets?

            I hear they’ve stopped doing rapping, and not just because rap music isn’t as popular there.

            When the wars are over, people in all other conflicts have generally gone home. Sierra Leone, Rwanda, america, Ukraine before, maybe Ukraine again soon, Poland, France, Belgium, Egypt, and Germany. When the war is over, people return home and begin rebuilding.

            If the followers of judaism want to go home, I’m sure they’d be welcomed home and allowed to re/immigrate quickly and easily to the nations their parents fled from. Most could claim full citizenship quickly due to their parents’ citizen status or the parents of their parents.

              I don’t think any Jewish person willing to live peacefully should be made to leave Palestine (if it ever gets “liberated”). They also built a home and became part of the area, many without any fault of their own. Imagine just being born there into this mess. This has been going on for 75 years, people have lived and died already. It would be wrong again to de-home people. This has been the issue from the start. There is enough infrastructure in current-day Israel to be enough for everyone to live and prosper with dignity.

              There has to be a solution that works for everyone, with the smallest number of casualties. It might take decades, but what’s another couple of decades compared to 75 years of Israeli oppression?

              That being said, settlers should give the homes they stole back immediately.

          it’s almost like the entire region is nothing but two sides led by religious radicals who believe that it is their task to purge the other side.

          there are plenty of cases where anti-arab terrorist did similar, often but not always as part of the military, one of who is the current Israeli minister of internal security.

        Hamas is evil, they’re a literal terrorist organization that uses fear and violence as their primary tools and methods. The situation Hamas operates in is absolutely nuanced but saying a terrorist organization is evil and supporting a terrorist organization makes you complicit in supporting evil is not an indicator of a simplistic world view, it’s stating an objective fact. If anything you’re the one expressing a simplistic worldview by ignoring the obvious truths of the situation and its various pieces in favor of obfuscating the parts of the situation that are self evident and clear.

            Hamas is an evil organization, by evil I mean genocide, apartheid, terror, and fear being their governing styles. They’re just less successful at their genocide than China is.

              I don’t know what to tell you, but not Hamas or the Israeli government are interested in peace, in fact many members of the current government were anti-arab terrorists beforehand, and now some guy who got his kicks murdering Muslims in mosques, and praising soldiers who openly execute children as heroes is in charge of the police, and a “settler”(see imperial expansion) in charge of the military, and of course the “Palestinians aren’t even people” PM they have.

              Well aren’t you just a sensationalist. I think its not black and white due to the humanitarian atrocities perpetuated on the palestinian people by the israeli government and its people. These are the chickens coming home to roost.

                They could have e.g. ask for international help, go public etc. They choose to cause suffering so they don’t want to improve their living conditions they want to worsen them for others.
