Disturbing visuals of Hamas parading a naked and battered body of a woman on the streets of Israel have emerged. Another woman confirmed that it was her sister, a German citizen, seen in the video.

As the Israel-Gaza conflict rages, disturbing visuals of fighters of the Palestinian armed group Hamas parading a naked and battered body of a woman through the streets of Israel in the back of a pickup truck have emerged.

According to videos that surfaced on social media, a screaming crowd surrounds the Hamas’ vehicle, echoing their cries and spitting on the woman’s body.

Hamas initially claimed that the body belonged to a female Israeli soldier, according to news.com.au. However, Adi Louk confirmed on X that the woman seen in the video was her sister, Shani Louk, a German citizen and a tattoo artist, reported the New York Post.

Shani Louk’s mother, in a video message posted by Visegrad 24 on X, confirmed her daughter’s identity and appealed to people for more information regarding her whereabouts.

      And so is Israel. Two terrorist groups throwing bombs to each other, without giving a heck about their own citizens. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Israel at least seems to care about Israelis from my perspective. Hamas just sees Palestinians as collateral damage.

        Well, Israel is literally surrounded by countries who want to destroy them and wipe them off the face of the earth for religious reasons. I understand their anxiety.

        That being said, Israel is not innocent.

            • Hamas sets up military operations in a civilian building by force - the civilians have no say in this and get killed if they protest
            • Hamas then uses that building to launch rockets, store ammunition, communication stations

            How the fuck should Israel proceed to neutralize those sites? Because what they do is:

            • “Roof knocking”: Hitting the building’s roof with a small explosive to announce that it will fall in 15 minutes (see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teevWpXlRZY example from yesterday)
            • Automatic SMS and phone calls impacted areas warning and urging to evacuate
            • Precision strikes that make the building fall vertically with minimal damage to the areas

            As a result, civilians (and potentially military personnel) are given a chance to evacuate while ammunition stashes, rocket launching stations etc stay in the building and are destroyed.

            To be honest, I’m shocked those protocols are still used after Hamas’s attack. I would absolutely not be surprised of these measures stopped.

              The anti-Israel don’t care that Israel is bending over backwards to minimize human suffering while fighting a decades long war against people who are deliberately trying to kill their children.

              Remember how upset they are when Israel does something 100 percent defensive, like build a security fence to keep out an endless stream of suicide bombers?

              This isn’t good-faith criticism.

              These people hate Israel for this that they works be applauding other countries for. And we all know why.

                  Sure… In the same way that cops don’t necessarily have to be racist to be part of a system that is unquestionably racist.

                  Plenty of people who aren’t anti-Jewish don’t give a second thought to the fact that they spend about 10000% more energy publicly criticizing Israel than they do any of Israel’s neighbors who oppress women horrifically, murder LGBTQ people, and are unabashedly pro-genocide.

                  They also criticize Israel for civilian collateral damage without acknowledging that Israeli’s steps to minimize those deaths are the most advanced in history, and that they easily outperform even the United States in minimizing casualties during military operations.

                  So, no… You don’t have to be anti-Jewish to be anti Israel, but when you criticize the only Jewish state for things that you give inarguably worse nations a pass for… Your absolutely feeding into an anti-Jewish system.

            Are you serious NOT defending a country that does that? That goes out of their way to destroy terrorist infrastructure while taking extraordinary steps to give civilians time to evacuate, necessarily letting terrorists themselves flee to go kill Israelis again, because that’s what it takes to protect innocent lives?!

            You’re NOT defending that country?

            Why the fuck not. That’s insane.

            Israel has found a way of destroying terrorists headquarters without injuring the civilians that Hamas is using as human shields.

            In the history of the WORLD has any country every bent over backwards this much?

            And you guys wonder why both Republicans and Democrats overwhelming ignore your criticisms? It’s because your position isn’t a serious one.

            It’s war, those are the rules of engagement for war. I’d they didn’t do that out would be considered a war crime. It’s not about what someone’s world view is. Israel definitely created the situation they are in today through their oppression, but that is how you do that. 15 minutes is enough time to evacuate.

              I thought those were “shoot before you get shot”. Firing warning shots is being super polite about it. Still sucks for the civilians though.

        Are you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates? Good luck coming up with a response that matches your standards when your country is under a rocket barrage. The double standards people develop when sitting in the safety of their home and regurgitating biased news… It’s thanks to people like you that this conflict thrives, because extremists from both sides use the lies you spread to their advantage.

            Hamas quite famously and openly uses their own people as human shields. They launch rocket attacks from hospitals and school buildings to give Israel the choice between retaliating by striking those places, or just sitting there and letting their own civilians die.

            And when you get mad at Israel for the times they do retaliate, you’re 100 percent playing into the hands of the terrorists. The WHOLE reason they use this tactic is because YOUR reaction to it is their goal.

            Which is why it’s infuriating when someone takes a side without a shred of nuance here. Too many people don’t understand that you can can condemn Hamas, condemn the Israeli government, and still believe the Palestinian and Israeli civilians deserve to live in peace.

              Palestinians have walked away from every peace talk and turned to terrorism.

              Because every peace talk has been “We’re gonna offer you a fraction of your stuff and you should be happy about it”. The Israeli position is that Palestine should be happy with breadcrumbs, and Palestinians are understandably not happy about that. Israel hasn’t changed its position, and has actually gotten worse, hence terrorism.

                  None of them involved pulling out of Gaza and the West Bank, that’s for sure. When your peace offers practically don’t even include independence, it’s hard to take them seriously. And don’t get me started about East Jerusalem.

          That’s exactly what they are doing.

          They hold Israel to an invented standard that they apply to no other nation.

          There was a brief, shining moment after 9/11 when the entire world was united against terrorism. But the critics of Israel were so determined to frame Israel as the bad guys that they invented a meaningless phrase “state terrorism” which just meant “anything that Israel does”. And they pretended that that was the moral equal to the actual terrorism of the Palestinians, deliberately targeting children and other innocents.

          Israel builds a fence to keep out suicide bombers. They scream “apartheid!”

          Israel bulldozes a vacated house that was used as a terrorist bomb-making factory. They scream “genocide!”

          The problem with Israel’s critics is that since they damn Israel for any and every action, they have made their voices utterly useless.

        No, they are a proxy war by Iran to push back from normalized relationships between the Saudis and Israel in a time when Iran is starting to feel internal pressure to “catch up” to the rest of the world. I feel for the people there, but this is messier and more disgusting than a simple retaliation.

          To be fair, there’s been brutality and retaliation in the region since the Paleolithic, at this point everyone can claim to be “just pushing back” against some era of oppression.

          Kind of a fertile ground for proxy wars.

          If only you cried for the oppressed as much as you cry for the oppressor.

          There were two ‘Reigns of Terror,’ if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the ‘horrors’ of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break?

          What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror–that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

          Mark Twain

            How the fuck do you know they don’t?

            The sign of a campist, they can’t conceive of the idea that an act itself is what makes the action good or bad, so they assume nobody else can either, and therefore only call out bad actions selectively for debate advantage.

            Power dynamics establish only if a motivation for bad actions is built into the systems of local governance. Not if those actions are bad.

            I don’t care how oppressed the folks in Gaza are, the rape and murder of civilians is not suddenly ok because some Bougeyevik with a soviet iconography fetishized picrew pfp on twitter says they had it coming for being le evil settlers.

            Nevermind how the settler shit hasn’t been a relevant issue for Gaza’s situation since the early 2000s. The half of Palestine that actually has to deal with what all the hammer and sickle profiles justify permitting mass rape and slaughter with is completely separate from where this shitstorm erupted from.

              I did look through their Lemmy posts but arguably its not the full story I’ll admit.

              The act with no context committed in a void is terrible, but we’re not talkimg about theoretical ethics, everything has context and that context can change everything. You probably wouldn’t be so angry at videos of resistance fighters raping and murdering Nazis and collaborators, why? Because of the context.

              Violence against oppression is not something that can or should be condemned by those who have never faced that oppression.

              Also hate to break it to you the settlers will be an issue for as long as they are there. Look at Northern Ireland, it’s been 400 years and the settlers there are still an issue. Look at America, it’s been 300 years and the settlers there are still causing issues for the indigenous people.

                Imagine comparing civilians and children to fucking Nazis and Nazi collaborators. Particularly Israeli civilians and children given the impetus behind how Israel was ultimately recognized to begin with.

                  I picked an example that I knew the context would be almost universally thought of as morally good even though the act in it’s self is indefensible.

                  I’m not comparing those two either, the IDF exists and makes a great comparison against other fascist state’s armies. French resistance fighters also definitely killed innocent civilians and children so still makes a decent comparison since society views violent resistance against certain oppressors even with civilian casualties as okay and some as terrorism.

                  Also Imagine being so braindead that thinking being against fascist states means you are antisemitic.
