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.

    If you think that’s what happened, you don’t understand the origins of this conflict in the slightest.

    Jews trying to build an Israeli state has very old origins, but the ACTUAL founding of the state of Israel was entirely about world finding something to do with all the Holocaust refugees who were turned away by every other country in their hour of need.

    This was Europe’s way dealing with a refuge crisis. It wasn’t Jews that seized Palestinian lands, it was the British, and it happened way before they ever entertained any notion of giving up that land for any reason, let alone creating a Jewish state.

      What do you mean origins, it’s what’s happening now!

      Native people get to told to leave their land. House gets bulldozed. Israeli settlement gets built.

      Or are you trying to say every settlement that exists now sprung up in 1948?

      Holocaust refugees who were turned away by every other country in their hour of need

      You may want to read up more on that:

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliyah

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel

      Immigration to the land of Israel started way before the Holocaust or the establishment of the state of Israel, actually against the wishes of the British, and it wasn’t the British who pushed a million Palestinians out.

      After WWII the Jewish population understandably feared staying in non-friendly countries, but still during the early 1950s about 10% of the immigrants left to other countries that had no problem taking them in.

      However, the bulk of immigration happened following a pre-Holocaust One Million Plan, which ended up focusing on Jews from Islamic countries… ironically not because of Holocaust refugee status, but over concerns of retaliation for taking over the land of Israel from the Palestinians in the first place. Which indeed, they did retaliate.

      And look at that, the conflict has continued festering to this day.

      If it wasn’t for the Zionist agenda, there might not have been a state of Israel… and Jews might have been to this day living as before in Islamic countries among others without fear of persecution, with Holocaust refugees having plenty of choices ready to take them in. Alas, the Zionist agenda won, and the number of Jewish refugees increased several-fold… which only further fed the agenda.

      The implications of all that for the radicalization of the Islamic world, would be an exercise for another time.

        The link you just gave about the One Million Plan puts it during the holocaust, 1944. Mistake?
