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.

    You aren’t there or in their situation. You should keep your mouth shut

    You realize that applies to you equally, right? I hope you do. Because this is the dishonesty I’m talking about.

    In actually, I have as much right as you to comment on this situation, especially since this is an internet forum where the whole point is discussion. So “keep your mouth shut” is just about the most useless comment ever, and should be heeded by those who think to say it.

    So, yes. I am well within my rights to say that murdering hundreds of civilians at a music festival, and raping, beating, and parading naked a foreign national are not the right way to go about protesting oppression by the Israeli government. Just as you are well within your rights to argue that those are acceptable things to do. It’s an awful thing for you to defend, but you’re allowed to express that opinion.

      Absolutely it applies equally to me. Where did I say they should or shouldn’t be doing anything?

      You have the right to say whatever you want. War is nasty, and a weaker forcer fighting a stronger force is usually even worse. They can’t win a head on attack. The only reasonable option is guerilla attacks on targets of opportunity. I’m not going to say what those targets are allowed to be or what tools or methods they’re allowed to employ.

      The people of Israel have elected far-right leaders with Zionist ideals. Not all of them obviously, but all of them did have a choice. If they finally faced consequences for Zionism they might change their mind. I doubt that’ll happen with this (it’ll probably make it worse) but if things fall together in the right way it could. I don’t know what other options they have other than keep getting murdered and having their houses stolen.

        And I think that’s a shame.

        Slaughtering, raping, and torturing civilians and foreign nationals who are in no way involved in the decision making process is not acceptable. Hard stop.

        It’s shameful that you won’t say that too.
