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.

    Native Americans did fuck people up. They weren’t innocent, they fought back and when the colonizers started mutilating people’s corpses they retaliated in kind. There is no perfect victim.

      The indians who followed Mahatma Gandhi.

      The african americans who followed Martin Luther King Jr.

      I’m sure there were some bad apples in both of those groups, but a majority of them achieved their goals via peaceful means. The majority of palestinians are assholes.

            A noteworthy survey from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) unveiled that 58% in Gaza and 42% in the West Bank favor Hamas. Intriguingly, younger Palestinians and Gaza residents displayed stronger support, especially those viewing Hamas as Palestine’s ideal representative and resistor against Israel.

            Those are the stats from 2021. Yes, so what about the other 50%? Do you think there is a bit more complication going into supporting Hamas? Or does that conclusion lead you to “they are assholes”? My question is, how? Walk me through your reasoning.

        That’s like saying “the Palestinians who aren’t Hamas”. MLK himself said that his movement benefited greatly because people were forced to pay attention to it. If it could have been ignored then it probably would have been, but it presented an alternative to the more violent and terroristic solutions to racism presented by some of MLK’s contemporaries, so even there you can’t separate out that movement from the context and expect it to stand alone.

        Also i hear shit like “the majority of black people are assholes” from racist fuckers all the time so this post is giving me kinda mixed messages.
