The body of the German-Israeli tattoo artist Shani Louk, clad only in her underwear, was paraded through the streets of Gaza by Hamas.

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.

    I dont know how to explain to you that Palestinians who legally do not have rights in Israel and have been denied any enfranchisement of their rights over the last 70 years by Israel and America would have no interest in overthrowing the only group that even claims it will help them.

    They aren’t fed Jewish hate, they only have to watch as Israeli police and military murder their whole communities on live television every single day from the day they were born.

    I have to look out for my own mental health so I’m just going to tell you to actually research the peace talks and the disposition of the extremely racist and dictatorial state run by Netanyahu. Here’s a lonerbox video that covers part of it. I can’t bash my head against a wall arguing with people who see the thousands of massacres of Palestinians as justified. If you think that you’re already too far gone. You already see Palestinians as less than insects, and I can’t convince you otherwise so in the interest of my mental health I’m not going to waste my day off trying.
