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.
Holy hell you’re fucked in the head.
I was going to make a point about the distinctions between killing IDF vs massacring hundreds of music festival attendees, but I suspect you also support rape as a legitimate weapon of war, as long as you’re side is doing it, so I’m just going to dip out here.
Well, see ya then. For anyone else entertaining that idea, yes it is terrible when civilians are harmed, but all of that blood is on the hands of the Israeli apartheid regime.
Huh? How do you figure that? Isreal has done a ton of fucked things but that doesn’t excuse massacring civilians. If you want support in fighting your oppressors you don’t go around committing war crimes of your own. Both sides suck here.
I’m not excusing crimes against civilians. I’m saying Israel needs to be held accountable for them.
When you throw your hands up and say “both sides suck”, what you’re really doing is siding with the occupying apartheid regime.
“I’m not excusing the Hamas/Islamic Jihad massacre of the civilians at the music festival, I’m saying Israel needs to be held accountable for it”
Are you just incredibly bad at the English language and how to properly express your thoughts? Or was my translation of your sentiment correct?
You are close enough. As the aggressor and occupier, Israel is responsible for the consequences of Palestinian self-defense, as ugly as it might get sometimes. Every day that they persist with the occupation, they wager civilian lives.
Cool. You’re quite literally pro-terrorism. Not in a rhetorical or hyperbolic sense, but in the very literal sense that you fully believe that massacring civilians is a legitimate and justified tool to use in order to achieve ones political and social objectives.
But you even go further and also believe that any acts of terrorism are solely the fault of the victims, or their government. The people committing those acts have no agency, or responsibility, for their actions.
The roster of terrorists includes the likes of John Brown, Bobby Sands, and Nelson Mandela, so we shouldn’t automatically recoil from the term.
You’re putting words in my mouth. Not once did I put any blame on the victims. And there should be accountability for individuals, which can be hastened by bringing an end to the occupation.
