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.
Did I say I support them? I just said speaking out it as good v evil, black v white is simplistic. Do you disagree?

The person I was responding to called hamas evil. You called hamas evil. The cognitive dissonance is strong in you.

Saying someone is acting evil and calling an entire group evil, regardless of actions, are two different things. Equating them to make your position stronger is a transparent attempt to sidestep the point.

Your 3rd paragraph makes sense but the second undercuts any attempt at meeting in the middle, omitting any context of the subjugation of the palestinian people and their limited means of fighting back. I will stop believing people like you are okay with the subjugation of palestine as soon as someone puts forth an alternative avenue of resolution. So far its just a lot of people saying "not like this."

Okay, this is for sure sidestepping the issue, right? Ignoring my comment completely and simply attacking my character? If this isn't side stepping the issue than my english comprehension may be as poor as yours.
No, but you’re defending them. What makes them different really than any mass killers trying to get what they want through violence?
You’ve gotta be one of those people that are just mad at society and want to lash out, seeing that anyone that doesn’t agree with you must be punished.
There’s no way you would go out of your way for any other reason. You need therapy.
I'm defending them because the world has thrown them away and they don't have a propaganda arm of their government to sway public opinion. Without people like me speaking to the struggle and humanity of the Palestinians they become otherized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_(philosophy)
