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.
Terrorism is not "fighting back." If they'd solely struck military targets, I would have significantly more empathy for them. I have 0 empathy for terrorism.

Goliath was in fact a soldier.
I get your point, but the consequences of this particular attack are almost certainly going to include a land invasion of Gaza, which will result in even more aggressive ethnic cleansing/genocide of the Palestinian people. But Israel has such disproportionate power in this situation that the only realistic way to halt the genocide is if Isreal decides to do it on its own, and that won't happen without significant international pressure (particularly from the US).
It would be far easier to win international support for the Palestinian cause if it was lead by progressive, democratic groups instead of a religious fundamentalist organization known for engaging in disproportionate violence against civilians (not even 2% of the level of violence Isreal has enacted to Palestine, but still).
