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.

      No, this incident is special because she’s neither Palestinian nor Israeli, was purposely killed anyway, and then her corpse was paraded and glorified. Race has absolutely nothing to do with that. It would be just as horrific if she were instead a black man from the US, or if Israel had done it.

      It doesn’t matter who the victim is, or who the perpetrator is – they’re fucking monsters and need to die.

        Just checking to make sure, you believe that this is the first person to be killed by Israel or Hamas that wasn’t from the region?

          That was purposely killed in an indiscriminate attack and then their body paraded around? I believe so. The international community is generally not harmed in these conflicts and then their corpse celebrated.

        Because it was all at once? I’m sure numbers are similar on both sides if not far more killed by Israelis, just not in large scale attacks. So the issue is that they were loud and immediate instead of slow simmering genocide?
