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.

    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.
