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.

    When you attack a festival for peace, guess what? You’re the bad guys.

      Festival for peace

      Where is this coming from? This article mentions that CNN reported it but CNN just says “an all-night dance party, celebrating the Jewish holiday of Sukkot”

      The “it was a peace festival” seems to just be (not very good) propaganda to help drum up support for further Palestinian genocide.

      Edit: it seems that this was something CNN initially reported but retracted later. Damage already done, other articles are quoting CNN’s previous statement that it was a “festival for peace”

        In addition to its harvest roots, the holiday also holds spiritual importance with regard to its abandonment of materialism to focus on nationhood, spirituality, and hospitality

          That’s a reach and not a good one. An overnight dance festival on Sukkot and “a festival for peace” suggest very different things.

          Especially if “nationhood” is one of the things in this context.

            You may be misunderstanding the concept of “nation”

            a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.

            Jews everywhere perceive themselves as the same “nation” of Judaism

              That’s entirely fair. In any case though “a festival for peace” and an all night dance festival on a holiday still suggest hugely different things no matter how you dice it.

                Ok u win. I didn’t want to admit it, but I guess because it wasnt a festival for peace it’s no big deal

                Any theories on why ppl are getting all upset about this?

                Maybe they havent heard you explain that it wasnt quite a festival for peace they attacked but a slightly different kind of festival?

        These are international festivals. Their Facebook page is still up last time I checked which could be a deadly mistake. The announcements etc were mentioning it and there are people who blames them for finding a “f.cked up place” to set it.

        Oh, well if it was a Jewish dance party then they deserved to die.
