The body of the German-Israeli tattoo artist Shani Louk, clad only in her underwear, was paraded through the streets of Gaza by Hamas.

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.

    Black South Africans practiced necklacing, but still received lots of support. Would you not have supported the struggle against apartheid in South Africa?

      One can support the ending of apartheid without condoning murder.

        And yet you likely wouldn’t have gotten one without the other.

          This is simply not historically accurate. Without foreign nations pulling support for apartheid and switching to sanctions, apartheid would never have ended

        You can’t support the ending of apartheid without supporting the ending of apartheid.

        We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence ‘‘by any means necessary’’.

          The most significant factor in the end of apartheid was foreign sanctions. These murders were similarly unjustifiable and indefensible to the Hamas attacks

            I take it then that you are a firm supporter BDS despite Hamas’s alleged excesses. I don’t know how the foreign sanctions against South Africa would have happened without a militant domestic struggle, but foreign sanctions aren’t strictly necessary anyway. Afaik, there were no significant sanctions against the UK leading up to the Good Friday Agreement, for example.
