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.

    Please stop trying to inflame resentment against the Palestinians.

    This is precisely why we must condemn Hamas and anyone who cheers for this video. These bastards don’t represent the Palestinians. That needs to be made crystal clear. They do all these horrific acts in the name of Palestine, then hide in mosques and hospitals – so that if anyone tries to kill them, they’ll kill the innocent people too.

    No one can inflame resentment against Palestinians more than Hamas has already done. They’ve chosen to damn innocent Palestinians and take them hostage, by butchering innocent Israelis and taking them hostage.

    If you support freedom for the Palestinian people, you must also support the swift end of Hamas. Otherwise you’re just trying to hurt Israelis and don’t give a shit about what happens to Palestinians.

      Well, that’s just nonsense. Hamas was democratically elected. Furthermore, the only Palestinian representation that Israel and its apologists will accept is one that puts Palestinian interests second.
