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.
It must be lovely to have such a simplistic world view. I wish I was as sure about anything as you are about this notoriously complicated subject.
How is killing parents in front of their children, kidnaping these children, filming yourself with said children crying and showing them as trophies , crashing a festival and murdering over 200 participants a complicated subject ?
Maybe think about reconsidering your own views of if the world if you support these acts.
it’s almost like the entire region is nothing but two sides led by religious radicals who believe that it is their task to purge the other side.
there are plenty of cases where anti-arab terrorist did similar, often but not always as part of the military, one of who is the current Israeli minister of internal security.
With the exception of the festival attack you could just as easily be describing the IDF. Hamas and the IDF are evil.
Did I say I support them? I just said speaking out it as good v evil, black v white is simplistic. Do you disagree?

The person I was responding to called hamas evil. You called hamas evil. The cognitive dissonance is strong in you.

Saying someone is acting evil and calling an entire group evil, regardless of actions, are two different things. Equating them to make your position stronger is a transparent attempt to sidestep the point.

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.”
No, but you’re defending them. What makes them different really than any mass killers trying to get what they want through violence?
You’ve gotta be one of those people that are just mad at society and want to lash out, seeing that anyone that doesn’t agree with you must be punished.
There’s no way you would go out of your way for any other reason. You need therapy.
I’m defending them because the world has thrown them away and they don’t have a propaganda arm of their government to sway public opinion. Without people like me speaking to the struggle and humanity of the Palestinians they become otherized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_(philosophy)
Hamas is evil, they’re a literal terrorist organization that uses fear and violence as their primary tools and methods. The situation Hamas operates in is absolutely nuanced but saying a terrorist organization is evil and supporting a terrorist organization makes you complicit in supporting evil is not an indicator of a simplistic world view, it’s stating an objective fact. If anything you’re the one expressing a simplistic worldview by ignoring the obvious truths of the situation and its various pieces in favor of obfuscating the parts of the situation that are self evident and clear.
You just hand waved a bunch of shit and replied with “No You.” This position holds no water.
Idk man, they remind me of Hezbolla. Terrorist organization with social programs. They wanted the destruction of Israel and on multiple occasions used the phrase “exterminate the Jews”.
Hamas is an evil organization, by evil I mean genocide, apartheid, terror, and fear being their governing styles. They’re just less successful at their genocide than China is.
I don’t know what to tell you, but not Hamas or the Israeli government are interested in peace, in fact many members of the current government were anti-arab terrorists beforehand, and now some guy who got his kicks murdering Muslims in mosques, and praising soldiers who openly execute children as heroes is in charge of the police, and a “settler”(see imperial expansion) in charge of the military, and of course the “Palestinians aren’t even people” PM they have.
this is what racism and ethnostate bullshit brings
That’s well put, and I couldn’t agree more.
supporters of Hamas or the Israeli government got mad
But they have no power. They are in a glorified prison and that prison keeps getting smaller. They want to exterminate the people keeping them in that prison. How on earth does that make them anything like one of the 2 most powerful countries in the world trying to make a genetically homogeneous china?
Israel unilaterally left gaza around 20 years ago.
Damn they should leave the rest of Palestine next
I’ve given you as much of a response as your comment was worth. Have a good day.
Heaven forbid you examine yourself. I can have good day because my country has a military and government to protect my human rights. I’m sure yours does too. Palestinians don’t. The only thing they have left to fight for their own humanity is terrorism. But that’s not simple, so lets just call them evil.
I’d suggest taking your own advice, buddy.
I did and it turns out Geopolitics is just as simple as Trump says! Thanks for setting me straight, I thought that a thousand year conflict was complicated but if I just call one side evil it gets so much simpler. Thank you so much, buddy.
The purpose of using more words than ‘no you’ is expressed in the comment.
Ends justify the means sort of thing?
Who are you responding to? Because this makes no sense as a response to me.
You seemed to be implying Hamas isn’t black and white terrible. I was wondering if you thought that because their bad means (terrorism and corpse defiling) are justified by their good (or grey) cause.
Well aren’t you just a sensationalist. I think its not black and white due to the humanitarian atrocities perpetuated on the palestinian people by the israeli government and its people. These are the chickens coming home to roost. When we see videos of bullies getting their comeuppance on the internet its always cheering for the little guy, but as soon as that bully is a country you support it seems a lot of people on the internet put their blinders on.
No I don’t cheer for the little guy getting their comeuppance, especially when the ‘little guy’ it is just taking their rage out against bystanders. Would you agree that rape, murder, and defiling corpses, especially for the purpose of terrifying other people is bad? No matter what the end/cause?
It is, now, black and white because Hamas made it so . They went way of deviant-psychos to make sure no one can doubt they are the scum.
They could have e.g. ask for international help, go public etc. They choose to cause suffering so they don’t want to improve their living conditions they want to worsen them for others.
