More than 600 Israelis have died and over 100 have been captured by Hamas, Israel says.
Shani Louk, the young woman whose naked body was seen in the back of a pick-up truck driven by Hamas fighters through Gaza, may have also been robbed, a report suggests.
The parents have not heard from their daughter since a phone call early on the morning of October 7, just after Hamas launched the first rockets into Israeli territory.
But in an interview with German news outlet Der Spiegel, the family said they had received information from her bank that the tattoo artist’s credit card had been used in Gaza.
Louk’s mother, Ricarda Louk, still holds out hope that her daughter might still be alive, saying in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, that she saw her daughter “unconscious in a car with Palestinians.”
“I just don’t want to admit it yet,” she told Der Spiegel.
So is the idea to parade this woman around through countless articles to justify the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?
So is the idea to abuse and kill civilians to justify oppression by Israel government?
This was a horrific act perpetrated by terrorists. It should not be taken as representative of Palestinians. Still, this will receive more coverage than any atrocity carried out against Palestinians by the IDF or settlers, both of which enjoy official support from the government of Israel. The bias is clear and that is what I wanted to point out.
Yeah it would help the image of Palestinians have they could take a pause from hating Israel and condemn Hamas for these acts. But unfortunately I don’t see that happening. I just see people attempting to justify the actions of Hamas by mindlessly saying “Israel Bad” over and over again.
I get that y’all are conditioned to say “Israel bad” anytime it’s mentioned (and sometimes when it isn’t). But you’re not exactly helping your cause by doing this immediately after terrorists commit horrific acts against Israelis. Kind makes you seem sympathetic to the terrorists.
What I’d like to see is Palestinians condemning Hamas and distancing themselves from the group. Just doesn’t seem to be happening though. What conclusion do you think people are going to draw from the fact this doesn’t seem to be happening? I’m seeing people so blinded by their hatred of Israel that they’re incapable of any kind of empathy for the victims of a terrorist attack.
You can literally find Palestinian diplomats on BBC and AL Jazeera doing exactly that while placing it in the wider context of the 50+ year occupation and the fact that Israel is still the bigger military force in this
Theres pointing out bias and theres making bad-faith accusations of motive with no basis
