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.

As fucked as Israel treats many in the strip, you don’t see crowds of civilians joining in to rape women or spit on the corpses of Innocents
Because it’s possible not to when you have access to water and, generally, the basic necessities of life. Live under constant oppression, though? Moral systems cease to apply, instinct takes over, and baseline human nature is metal.
Suppose you corner a cat. Would you blame her if you get scratched? Same shit, grander scale. Don’t push people to desperation and fascist orgs like Hamas wouldn’t have the support they have.
Native Americans did fuck people up. They weren’t innocent, they fought back and when the colonizers started mutilating people’s corpses they retaliated in kind. There is no perfect victim.
There is no perfect victim.
The indians who followed Mahatma Gandhi.
The african americans who followed Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m sure there were some bad apples in both of those groups, but a majority of them achieved their goals via peaceful means. The majority of palestinians are assholes.
The majority of palestinians are assholes.
Yeah, that’s totally unbiased and sensical. /s
Ok, yeah, you’re right, I should have sourced that. Here you go: https://coopwb.in/info/how-many-palestinians-support-hamas/
A noteworthy survey from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) unveiled that 58% in Gaza and 42% in the West Bank favor Hamas. Intriguingly, younger Palestinians and Gaza residents displayed stronger support, especially those viewing Hamas as Palestine’s ideal representative and resistor against Israel.
Those are the stats from 2021. Yes, so what about the other 50%? Do you think there is a bit more complication going into supporting Hamas? Or does that conclusion lead you to “they are assholes”? My question is, how? Walk me through your reasoning.
Yes, I’m sure that they have reasons to be assholes, but if we go into that, we cannot really call anyone an asshole, because every asshole’s assholiness is based on previous events.
Yes, I’m sure that they have reasons to be assholes,
Is apartheid a good enough reason, in your opinion?
Also, what would your reaction be if I said something like The majority of Jewish people are assholes? And then to prove it, what if I just linked to this survey from B’Tselem that states:
An interesting finding shows only tepid support for the Nation State Basic Law that establishes Jewish supremacy as a constitutional principle, a law that was enacted with broad political support from most of the Zionist parties:
- Over one third of all Israelis support repealing the Nation State law (36% of all Israelis, and 29% of Jews).
- Only 46% of Israelis (53% of Jews) support keeping the law as is (the remainder take no position).
These numbers show that only one-third of Jewish people residing in Israel or in the occupied territories believe that this Jewish supremacy law should be removed.
So at this point, is it useful in any way or even descriptive of the situation at hand to say The majority of Jewish people are assholes? Is it acceptable? Is it racist?
I think there is a lot of misuse of statistics being done here. No single survey can show us the truth accurately, but surveys and statistics can only bring us closer to understanding the big picture.
Saying things like *The majority of Palestinians are assholes" makes you come off as a one-dimensional character with cartoon reasoning.
The majority of Jewish people are assholes?
Majority of Isrealis, you mean? That might be true as well.
I’m wondering if you’d read this: https://www.btselem.org/press_releases/2021413_new_all_population_israeli_palestinian_survey
What do you think of these? I think it’s a much better analysis of public opinion among Jewish and Palestinian residents.
That’s like saying “the Palestinians who aren’t Hamas”. MLK himself said that his movement benefited greatly because people were forced to pay attention to it. If it could have been ignored then it probably would have been, but it presented an alternative to the more violent and terroristic solutions to racism presented by some of MLK’s contemporaries, so even there you can’t separate out that movement from the context and expect it to stand alone.
Also i hear shit like “the majority of black people are assholes” from racist fuckers all the time so this post is giving me kinda mixed messages.
You’re stripping context away. This is all you anti-Palestinians, pro-Zionists do to push your genocidal views.
Here’s the difference. As fucked as Israel treats many in the strip, you don’t see crowds of civilians joining in to rape women or spit on the corpses of Innocents. You see soldiers do fucked things sure but the average person isn’t involved.
The shit that Hamas just did? Streets filled with people joining in and celebrating women being paraded around. You see civilians jumping into the truck with them to rape them. You see celebrations all around the world about this.
There’s no proof or evidence of any rape happening. This is just you making the assumption that since women are taken, they must have been raped by these savage Palestinians. This is pure, unadulterated racism. Sure, it could have happened and it could be happening, but there’s literally no proof of it anywhere. You’re literally just making shit up because you’re racist.
You know what you’ve never talked about or thought of in your life? The decades long documented torture and raping campaign of Palestinians by Israel never mind all the tens of thousands of dead Palestinians. None of this makes you bat an eye.
On top of this, most countries don’t even want Palestinians because of how fucked they are. Look what happened in Egypt when they accepted them. They don’t anymore for a reason.
What you’re saying is just a straight up lie backed up with nothing.
I don’t know why you think racism against Palestinians is okay. This is literally identical to every other genocidal campaign throughout history. “These other people are savages and ‘fucked’ and can’t be civil, therefore, it’s okay to treat them the way they are treated.”
They absolutely deserve what is coming to them. Israel is still doing roof knocks to warn Innocents and they absolutely shouldn’t at this point.
There’s no difference between you and the people after 9/11 thinking we should nuke the entire Middle East into oblivion. You’re the same person. Very stupid, very emotional. We’re all glad the only power you have over anyone is yourself. You’re an unhinged nutjob.
Need a modern day crusade to clean that country out of these people who believe that it’s acceptable to rape and kill old people.
So everyone in every Western military and government too? Or that doesn’t count because it’s acceptable when they do it.
There is actually a very ironic colonial theme to his comment.
Without evidence, Native Americans were blamed for taking and raping white women. It was often used to swing civilian view and stage attacks to displace or kill them.
Then he goes full genocide in his last sentence. Found the Tankie I guess.
