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.

    I believe your instance has hexbear blocked. They were all over the top of /All yesterday celebrating these attacks and being generally immature. I even saw one post wishing Bernie Sanders was dead after he released a statement condemning the attacks.

      I don’t understand why some instances keep being federated with them.

      Actually seems like lemmy.world is linked to hexbear.

      I was wrong, they are not linked.

        Maybe you just weren’t as active then, or not subscribed to the most active communities. I wasn’t too active over the weekend and here’s how I’m finding out

        Not really. The two instances that aren’t on the blocked list don’t actually point to real domains. And if they are managing to sneak through lemmy.world, somebody should let the admins know about it.

          Aha! I only checked on lemmy.world itself but didn’t inspect the instance closely, it just had the same name.
