Shani Louk, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival during Hamas' October 7 terrorist attacks, has been confirmed dead, according to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
We have all seen the video of her broken body being paraded through Gaza and the people spitting on her. Hamas did that and they brought death and destruction to Gaza.
Hot take: this is only news because she's pretty. Where's the heart-breaking stories of the other thousands that have died? Were they too ugly to give a shit about?
I'm very saddened to hear about the death of this young woman. I'm also sad to hear about deaths of many, many Palestinians. I do not think it's coincidence that Hamas decides to launch a major offensive in the midst of talks with between Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations between the two after many years of relative peace. We can't have peace in the Middle East because it doesn't serve the ends to the major regional powers.
Both sides in this conflict are used as pawns for the political ends of others. Innocent people are those that get caught in the midst of it all. Hamas didn't do this without a green light so as much vitriol being spilled in this thread we have to take a step back. These fights have been brewing and going on for generations. If you take the short term view much of the strife we see today is the fallout from WWII and that is used as leverage by other nefarious parties.
It's not the Israeli people's fault they do not have a home.
It's not the Palestinian people's fault they do not have a home.
Some of the comments in this thread are sickening, hateful, narrow, and short-sighted.
Did they find the body to confirm the beheading. or is this the same story as the 40 beheaded babies propagandized by mass media.
Why the mess if one bullet could do a cleaner job. I don't think they have a fetish for beheading despite all other cruelties they can be capable of.
Edit: for those who are asking why I am talking about beheading rumors because NBC Titled its video with "Beheading" and refer to Israel's President saying: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ICR5ml2YPkI
You are all ridiculous with your dirty propaganda. "paraded, raped..." too big, like the story about beheaded babies.
So, Hamas would have the time and leisure to do that under intense fucking bombing and fighting. What a joke!
Israelis confirming every single jewish clichés that we heard on history channel about Nazi's vision on them!
Between, Yocheved Lifshitz, elderly recently freed has another story.
Has it been confirmed by mainstream news that she had dual citizenship? I've read but not verified that she was, and the I see the news is now acknowledging her as German-Israeli as opposed to just the German I saw in early reports.
