The mother of Shani Louk, a 22-year-old German national believed to have been kidnapped by Hamas fighters during the militant group’s surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, said on Tuesday that her daughter is alive.
Louk, a tattoo artist, was attending the Tribe of Nova music festival in the plains of the Negev Desert near Urim, close to the Gaza Strip, on Saturday when Hamas fighters stormed the event. She’s believed to have been seized by the militants and paraded through the streets in the back of a pick-up.
…
On Tuesday, Louk’s family announced they had proof that Louk—who grew up in Israel—was alive. German news website Blick reported that her mother said she was in a hospital in Gaza with serious head injuries.
“We now have more information that Shani is alive,” her mother told television channel NTV, adding she received the information from unnamed Palestinian sources.
The mother added that Louk is seriously injured, and asked the German government for help and quick action.
Let’s slow the fuck up and wait for some facts to come out. An hour ago this girl was being touted as basically a martyr
So, facts came out. People were raped, killed, and/or captured.
This was the girl everyone was saying was raped and murdered. No reputable news publication has confirmed that she was raped and she is now confirmed alive.
So slow the fuck up.
She’s not the only one that was there. There were other people there that were murdered and other people there that were raped. Just because one was spared from that fate doesn’t mean it didn’t happen to others.
Again no reputable news publication has reported rape. It’s is a very common racist dog whistle to accuse Muslims of rape so I’m asking you not to until you have confirmed evidence.
It is very possible there were rapes committed but it’s disgusting to lie about it to justify stealing Palestinian land and killing Palestinian people.
Edit: wild, 40 downvotes and NOT A SINGLE SOURCE.
Is it being racist, or just assuming that terrorists are bad?
Because, and I’m sorry if this is controversial, but terrorists are bad.
Israel is doing settler terrorism but I don’t see anyone accusing them of rape. So the distinction you’re making is about them being Muslim
If white supremacists launched an attack and kidnapped people, then I wouldn’t be calling racism over rape accusations.
These people are animals because of their actions, not their skin colour.
Animals? Hmmmm the whistle is getting louder
Actually…
The IDF does have a rape problem.
Soldiers who rape Palestinian civilians are theoretically punished, but enforcement can be hit or miss.
No the distinction is there is evidence that suggested these Hamas soldier raped people.
Then post it! It’s been 5 hours. What are you waiting for?
Give me one reputable news publication that claims to have confirmed this from a victim and not just heard about it second hand
How do you feel about the video of her being pulled out of the back of the truck with blood all over her crotch area?
I know that people were saying she was dead because of that footage. But she’s not and that is confirmed.
Now can you please wait on the racist rape accusations until there is a single shred of evidence besides woman-at-scene-of-massacre-has-blood-on-her-in-photo?
In the meantime you should think about the fact that Israel is cutting off power to that hospital.
Not sure why you assume I am supporting either side of this conflict, because I’m not.
Lol “racist.” There’s a lot of footage and documentation of them raping during the attack, it’s not racist to see a video of a woman with blood all over her crotch area and make the connection that they raped her along with all the other civilians they raped.
In the meantime you should think about why you are defending rape, beheading of children, and massacre of innocent civilians.
It’s been hours and no one has posted proof.
It is racist to insist Muslims are rapists without evidence

That was a different woman, but the video definitely proves they are raping hostages.
Someone has some biases
It’s biased to ask for evidence?
It’s biased to demand evidence when there’s enough evidence out there already, and to be so sensitive to a single commonality you have with them (culture) that it clouds objectivity.
Hamas and IDF have both long documented histories of war crimes, why is it hard to believe the most aggressive attack in recent times would have those components?
The standard of proof you’re requesting is what betrays your bias. Nobody so far has wanted to waste their time googling things for you because they know it’s likely gonna be an exercise in self-inflicted torture to try to change your mind when a bias is this prominent.
All I’m asking for is that someone who isn’t a spokesperson of the Israeli state to talk to a single victim and confirm.
lmao this is an amazing response
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_sexual_assault_in_Egypt
Didn’t even take 5 minutes for someone to shift the goalposts. Fuck off
How did that shift the goalposts? You said it was a racist dog whistle. It appears to be very true in Egypt.
Now you’re just straight up being racist
There are videos of woman captives with bloody crotches. It doesn’t take a doctorate in medicine to figure out the rapists were raping people.
Ohh wow you saw a video online that you have no way to verify the veracity of? Well case closed then Sherlock 🙄
Are you suggesting someone made a fake video featuring someone who looked like the woman in the article? Are you a clown by trade or just on lemmy?
You are very clearly not following the news then.
