Israeli authorities have confirmed the death of Shani Louk, a 23-year-old Israeli-German woman who was taken by Hamas militants during an attack on the Supernova music festival on Oct. 7.
According to the BBC, Louk’s death was confirmed after investigators matched her DNA with a sample taken from a skull bone fragment. It’s not yet clear where or when the skull fragment was found. Louk’s body also hasn’t been located yet.
As such, an exact cause of death hasn’t been officially determined. Speaking with the German TV news channel RTL/ntv, Louk’s mother, Ricarda, said she believed her daughter may have been shot in the head during the attack. “At least she didn’t suffer,” Ricarda said.
On Twitter, the Israel Foreign Ministry said, “We are devastated to share that the death of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani Luk was confirmed. Shani who was kidnapped from a music festival and tortured and paraded around Gaza by Hamas terrorists, experienced unfathomable horrors. Our hearts are broken. May her memory be a blessing.”
The source you provided states 3324 children have died and another 1000 missing since Oct 7. Not “3000 killed every day”, as you claimed.
Those numbers are still horrifying, but should not be used to belittle cruelty of terrorism. Whataboutism is futile.
“only 3000 in total” holy fuck dude
That’s not what the other person said, and misusing quotes like that on a serious topic like this is egregiously disingenuous. If that was your takeaway, then you really ought to take a step back, take a deep breath, and recollect yourself before commenting again, because you’re really missing the mark here.
Look, if you’re upset that a pretty white girl is getting a disproportionate amount of media attention, then just say that. That’s a valid criticism of the news cycle. Maybe you could make a commentary about “Missing white woman syndrome” or something. But to make comparisons over which terrorist organization is a worse terrorist organization than the other is just asinine. The IDF and Hamas are both terrorist groups, it doesn’t matter which one has killed more children; they’re both killing children. Neither side is worth defending, they’re both inhumane groups killing each other’s and their own innocents.
Arguing in bad faith like this will only get rubes to follow you… Oh, wait, that’s exactly what you and the tankies on Hexbear are trying to do.
I’m curious, do you consider the IDF to be terrorists?
