The whataboutism in the comments is really appalling. Some of you are directly condoning the killing of all those civilians because „Israel had it coming“. If you are like that - you are a disgusting human being. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I think it's a very nuanced complex set of issues that no one on social media has a real grasp on... we are really only being shown so much from both sides... we can be against Hamas and Israel but be pro civilian... it's a nuanced, challenging issue, that takes a lot of intellect and understanding that there is no good guy, bad guy in this. Both governments suck here, not the victims dying at their hands.
It shouldn't be all that hard to simply denounce a terrorist group that rapes and murders.
But many people (who claim to be on the left) are reacting to this this in the exact same way that the alt-right reacts to a mass shooting. "It's the media's fault! It's complicated, you just don't understand!" Everything except denouncing the act and those behind it.
It seems people are struggling to accept they were supporting some very horrible people and were wrong to do so.
Not sure if the robbing makes the story that much worse. I feel the assault, murder and public display far outweigh the money.
Yep. The people who did this are animals.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Shani Louk, the young woman whose naked body was seen in the back of a pick-up truck driven by Hamas fighters through Gaza, may have also been robbed, a report suggests.
The parents have not heard from their daughter since a phone call early on the morning of October 7, just after Hamas launched the first rockets into Israeli territory.
But in an interview with German news outlet Der Spiegel, the family said they had received information from her bank that the tattoo artist's credit card had been used in Gaza.
A video of a young woman with dreadlocks on the back of a pickup truck surrounded by Hamas soldiers started circulating on social media shortly after the attack.
Another video circulating on social media shows the moment an Israeli woman begged for her life as she was separated from her partner and driven away by Hamas fighters into Gaza.
Women, children, and senior citizens are believed to be among at least 100 Israelis captured and held hostage by Hamas following the Palestinian militant group's surprise wave of attacks.
