This is a German national named Shani Louk who has absolutely nothing to do with this conflict at all. So much so that she was in Israel on October 7th to attend a PEACE concert. Hamas kidnapped her, probably did unspeakable things to her, killed her, and paraded her naked body through the streets on the back of a truck. We know this because we have identified her corpse by her tattoos (I have photos, I won't show them.)
I don't really care who started this war or who did what to whom. Butchering innocent people is wrong and it harms your cause. Israel will now rain down fire upon Gaza and it'll have the moral high ground based purely on acts such as these. I've heard some people say that the Oct 7th attacks was Israels 9/11 moment and I agree. Because whatever America may or may not have done in the Middle East, Al Qaeda effed with innocents on too grand a scale to be ignored and its the same here.
On a personal note, acts such as these... well, its hard to keep up faith in humanity sometimes that's all i'm saying. You kind of hope that men who could do this to such a person are insane. But they're not. You kind of hope that those old stories of rape and pillage from thousands of years ago were almost a different breed of humanity. That we've evolved. But we haven't. And that is the truly scary thing. In many ways, humans are the same animals we were ten thousand years ago, only now we have better ways to kill and to hurt. Many of us who live in the West who have hot coffee on tap and air conditioning are so removed from the monsters crying out in the dark that its almost sad.
