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.

This is a big doubt. "Unnamed Palestinian sources" = Hamas propagandism.

We have all seen the video where Hamas proudly showcases her mangled lifeless body.

Wishful thinking from that poor mom who is being used to turn the narrative for Hamas when they realized Shani Louk was a german citizen.

I don't know what would be worse. If they did that grotesque parade with her corpse, or with her alive but in critical condition.

God. This is so unbelievably fucked up. I think I'd call it unrealistic, gratuitous violence if it happened in a fictional story.

I really have no other words. I had a history teacher who said that there was nothing more dangerous than a zealot. He was all too right.

I'm curious how an unconscious girl ended up in the hospital after being "paraded around in critical condition". Any chance that was just the worlds most beat down ambulance?

With the world's worst EMTs to boot.

Something in the story just doesn't make sense.

Much like people mobbing Gucci stores because they are starving for some bread, people will rationalize anything.

Good luck paying your landlord in bread

I have no idea what the fuck you're trying to say but it sounds like right wing bullshit.

Fyi - the EU isn't stopping aid for Palestine, it was a comment made by an official that cannot unilaterally decide on this and other EU states are against it.
