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.

It’s biased to ask for evidence?

[-] 1847953620@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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.

THe StANdARD of pROoF yOU’re rEqUEStIng is Too HiGh.

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.

"isn't a spokesperson of the Israeli state"

I guess media doesn't count. This is the canal through which your bs will continue. Have fun being irrelevant.

I don't care about your opinion unless you post some evidence contradicting me. I'm just asking for a single media source. Any third party who has verified this.

Just one.
