Shani Louk, say her name.

 Yesterday was October 7th, the third anniversary of the Palestinian terrorist attack on Israel. It seems that universities around the country have been having little pro-Palestine vigils, where they try to pretend this was in some way a justified act of  brave freedom fighters.

Today let's remember what those terrorists actually did, and took video of themselves doing, and posted it proudly on the internet. Remember that?

Shani Louk 2001-2023

The one that stood out to me as particularly unforgivable is the death of Shani Louk. This 22 year old girl's crime was attending a dance festival. For that they murdered her in a particularly horrible way, and then stole her corpse to torture her family and friends with uncertainty.

Wikipedia says:

 

At the end of the month, Israel confirmed Louk's death based on the discovery of a skull fragment on the road leading out of the festival grounds, indicating that she was killed during the attack, while trying to escape.[5][6] On 17 May 2024 Israeli forces recovered her body from a tunnel in Gaza, and she was buried in her hometown of Srigim a couple of days later.[7]

 So the next time some astroturf agitator waves their Arab headscarf in your face and cries about Palestine, remember Shani.
