A 23-year-old German-Israeli woman who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival by Hamas militants on October 7 has been declared dead, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.

“We are devastated to share that the body of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani (Louk) was found and identified,” the ministry posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

A source involved with her identification told CNN Louk’s death was announced after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull.

People are conflating your observation with how you must actually feel. As if you're condoning the media spending time talking about a young attractive woman instead of all of the other victims.

I don't think that's it. Mentioning the Missing White Woman Syndrome in this context implies that we should not feel disgust or concern because we're only feeling that way because she's white.

The point of MWWS isn't that we should care less about white women, it's that we should care more about non-white women; it would be more apt trip being it up in the context of the brutalization and humiliation of a non white women about whom no one seems to give a shit.

As I've said in a few posts on this thread: the point of equality isn't to treat privileged people worse, it's to treat underprivileged people better.
