In a recent pro-Israel rally in Times Square, Nissim Louk, the father of Hamas victim Shani Louk, stated that the photograph of terrorists parading her lifeless body highlights the “darkness” Israel is fighting against. He described the before-and-after photos of his daughter as a stark contrast between her bright, joyful life and the militant violence that ultimately took her away. Louk emphasized that Shani represented the light of the Jewish people, while the terrorists symbolized darkness, bringing pain and suffering to the world.
Nissim defended the decision to award the photographer who captured the moment of his daughter’s body being paraded by Hamas, saying it is one of the most important photos in the last 50 years. He believes that such images shape human memory and symbolize significant eras in history.
Initially, it was believed that Shani survived the attack by Hamas, but her decapitated head was found several days after her abduction. The powerful statement made by Nissim Louk at the rally serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, shedding light on the tragic consequences of violence and terrorism.
