parades their naked bodies through the streets

Is there a video or picture of this? This claim is repeated everywhere I look, but if you mean the short video of the corpse of that German-Israeli woman, she's not naked.

In online media, they keep referring to her only as "German", which I think isn't entirely a coincidence. One article I've found about this but am too lazy to dig up right now did mention after multiple paragraphs that not only is she in fact a dual German-Israeli citizen but had in fact lived in Israel for 6 years. Some X post also claimed she's actually an IDF reservist, but I'm not sure.

When I was browsing 4chan I've seen images of Hamas soldiers showing off a dead girl with only underpants on. No links though.

If you want to quibble that it's technically not fully nude be my guest, but that's about as convincing to me as "well it wasn't rape bc she was already dead".

It's not 'technically not fully nude', just normal not nude, complete with something on her back that looks like a strap of a top. From what I've seen it's not really clear she was stripped of anything at all.

I don't know what you think I'm trying to convince you of, seeing falsehoods repeated irks me, that's my angle here.

I saw one of a live woman with blood and shit on the rear of her trousers being paraded before she was loaded into a truck. I leave it to the viewer to decide if she's been gangraped or developed an untimely attack of anal fissuring.

Clearly, it was a burrito. It's the sacrifice you have to make to eat something so delicious.

Yes, I saw that one, too. Not very nice either.
