Yazidi Woman Rescued From Gaza

There are many charities that are focused on supporting women. I can't post links here because they are looking for donations. Women for women is one but there are many more. I know in Ireland the women's council would often organise protests around these issues, I'm sure there would be similar in UK.

What a goady unnecessary comment. No one has ever argued that Palestinians are all as white as snow, the world is cruel and there are many cruel evil people within it, including those that captured and held this child.

I hope she gets the support and privacy she will need to come to terms with this trauma.

If only there was a flag we could wave in support of women who are victims of Islamist regimes, eg Yazidis, Afghan women. They literally have no voice.

I did read about this woman, I'm still going to wave a Palestinian flag in support of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians suffering in this war

The media bias is extraordinary....

I’m quite sure there are and from other places too. Dubai was built on slavery and still runs on it. Disgusting

I don’t think the poster is lacking in compassion. I believe they’re responding to the comment above which suggested the IDF are on some sort of superhero mission to rescue the victims of disgusting crimes.

quite.

but still unable to rescue innocent civilians & hostages who’d you think would be much easier to find?

Exactly what @RoadSidePicnic said. They would be in no way be treated in the same way. The hostages are prizes and as we know they have been told to execute them if the IDF are close to reaching them. Hersch? Etc.

If you honestly think that you know nothing of this situation.

All the western liberals marching and waving Palestinian flags should read about this woman.

@Mercurial123 oh the mental gymnastics you must be doing? Eats people up when a happy story comes out of this situation doesn't it?

Nobody seems to organise marches in support of the Yazidi people. They don't seem to count. I've read some horrific stories of the selling of women..

I'm sure there are many secrets in Israel, too.

Maybe it’s all being worked on and we will hear more good news of more rescues.

Yes, I acknowledge the hostages would be difficult to find and rescue and the new information that the Yazidi woman escaped and then reached out means they never found her, she mostly rescued herself.

Still wondering about the trapped foreign citizens who are not Hamas or hostages.

I’d imagine a lot more will go unknown sadly.

That makes more sense than the media report.

That poor woman at the hands of those demons for 11 years. You cannot imagine the hell anyone held captive there must be going through. Evil

Oh yes, apologies - what @Vivi0 said.

I think others will be able to answer this better than I can, but isn’t it because Hamas, and the other Jihadi terrorist groups that have bought hostages off Hamas (like the Bibas boys and their mother), are going to such great lengths to keep the hostages hidden away, particularly in the terror to tunnels? As in, they are for the moment so far out of reach? This hurts my heart to write, but don’t the intelligence services believe that only 50% of the 101 hostages are still alive? Possibly less. Maybe not having that information is also complicating matters.

Apparently Sinwar is, or was, surrounding himself with 15 of the ones he thought were are most valuable in an attempt to save his rotten skin in a raid situation. They must be very hard to locate, to get to surely, for that reason?

Maybe because this poor woman was not seen as “valuable” (as in, they couldn’t use her as leverage) meant the Palestinians holding her were not that bothered about keeping her presence a secret. Hence it was a relatively straightforward operation to execute.

This isn’t what happened though.

When she managed to flee her captors, she was able to get in contact with Iraqi officials.

Iraqi officials had been in contact with the woman for months and passed on her information to U.S. officials, who arranged for her exit from Gaza with the help of Israel.

While I am really happy that she has been freed through US & IDF intelligence agencies and rescue, I have to wonder why they haven’t found & rescued more Israeli & other hostages (some are US and U.K.) or even rescued the US and U.K. citizens still trapped in Gaza that they know who they are and have been pleading for rescue too?

It seems really odd that they were able to find out the identity of a 21 yr old woman that disappeared in Iraq over ten years ago as a child slave, and then rescue her, but still unable to rescue innocent civilians & hostages who’d you think would be much easier to find? As we know all their identities.

What a heartbreaking thing to have happened to her and her children, especially the one who was taken to be adopted.

That was so difficult to read.

My youngest son is the same age as little Adam when Jovan had to hand him over to the orphanage - I can’t even imagine.

The damage and suffering inflicted upon this community by ISIS is inconceivable.

Pure evil.
