Yazidi Woman Rescued From Gaza

Oh, this is horrendous.

I can’t imagine her suffering - especially if she has had to leave children behind with her rapist’s family.

Yes, beyond every nightmare.

Yeah, I read that a yazidi is only considered a yazidi if both parents are. It’s a horrifying choice to make especially when your children are the product of rape. I imagine as well there is an element of stigma around what happened to amlot of these poor girls/women. It’s abhorrent, utterly abhorrent.

This is what I read. It's heart breaking A Yazidi mother's heart-breaking choice (bbc.co.uk)

It's great that she has been rescued and returned to her family . I wonder what has happened to her children?
I watched a documentary about Yazidi women being forced to abandon their children (with ISIS fathers) if they wanted to return home. So some didn't choose to go home, others had to give up their children and leave them behind.

I am sure I read her original captor returned to Syria and was killed. She was continually held by his family- civilians in Gaza and continued to be kept as a slave.
Strange that. And how we seen hostages left with civilians who continue to keep them captured with no compunction or desire to hand them over.

She’s been a slave since she was 11. Have some compassion, it’s ok to centre the victim of a crime, and this crime is slavery and the rape of a child.

It’s appalling, that mans family and friends knew what he had done, they must have done.

I’m glad she’s free, she was just a little girl when she was taken, I can’t imagine what she’s gone through.

Imagine, she was just eleven. This hardly bears thinking about. Pray that she can get back peace and a good life with her family. I remember at the time how terrible it was with ISIS capturing Yazidi girls. It is good Iraq is trying to get them back. It must be very difficult.

The Yezidi genocide is one of the great tragedies of our time - I remember it so clearly. How wonderful that this woman had been reunited with her family.

Agreed. The Yazidis have been disappeared. I imagine there are a lot of them enslaved in plain sight in the Gulf states as well.

Literally no one.

But rabid terrorist defenders will continue to defend terrorists.

Who's said that?

Stop using this poor woman as a reason to say it is fine to start wars. If modern slavery is a reason to invade then we better expect to be bombed in UK soon. Shakira Spencer, the victims of the Rooney family, the people convicted just this week of trafficking people from Czech Republic to work in McDonald's.

The middle east situation is extremely complex and I am not getting into the rights and wrongs of it all here. But don't pretend any of it has to do with rescuing one victim from an awful situation. Without the other stuff, they would have left her to it.

Poor, poor lady.

It makes me wonder what other dirty secrets the Israeli's will find in Gaza and Lebanon.

Wow, oh my god. That poor woman.

She’s been held captive in Gaza for 10 years!
Forced into marriage with a Palestinian ISIS fighter when she was just 11 years old, enduring years of abuse and torture at the hands of her husband's family, far from her own. Just heartbreaking.

This rescue mission highlights the IDF's efforts in combating terrorism and rescuing victims.

Bring all the captives in Gaza home now 🎗️
