Yazidi Woman Rescued From Gaza

[rumblegrumble]

She was kidnapped when she was eleven years old, and has been enslaved for the last ten years.

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

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.

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

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

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..

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

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

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.

quite.

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.

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

The media bias is extraordinary....

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

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.

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.

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.

The Yasidi genocide. Didn't really get discussed on mumsnet much.

Very sad, I've read a lovely people. What the Islamic extremists did to those poor people.

Thanks. I was so horrified at the latest misogynistic crimes in Afghanistan, I did look up how to help and support. That women are literally not allowed to speak in public I found shocking, and worse - the lack of outrage.
I've been in touch with a couple of organisations.
I will similarly investigate how to support any Yazidi women.

Obviously the rape and kidnap of Yazidi women was well publicised but I had no idea that many had to reject their children upon return to their communities. That story is heartbreaking. To think that woman was actually happier while she was enslaved because her family was kept together. The suffering of thousands of women and children because of the actions of stupid evil men. All across the region.

It's obvious the angle of the thread is to put Israel in a better light and justify the genocide by cherry picking news. I still support Palestine and Lebanon against Israel. Nothing justifies Israel's actions, nothing could make me accept Israel's actions and thankfully many are of my view, too.

All across the region
All across the world 😓

If you truly supported the innocent Palestinians and Lebanese caught up in these awful wars, then you'd be supporting Isreal to free those people from the fanatical terrorists oppressing them, Hamas and Hezbollah. It's quite difficult to understand how we're a year into this conflict and you still don't understand the basics.

Appalling treatment of women and other minorities, it is good that these stories are being told and people now what attributing have been committed.

Oh, “stranded”… Just like that time when our flights were cancelled on our way back home from our holiday in Spain? Can totally relate to that!
Incredible wording 🤦‍♀️

Difficult to accept that over 14,000 children have to be killed, thousands more injured, displaced, starved, dying from diseases and orphaned to save them! Let's not pretend any of this is to free Palestinians from Hamas. I have never once heard Netanyahu claim that was his ultimate aim.
