Israel Frees Yazidi Girl From Sex Slavery in Gaza

I came across this article today in a Dutch Jewish site called, Nieuw Israelistisch Weekblad (New Israeli Weekly). It is about an 11-year-old  Yazidi girl who was kidnapped by ISIS in Iraq in 2014 and sold to a Palestinian terrorist as a sex slave. Eventually, she would up in Gaza, a prisoner of the man’s family after he had been killed in an air strike,. Thanks to the efforts of a Jewish businessman from Canada named Steven Maman, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israel intelligence services, and the Israeli Defense Forces, this young woman has been freed and reunited with her family in Iraq. 

The below article from Nieuw Israelistisch Weekblad is translated from Dutch by Fousesquawk. Note that the article has a link to an article by the Jerusalem Post reporting on the young woman’s tragic plight. (in English).

I hope the reader will keep this in mind when you see images of pro-Hamas demonstrators in our streets and on our campuses.

Caption: Fawzia reunites with her family in Iraq

Fawzia Amin Sido was 11 years old when in 2014, she was kidnapped by Muslim terrorists of ISIS in Sinjar (northern Iraq) and sold to a Palestinian terrorist. Now she is back with her family. The driving forces behind her liberation: A Jewish businessman, the Israeli government, the intelligence services, and, of course, the Israeli Defense forces. 

After Fawzia was sold from Raqqa, Syria to a Hamas-affiliated Palestinian child rapist from Gaza, for ten years she was abused and humiliated. In 2020, she landed in Gaza after a 4-year wandering  in Turkey and Egypt. Her “husband” was killed in the meantime, but Fawzia and her two small children further suffered under the treatment of the Palestinians in Gaza.

Maman convinced Premier Netanyahu of the importance of a rescue operation.

After the IDF killed one of the members of the “in-laws”-another Hamas terrorist- at the end of last year in an air strike, Fawzia , managed to flee. She found shelter in a safe house in the Gaza Strip that was run by the organization of the Moroccan-born Canadian Jewish businessman Steven Maman. Nicknamed the “Jewish Schindler”, he has dedicated himself for years to the freeing of thousands of Christians and Yazidis kidnapped by Muslims.

Maman convinced Premier Netanyahu of the moral importance of a rescue operation. And while there are still about 100 Israeli hostages held in Gaza, of whom probably only half are alive. In any case, Fawzia is now reunited with her family in northern Iraq. More on her situation, including in her own words, and the work of Steven Maman, you can read here in the Jerusalem Post.
