Whereas many feminists obscure the plight of women and girls in the Islamic world, a haredi group is rescuing Jewish women and children.
Every few months, we are presented with media reports about Jewish women rescued from their Muslim husbands in the Palestinian Authority or within Israel.
The stories are always similar. The women were tortured by their husbands, often locked in their homes or under constant guard by members of their husbands’ families. Either with or without the help of their Jewish families, they reached out to Yad L’Achim which rescues Jewish women and their children from Muslim husbands. Yad L’Achim volunteers plan and carry out often dangerous rescue operations and bring these women and their children to safety.
In January, Channel 10 presented live footage of one such rescue. Viewers saw relatives of a mother of four named Dana waiting anxiously at the Erez checkpoint as she and her children fled her husband and his family in Gaza and took their first steps of freedom.
During their courtship, Dana’s husband showed her every courtesy. After their marriage, he began regularly beating her and kept her under around the clock surveillance. A visit to Yad L’Achim’s website makes clear that her story is anything but unique.

“Jewish women rescued from their Muslim husbands” sigh...
I have empathy for these women, sometimes love is blind, especially when talking about young people.

One FReeper said that "Islam is like a prison". I wish I could remember that poster's name so I could give due credit. It stuck with me however.
Look at the words used; "dangerous rescue operations".
They are war terms. It seems that anything associated with Islam is conflict.
Proof positive that too many women are desperate to marry ANYBODY!!!!!
You marry a muslim, ESPECIALLY if you are a Jew, you kind of have it coming. You should know better.
“I have empathy for these women, sometimes love is blind, especially when talking about young people.”
In this case, love wasn’t blind it was retarded.
“we are presented with media reports about Jewish women rescued from their Muslim husbands “
If you are dumb enough to put your hand in the fire, why should anyone care?
Why Dhimmis marriage these swine, given their proven track record of abusing females is beyond stupid.
we are presented with media reports about Jewish women rescued from their Muslim husbands
This BEYOND stupid!! Why would any Dhimmi marry one of these pigs, given their track record for abusing women (and men, and children, and animals too.)
I still have empathy for them, even though they are making a very poor decision.
If you had a daughter who wanted to marry a man against your wishes, and you knew he was a real jerk, what would you do? I doubt you would ditch her, and would not stop loving her.
True, but Muslim men can be incredibly charming. They are courtly, romantic, poetic, gracious; they listen so carefully and seem so devoted. They know exactly what to say and do to win a woman’s heart. If I had not read dozens of stories like this, I might well have been taken in by some of them myself when I was younger.
You must understand that there is a very, very old tradition of exquisite Persian love poetry, and some educated Muslim men are familiar with it so they know how to use words and concepts from it. They are quite as enchanting to a romance-starved American woman as Brazilian and Argentine men, but the South American men are only dangerous to her heart, while the Muslim men can sometimes break her body.
That said, we do have a couple in our neighborhood consisting of a Lebanese Arab man and an American Christian wife. They’ve been very happy together for many years and she clearly takes no crap from him (nor does he offer any).
If my daughter said she wanted to marry a muslim, I would ask her if the lobotomy was painful.
I thought you would say something about cleaning a shotgun when you met him.
Maybe loading one.
You have to remember one thing Grunthor. We’re men, and we think differently than women. Read ottbmare’s post #10.
LOL. Good one.
Fortunately I’ve raised my own daughter so that she wouldn’t even dream of dating, much less marrying, a Muslim. I’m just trying to explain the mind-set of some impressionable and naive woman and how these men manage to catch them.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

You’ve made a brilliant point. 30 years ago, when I was a young woman, I was sitting in a sandwich bar in Italy next to an obviously middle-eastern man. He was extremely magnetic and obviously wanted to get to know me. Finally, I decided against giving him my number because I could not really tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy...simply a fascinating guy. I’ve often wondered who that man was but I’m relieved that I made the correct choice.
Young women can make terrible mistakes.
I live next door to a Berber Muslim and his American wife. He lives in fear of her, lol! And he’s kind to his very infidel-like daughters and sons and plays with my dog.
