Israel rescues Yazidi woman from Gaza, kidnapped by ISIS ten years ago at age 11

A Yazidi woman who was kidnapped from Iraq by ISIS in 2014 at the age of 11 and trafficked to the Gaza Strip has been rescued and reunited with her family.

The rescue and return home of Fawzi Amin Sido was announced separately by the foreign ministries of Israel and Iraq.

Israel’s foreign ministry said Sido was taken from her family in 2014 amid ISIS attacks on Yazidi communities in Iraq, as the terror organization known for its brutalities took control of vast swaths of the country. She was then sold off to a Gazan man who was visiting Iraq at the time.

Israeli security forces recently extracted Sido and returned her home.

why is this not better publicized? Israel is freeing a woman enslaved for 10 years by the jihadis

I realize that whoever is without sin should alone cast the first sun, but damn; that poor little girl!

[jonatron]

The naive among the leftist anti-Israel protestors in solidarity with Hamas murderers, kidnappers and rapists don't want to know who, and what they really stand for.

The willful leftist-terrorist anti-Israel protestors don't want the public to know what they really stand for.

Because according to the media if it’s culturally acceptable to Muslims, then it’s not a crime when they do it.

sun = stone

To Westerners this may be horrifying to imagine, yet not likely to be uncommon in the genealogy of the muslim demographic; stories such as this are probably a familiar, recurring theme in their charming “how mommy met daddy” family-narratives.

The values and practices of people in the MidEast are not compatible with those of Western culture. The US is squandering treasure and people when it involves itself in this region.Their attitudes and practices will not change by force of arms. The only real hope for them is that given enough computers and exposure to the internet, they will realize the absurdity of their existence and will begin to change from within. Probably will take a thousand years if it is to happen at all.

But Ta-Nehisi Coates assured me that Palestinians just want to write poetry and soulfully tend to their soil.

It's not quite the word I want, but denial.

Look at the Left's support for the 'Palestinians' and other Islamic causes: they say things like "they just want to be left alone", "they just want their own state", they just want to coexist".

As with all things for the leftist idiot voter, these are notions that make them feel good. It's all about emotion and not logic. (See also: why they're so pro-illegal-immigrant: so they can feel warm and fuzzy about 'helping people'.)

The stated Hamas- Hamas being the duly elected representatives of the people of Gaza!!!- position is to drive all the Jews into the ocean, killing as many as possible in the process, and creating a single, Islamic state.

The Lefties are consequently in a permanent state of denial over the state of affairs in the Middle East- they can't admit what the Islamic parties openly claim, because that would interfere with their warm fuzzies logic-free position. The Islamists are just misunderstood, see? They don't actually mean that genocidal rhetoric; it's just their reaction to Israeli misdeeds.

At this level of denial and projection for the entire conflict/situation, ignoring any single piece of counter-evidence (A Yazidi girl abducted, trafficked, and likely much worse) is trivially easy to them. They've been doing it for decades as a psychological defense mechanism; what's special enough about this case to make it break through to them..?

It's ignored because they have to ignore it, lest they confront reality in a logical manner, and realize that it's the Israelis who want to be left alone, and the "palestinians" who plainly, outspokenly, want death and genocide.

I'm guessing you really know already, but it's because it doesn't fit the left's agenda. See Tagline.

not enslaved by jihadis allowed by Islam. all credit for the civilizational crime should be placed at the troglodyte religions feet.

Studiously ignored by the MSM. If they had accidentally blown her head off, which happens in urban fighting, they’d have been all over it. But rescues?! Narrative uber alles.

[Eleutheria5]

Leftard version: Let he who has never been stoned cast the first sin (OK. Got it from Eek and Meek cartoon. I confess).

But anyway, I don’t think any of us ever kidnapped an 11 year old to use as a sex slave, so we’re good on that score.
