Hostage turns down wedded bliss w. terrorist for freedom

Noga Weiss, an 18-year-old former hostage, told N12 on Thursday that her terrorist captor had demanded her hand in marriage and insisted that she stay in Gaza to raise his children.

Weiss, who was released on her 50th day in captivity as part of a temporary ceasefire agreement, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Beeri on October 7.

After 14 days in captivity, her captor gave her a ring and demanded that she stay in Gaza to marry him and have his children.

“He told me, ‘Everyone will be released, but you will stay here with me and have my children,’” she recalled. “I pretended to laugh so he wouldn’t shoot me in the head.”

Perhaps the cure for all the hate is just to make Jews sexier?

Seriously speaking now, it just shows how arbitrary hate can be. It's learned. Perhaps it can be unlearned.

"That which your right hand possesses" i.e. your slave

According to the Qur'an, women captured in war may be kept as slaves and the captor may take them as their spouse or keep them simply as a sex slave.
