The shocking truth about a Jewish woman-Muslim man relationship
Dana, a young Jewish woman who married an Arab, appeared 12 years ago on TV broadcast denouncing her Judaism, “After my child’s birth, I started reading from the Koran.” Now, she came back to share the full truth of her experience.So you see, long before October 7, 2023, there were horrific cases like these. Israeli women who foolishly converted to Islam, and wound up victims of violent spousal abuse over petty issues. Now, it remains to be seen how many will speak out against the repellent influence of the Religion of Peace.
The headline of the news piece was “The Women Who Converted to Islam and Moved to the Territories,” and it was an attempt to show how mixed Jewish-Muslim couples live happily ever after.
“As is often the case, the road to the territories is through the heart,” said interviewer Ohad Hamu in the Channel 12 TV broadcast 12 years ago, describing with pathos the story of a young Jewish woman who had fallen in love with an Arab, converted to Islam and moved in with him in Yericho.
“When I start praying, a stone falls from my heart. I start to breathe,” said Yael (a pseudonym), wearing a black veil that revealed only her eyes.
“Between me and G-d, I am a Muslim,” she declared, spreading out a rug on which to bow down for Muslim prayer. “After my child’s birth, I didn’t say ‘Shema Yisrael,’ but started reading from the Koran. That’s what finalized things for me, no doubt about it.”
Her Muslim husband, photographed at her side, shared the story of how they met. In another scene, she is photographed with her mother-in-law hugging and smiling, while the interviewer jokes about her daughter-in-law’s Arabic accent.
“They start a new life, exposed to prejudice, to racism as well as to hatred,” says the interviewer, referring to how they are viewed by her Jewish family and friends. “I am not a free person. I am afraid. I am afraid of the religious organizations and my family.”
It is only towards the end of the segment when the real motive behind the broadcast becomes clear. The husband’s lawyer talks about how the Israeli authorities are making it difficult for him to receive a blue Israeli ID card, and hoping the piece will pressure them.
Looking back at that interview 12 years ago, the Jewish woman featured in the clip, who’s real name is Dana, admitted the truth. “We did the interview so he could get a blue ID card,” she conceded. “They forced me to take a picture with the veil and the prayer rug. I did everything they told me, like a robot. That’s how I was there, like a zombie, doing what I was told without question.”
It’s been about four years since Dana left the destructive, violent relationship, but the rehabilitation process is ongoing. “My exit from there was a miracle,” she tells leading Israeli interviewer Yinon Magal, in the hope that her story will lead others to sever their relationships with Muslim partners.
“I want to inspire real hope,” she says. “I hear about what the female hostages went through in Gaza, and I understand them.”
Dana lived in Yericho for more than 10 years and bore five children to her Muslim husband before managing to escape, with the help of Yad L’Achim. Now, after the Simchas Torah massacre, she hopes that women in her previous situation will understand that they are being exploited and abused.
“The truth blew up in my face,” she says. “In that interview with Channel 12, I said that I was an example of how Jewish-Muslim couples could live together, but that was simply not true. It was an unhappy life.”
