Raised to Hate Jews, Now She Fights for Israel: Sandra Solomon’s Untold Story | WATCH

In a powerful YouTube interview on SaharTV,” Sandra Solomon, a Palestinian born in Ramallah, renounced her Muslim upbringing and condemned the Palestinian cause, describing it as rooted in a violent ideology aimed at annihilating Jews. Solomon, whose uncle Zakaria Habash led the Second Intifada, shared her journey from a childhood steeped in anti-Jewish indoctrination to embracing Christianity and advocating for Israel’s right to exist.

Raised in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, Solomon recounted growing up in a culture that glorified terrorism. She described communities celebrating attacks on Jewish civilians with candies and “resistance songs,” and schools indoctrinating children as young as five to view Jews as “filthy” occupiers. “We were taught Israel must be wiped out, that Jews have no right to exist,” she said, citing media like Al Jazeera and school curricula that dressed children as Hamas fighters for jihad training.

Solomon’s perspective shifted after questioning Islamic teachings, particularly the mandatory hijab and the lack of critical thinking allowed in her Saudi education, where 90% of lessons focused on Islam. She faced persecution for rejecting the hijab and questioning the Quran, witnessing public executions in Saudi Arabia as a child, which she said dehumanized her and others. Her grandmother’s story of being respectfully escorted to safety by Israeli soldiers during the 1948 conflict contrasted sharply with Hamas’ actions on October 7, 2023, which she called “stupid terrorist things” involving rape and murder.

Now a Christian, Solomon argues that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is fundamentally religious, driven by Islamic supremacy and a desire to eradicate Jews, not land disputes. “The Palestinian cause should be closed forever,” she declared, urging Israeli leaders and Jews worldwide to reject Palestinian statehood. She warned that granting it would lead to global attacks like October 7, citing sleeper cells and incidents like the Mumbai attack, where terrorists targeted non-Muslims. Solomon also shared the personal tragedy of her 17-year-old daughter’s murder in Sweden for converting to Christianity, underscoring the dangers of Islamic extremism.

She criticized Western liberals for ignoring the conflict’s ideological roots and accused Hamas of using children to build tunnels and fight, while mothers celebrate their “martyrdom” as a path to paradise. “Hamas doesn’t care about Palestinian kids; it’s about a global caliphate,” she said, calling for Palestinians to embrace peace and reject the “spirit of revenge.”

Solomon, who is writing a book on the conflict, challenged critics to debate her, asserting, “I’m on the right side of history.” Her message to Israel: “Don’t listen to the UN or liberals. The more you hit Israel, the stronger it becomes.” She concluded with a call for Jews to pray for Israel, citing Psalms 23 and 27, and expressed her dream to plant an orange tree in Israel for her grandmother, raising the Israeli flag in solidarity.
