An Israeli beauty queen's selfie has caused a stir in Lebanon, with some Lebanese calling for their country's contestant at the Miss Universe pageant to be stripped of her title for consorting with the enemy.

Miss Israel, Doron Matalon, posted a photo of herself and Miss Lebanon, Saly Greige, smiling together at pageant preparations in Miami, where the winner will be picked on January 25.

The now-famous selfie:

Miss Israel - Doron Matalon:

Yep, something stirred.

[Blennos]

A true beauty. Those eyes are mesmerizing.

[faithhopecharity]

very pretty indeed.
(Lebanon needs a lesson, though)

[OldNewYork]

Can’t see what all the fuss is about.

[goldstategop]

Arabs hate Jews - even in seemingly innocuous non-political contexts like a beauty contest.

It says more about the moral state of the Arab World than it does about the moral state of Israel.

Only a photo featuring a Jew would incite violent hatred in the Arab World.

This thread needs more photos to properly evaluate the controversy ...

[ClearCase_guy]

Peace will be hard to achieve, if standing next to someone and smiling is seen as somehow treasonous.

I suppose the Arabs will have to stone Miss Lebanon now. That whore.

Can’t see what all the fuss is about.

Muslims are outraged by the existence of non-Muslims.

These people are missing the point.

Which gal is Miss Lebanon? That blonde is kind of eh, but the other three are lovely.

[BlueNgold]

And...

World Peace!

.
Had to do it...

[jocon307]

She does have beautiful eyes. Slightly off topic but so does that poor Saudi blogger who’s been sentenced to get beaten to death over a year via 1000 lashes.

I am outraged at the existence of muslims....I despise them, and we should convert them to Juduasm, or kill them, every last one of them.

Yes the choice of Judaism was deliberate as most of them would rather die...which was the point.

Back in the 70’s, I had a friend whose parents immigrated from Lebanon. Very nice, hospitable folks, with one exception. The father was in the habit of watching news on TV. Whenever the word “Israel” was mentioned, he would turn into a “foaming at the mouth” madman. Just like that, going from the offer of a drink, to being gripped, with insanity.

The one to the left is Miss Israel to her right is Miss Lebanon.

The worst crime in the Arab World is to view an Arab exposed to Jewish cooties.

I feel sorry for Miss Greige that she even had to defend herself in what is a friendly photo shoot.

Arabs are the most racist people on earth.

[doorgunner69]

I think Miss Lebanon is far hotter.

[faithhopecharity]

creatures with rabies need to be cured, or shot

and given how many innocent people the rabidos have murdered, the time for curing them is, imho, long past

[jttpwalsh]

Thanks for your reply. He is deceased, so I guess he was cured ;)

[faithhopecharity]

Good. Thanks.

[samtheman]

I’d settle for just deporting them all from the US.
