Iraqi beauty queen draws criticism for Israel visit
AP ^ | June 2018

Sarah Idan, Iraq’s 2017 Miss Universe beauty pageant contestant, is visiting Israel this week, a trip that has enraged people back home.

Idan was criticized and received death threats after taking a selfie with Israeli contestant Adal Gandelsman during last November’s competition. She arrived in Israel this week and reunited with Gandelsman during a visit organized by the American Jewish Committee to “talk about peace.”

Miss Iraq, who currently resides in the U.S., received the title in 2017 after the original winner was disqualified for being married. Her appearance in Israel drew harsh criticism from Iraqis on social media. Iraq and Israel don’t have diplomatic relations.

Despite criticism, Idan says she isn’t afraid, and that she visited Israel “because I want peace for everyone, for Israelis, for Palestinians.”

Not everyone believes in peace, however. Certainly not the liberals who claim to want peace but support the Jihadists and communists instead.

Sure you’re not afraid, you’re living in the States. Move back to Baghdad, Sadr City, Basra, Ramadi, Fallujah, or Najaf and run your mouth. She’s fine and I’m betting that her American sugar daddy is taking her all over the place, showing her a good time. Just out of curiosity, I wonder if she’s living in the muslim sh*thole in Dearborn or is she in LA, using her looks to live the good life. Not that I’d blame her, if she was in LA, but let’s not try to make ourselves out to be something we’re not.

As someone that is actually in Iraq right now, you’re probably right.

However, we’re talking about a hottie, of which there are many in Iraq, not bombs and bullets.
