There is a Miss Palestine in Miss Universe and it got viral because of the way Miss Israel is looking at her. I don't know why but she looks hostile looking at her. We know these countries are currently at war at this moment. Miss Palestine is from Ramallah, so she is far from Gaza. So she is from a more peaceful region... Well Peaceful for now. A lot of Muslim countries competes these year because they let Muslim women to wear Burkinis or abaya instead of bikinis in swimsuit competition.

Miss Israel seems to be the only one in that photo who is not smiling. I imagine there were so many photos taken of those contestants, that it would be possible to find one to fit the story agenda, even if all the contestants were smiley, happy and friendly for most of the time.

This Miss Palestine and Miss Israel thing has really set the internet on fire. People are saying that Miss Israel's eyes were filled with hate, and given the war between their countries, it's no wonder people started talking. But it's interesting to see Miss Palestine representing Ramallah, a place that's still relatively peaceful. It's also cool to see that pageants now allow Muslim beauties to wear burkinis or abayas instead of bikinis. The world is slowly changing.

I agree with you, there seems to be some tension on Miss Israel's face.

Interesting dynamics at play.

[germainebull]

Indeed. As they say, still dogs don't always stay so.

I guess it has something to do with their countries being on war and probably Miss Israel is a former soldier because if you are Israeli, you are required to at least have six years of military service before you are allowed to go to college.

Oh, wow, if looks could kill!! That's the vibe I'm getting Then again, it may just be the angle from which the photo was taken. On a side note, I don't like the double standards of the world we live in, how Israel is allowed to participate in all sporting activities/ singing competitions/beauty pageants etc yet countries such as Russia are banned even though they belong in the same WhatsApp group, if you catch my drift. I'm not trying to be antisemitic, I'm genuinely sitting here getting wound up, asking myself why?!?

[Netherrealmer]

Yeah, Eurovision and the Olympics banned Russia because of what they are doing to Ukraine while Israel is still competing in all these international events while committing genocide.
