(Jewish Group) Ignoring Death Threats Miss Iraq Meets With Miss Israel -- In Jerusalem.

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Beauty pageant contestants often claim that all they want is world peace.

Adar Gondelsman of Israel and Sarah Idan of Iraq may actually get us there.

The two women met over the summer at the Miss Universe competition in Las Vegas. They hit it off and took a selfie, which each woman posted to Instagram. “Peace and love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel!” Idan captioned her photo, while Gandelsman wrote, “Get to know [sic] Miss Iraq! She’s amazing.” Gandelsman received public commendation from Israeli officials for the post. But Idan, who said she never expected blowback for the images, told CNN, “I woke up to calls from my family and the Miss Iraq Organization going insane. The death threats I got online were so scary.”

Despite Idan publicly declaring that her post was not intended as support for the Israeli government, but “to express hope and desire for peace between the two countries,” she received death threats. Nevertheless, Idan refused to take down the photo. Though she and her immediate family have long resided in the United States, members of her extended family were forced to flee Iraq due to threats surrounding the photo as well as Idan’s appearance in the competition in a swimsuit.
