No sign of Miss Israel 2012, Shani Hazan, on the BBC:
For some reason we have an encyclopaedic entry for Miss israel 2013:
An immigrant from Ethiopia when she was 12 years old, Yityish Aynaw learnt Hebrew with no extra help and served as an officer in the Israeli army. Those Israelis must be terrible people allowing that.
The BBC can’t let all that success go without having a dig at Israel:
“It was a new language. It was a new culture. Quite often children even laughed at me,” she says, though she adds that she also met many kind people.’
Oh and this little bit…..
‘Ethiopians often complain about discrimination when it comes to jobs, education and housing. There were even allegations last year that some new Ethiopian immigrants have been given contraceptive injections against their will.’
Nothing like spreading unfounded allegations to demonise Israel.
But never mind…. there might just be some kind people in Israel….blimey…what a surprise…though you might be surprised given the BBC’s usual coverage of the Middle East.
Hang on, what’s this…there are only around 120,000 ethiopians in Israel….not only is one of them Miss Israel…but perhaps more importantly, along with Arab members, there are already two Ethiopians in the Israeli parliament….
Aynaw’s victory “was very important for all Israeli society”, says Penina Tamanu-Shata, one of two Ethiopian Israelis currently serving as a member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset.
That Israeli apartheid is a funny old thing.
The BBC can’t help loving the new Miss Israel despite her having served in the Israeli’s ‘oppressive and savage army’, wonder why…..
‘….another hero, she told the BBC, was the US president…..“I was influenced and inspired by Obama.’
Clearly just a token. Ditto those members of the Knesset. Ditto the tens of thousands smuggled and airlifted out of Ethiopia and to safety to begin with. Ditto everything else that doesn’t fit the agenda. Those nasty, nasty Israelis! Trying to hoodwink us while they poison the wells and murder the babies of the poor Palestinians. Er, and all the other things they do.
Nice picture but I much prefer this one:

The Exodus from Ethiopia was hardly reported by BBBC at the time. Cannot show Israel in a good light can they.
It’s all about Him, nothing to do with discrimination against the paler predecessor. The greatest leader in the history of the world visited her country, and it made for a nice photo-op. She admires Him as well, apparently (like most Beeboids, she thinks He’s a “world class hunk”), so it was an easy sell. Miss Israel 2013 gets the full BBC treatment because of her connection to The Obamessiah, not because she’s evidence that Israel isn’t quite as racist as the BBC makes it out to be. If He hadn’t invited her to dinner and done the photo ops, no story for the BBC. After all, news of her winning the crown last month didn’t seem to make it through the impartial BBC editorial process. Curious.
Voting for an Ethiopian as Miss Israel 2013 (or for that matter, an Arab Rana Raslan in 1999) because she is black or Arab is a clear indication of the basic tokenism of Israeli society. Voting for the President of the United States for the same reason is …?
Yeah Alan, she’s black, get over it.
She’s much blacker than Obama.
This is pure propaganda. No one seriously buys this do they. Do they??
I shouldn’t feed trolls but I can’t let the smears go unanswered.
Haven’t lots of blacks in Israel been forced to take birth control medication? No, not one. Investigation showed that the favoured form of birth control by Ethiopian women was injections and no one received birth control of any type unless they requested it.
Ringworm children? 20,000 or more Israeli individuals, particularly children, who were treated between 1948 and 1960 for tinea capitis (ringworm) with ionizing radiation to the head area. It certainly wasn’t Ethiopians who arrived later. The treatment in Israel was the same that was used elsewhere in the world until griseofulvin, the first effective (and much safer) antifungal agent for ringworm, was introduced in 1959. Irradiation was the recommended protocol at the time and was partially underwritten by UNICEF.
What a wonderful democracy What has the method of selecting a government got to do with it? Does the United Kingdom stop being a democracy because of scandals in the NHS?
Old Obama was sent to do some gardening? He planted a tree – big deal
Sent to bow down before several Jewish memorials and shrines? He visited some memorials as does every visiting head of state and major national leader visiting any country. He didn’t bow and certainly didn’t genuflect. When the old Jewish President visits a foreign country he does exactly the same.
PRICK,
