Script:
There’s an old saying: Man plans and God laughs. That couldn’t be more true.
My plan was simple enough. Go to the Miss Universe contest as Miss Iraq and represent Iraqi women on the world stage.
My country hadn’t sent anyone to the competition for 45 years, so my being there was a big deal.
The Miss Universe contest brings women together from all over the world—it’s a true celebration of diversity. The world is made up of all kinds of people. I like that.
So, when I met Miss Israel, I said, “Let’s take a picture so our people can see we don’t have a problem and we’re actually ambassadors for peace.”
We took a photo together and I shared it on Instagram. I captioned it “Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel.”
And that was the end of life as I knew it.
Overnight, everything changed. The Miss Iraq organization—under pressure from the Iraqi government—threatened to strip me of my title if I didn’t immediately take down the photo.
But that was nothing compared to the barrage of death threats I received. And not only was I getting them, so was my family.
You see, Iraq doesn’t recognize Israel as a legitimate nation-state. It never has.
There are no diplomatic relations between the countries.
My selfie with Miss Israel was meant to be a gesture of goodwill—the start of something positive.
But many Iraqis and other Arabs took it as a slap in the face. They thought I was betraying the Palestinians, and by extension, all Arabs and Muslims.
As bad as it was for me, it was worse for my family, who were living in Iraq and, suddenly, in very real danger. To protect them, I did what the Miss Iraq mission told me to do. I issued a statement saying I do not support the Israeli government or its policies.
Then, with as much grace as I could muster, I put a smile on my face and competed. I didn’t talk to the media. I didn’t talk to anyone.
But the hatred didn’t stop. There was no way I could safely go back to Iraq and no way my family could stay there. Thank God, they managed to get safely out of the country. To this day no one in my family could return to Iraq. All because I smiled next to an Israeli.
I went to the Miss Universe pageant as a musician and a model.
I left conflicted and confused. What had I done that was so terrible? Why so much hate?
During the pageant, my intentions were never political. I just wanted to meet people and make friends. But my experience showed me that I had to become political. But I would do it in my own way.
I would bring my photo with Miss Israel to life.
So I went to Israel, even though my Arab friends advised me not to go. They told me it would be dangerous and that it would ruin my future because they believed Israelis don’t like Arabs and the Arabs would hate me even more for going.
Well, the second part certainly turned out to be true.
As for the Israelis, they could not have been more welcoming. But here’s what surprised me: the Israelis were not just Jews. They were Muslims, Christians, and others, too.

الحل الوحيد للسلام هو دولة فلسطينية بحدود ما قبل عام 1948 وحل دولة واحدة ثنائية القومية.

I know Dennis Prager is Jewish and that the loyalty and allegiance of all Jews is to his fellow Jews and Israel first and foremost but I still can't stand this pro-Israel propaganda PragerU has been churning out and pushing on an industrial scale lately, I mean, it's like 5 videos a day all of them about how great Israel is ffs.
🇮🇶❤️🇮🇱 peace ✌️
As an Iraqi, i am proud of Sarah ❤️
The Fact that people believe this shit makes me want to live in a cabin in Montana, Isreal is a genocidal fascist zionist country, you deserve it. Glory to Saddam's Iraq!
The desert God Yaweh/Jehovah/ Allah are
Hate mongers ,insisting only they be worshipped ,we Jews and humanity are force live in constant fear stress anxiety and duress under this hate filled God
Satan seeks to build a better world of love happiness etc
The Abrahamic God,demonizing every other faith and their God is basically projecting their own personal fears anxieties and short comings!
Judeans pursuit is to break free from the Thorah and the law and enter into a covenant of Kabbalah at that point we will be able to slay Yaweh/ Allah/ Jehovah because law and order would be fulfilled.
Chaos would be liberated and darkness would shine so bright , ushering the eight day of creation.
Seven candles in the Hanukah menorah seven days of creation the Temple menorah got eight the eight day of creation yet to come
The fall is the original androgynous Adam being seperated into male into masculine & feminine energy
Adam was created in the image of the Gods and the Gods were all androgenous.
"Come let "US" make man in "OUR" image.
Babylonian Sumerian text man was created as a slave race but the Gods needed more and thus the creation of Eve!
The catastrophe of separation of the polarity into male female produces death ,child bearing , tireless labour. This poison fruit lasts for six thousand years,it coming to it's final years .
We are in the cusp age of creating androgenous immortal humans back to the original state
Adam and Eve are in constant struggle with the God of Israel Yaweh who in gnosticism is call Yarab who is trying to gain knowledge so they can free their souls, from the material world of chaos.
We Jews of the Zohar, Kabbalah secretly hate and despise this hateful "God" Yaweh Allah Jehovah etc that's why throughout our history we disobeyed and corrupt his B.S. message and messengers
Italy's first female president
Declares no new mosques
Sermons must be in Italian as is currently being implemented in France ,Austria etc
Imma must be vetted , must preach what only what is conductive to our great western societies of free speech freedom of religion etc etc
Basically have a choice if you chose to live in the west then you basically have to submit to our laws cuckold Allah.

Peace in the middle east would not be good for the US. They need some fire there so they can justify their presence.
Oh for goodness sake not this rubbish AGAIN. The Arabs have for years said they are prepared to make peace with Israel. Jordan and Egypt have already done so. The Jerusalem Post of 25 May 2006 published an interview with Amr Moussa, the then Secretary General of the Arab League. After Israel’s rejection of the Arabs’ 2002 peace offer, Moussa decided to speak directly to the Israeli public through the Jerusalem Post. In the interview he says that he had agreement from all the Arab leaders that the Arab/Israeli conflict must be resolved based on a two state solution, with Israel keeping some parts of the West Bank and the Palestinians being compensated with land in Israel.
Moussa said the initiative has the support of the Arab world. “I’ve talked to all of them,” he said, “from presidents to kings to the simple man in the street. All of them agree. We want to solve the Palestinian problem. We cannot live for decades or generations with the same Arab-Israeli conflict. “We have accepted that Israel will exist in our midst – and read the Arab initiative again – we are ready to end that conflict” he added. Is that clear enough? It is the Israelis who are the obstacle to peace.
Reading some of the comments to this video more than make the point Miss Idan notes about the cycle of anti-Semitism. I do give credit to the Prager University and the moderators of this comment stream for having the courage to leave these hate-filled diatribes here. People who may be unaware of such bigotry under the name of religion can see for themselves what it is and how it continuously evolves, festers and overtakes rational thought.
She’s a queen
There can't never be peace in middle east as long as Sunni-Shia exist. Since the first Sunni books were written in the year 900 CE by the 4 main imams and their pupils; and along the spread of its teachings all over arab and persia till 1200 CE the fall of Islam arab-persian world begins. Middle east has always been in deep turmoils, since that year, untill now…
A naive beauty who the opportunist Israel quickly took advantage of. She then goes through a complete formal brainwashing (zionists mastered ) sessions, then send her out to the world and use her as a publicity tool.
She totally ignored reading history of this shameful entity called Israel. How this "peaceful" country colonized Palestinian lands to have the size it occupies today is not difficult to dig out. They are still stealing lands from Palestinians on daily basis not to mention killing their women and children, but this woman, Sarah, calls that a quest for peace! In a way, yes, Israelites search for peace is true but the rest of the world's translation and intention of Israelites "seeking peace" is completely different! You see, when Israelites convey the message that they want peace, they really mean "we seek peace and it is only attainable if greater Israel is fulfilled". Greater Israel extends all the way to Euphrates river in Iraq! That is why Israelites planned to destroy Syria using ISIS with the help of US and financed by Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar. They were involved in US invasion of Iraq too and now they are expanding their influence in Iraq through separatist Kurdish region. They have blood of your countrymen on their hands, Sarah. There is much to say here but if Sarah could just spend 5 minutes and google it, she would learn a lot!
Sarah has all the familiar dissent characteristics from and Islamic country manipulated by the zionist propaganda machine. She is beautiful, presentable but most importantly, she is naive!
By the way Sarah, did you know this "peaceful country" is labeled as an apparhied state, what does this tell you about diversity in Israel?
Wake up for the sake of Iraq, and Iraqis who were killed by Zionists and those that are still being killed by this "peaceful people"! What a shame you are Sarah for Iraq, you sold your country and very cheap!
Sarah, i dont think you know the reason why Israel is hated in the middle east. If you want to make informed decision on why this happened to you, you should have researched their history with each other. Saying that Israeli state is the only victim is not right. Although Israeli people themselves aren't bad.
Zionism = Nazism
Zionism is Satanism. Zionism comes from Satan, Shaytan, and Iblis.
Thank you. You have sacrificed much, but you will gain more. God Bless you.
Zionism is Satanism
Thank you Sarah- only love and courage can conquer hate and fear. Thank you for your love and courage . IL loves IQ
It's insane that to want peace is political

The only solution for peace is a Palestinian state with the pre-1948 borders and a one state binational solution.

والله العظيم اذا اردت تحرير وطن رصاصة للعدو وتسعة للخونة يا مري يا خايتة
I don't care if people are at war in the middle East, Asia or elsewhere. None of my business. Nothing to do with me. I don't care.
What a brave thing to do. God is proud!!!
Lol we can see how much Israelis love Arabs when they shout “death to Arabs” in the street and interrupt their religious celebrations. People got angry because israel is an evil fascist apartheid regime that daily murders and pillages . They used you to whitewash their crimes . Congrats 🎉
