From THE Times of Israel:
An Arab-Israeli microbiologist from northern Israel won the fourth season of Israel’s reality show “Master Chef.”
Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel, a 33-year-old mother of three from Baqa al-Garbiya, was crowned the winner of Israel’s most-watched television show on Sunday night. She appeared in the final with Ido Kronenberg of the central Israeli city of Savyon, and Meseret Woldimikhal, an immigrant to Israel from Ethiopia.
Having won the contest is she heading for Disneyland?
No. She said she would use her winnings to open a Arab-Jewish cooking school for students from throughout the country.
I hope she will continue as a microbiologist with the cooking school an avocation.
Should anyone be surprised?
Miss Israel, Titi Yitayish Ayanaw, is a politically naive (she admires Obama) 6'-tall olah from Ethiopia.
BDS target Soda Stream employs Muslims and Jews - and maybe Christians, too - and pays them equally for equal work, even though it is on the "wrong" side of the so-called Green Line.
Israel, unlike the PA (and many other Islamist-dominated countries) has Arabs - both Muslim and Christian - in its national political body, the Knesset. Even when these Members of Knesset preach and practice hatred of Israel they are allowed to remain in office, treason not withstanding.
Women are respected scientists in Israel. Aside from Men's Room Attendant, I can't think of any job "off limits" to an Israeli woman. One, Dr. Karnit Flug, heads the Bank of Israel. Two others head two of the 7 major political parties: Tzipi Livni (Hatnuah) and Zahava Gal-On (Meretz).
It's interesting to compare the freedoms non-Jews have in Israel with the freedoms Jews have in many Muslim countries. When the PA gets its way, it will be what Hitler wanted: Judenfrei - free of Jews.
Likewise it's interesting to compare women's rights in Israel with women's rights - or lack thereof - in Muslim-dominated countries. Consider Saudia; how about Iran, or even the Turkey of today.
It really is amazing the difference between the politically left and the reality on the ground.
Israel is NOT perfect. What nation is? At the same time, Israel is not an apartheid country nor does it threat its neighbors - despite their attacks on. and constant incitement against, the country - badly. True, there IS a fence that creates an inconvenience for Israel-bound terrorists. If someone wants the fence removed, let them assure Israel's freedom from terrorists. I don't see the Left lining up for the task.
Curious. Israel's fence to deter terrorists is condemned. The U.S.' WALL to keep out Mexicans looking for a better life north of the border is tolerated. Double standard , anyone?
Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel is proof positive that - contrary to the Left - Israel is a land offering opportunity to all of its citizens.
