So Much for Israel Being an “Apartheid State.”

Christian Arab Israeli wants to represent the Jewish State in Eurovision, and she doesn’t share the views of Iran’s useful idiots.

Israel is a modern, Western-oriented nation in the Middle East. It has a large minority population, mostly Arab, Christians and Muslims, and they serve in every part of Israeli society, including Justices on the Supreme Court, Generals in the IDF, members of the Knesset, in the Cabinet, and as Ambassadors. So it should come as no surprise that when a Christian Arab Israeli deserved the honor of representing the nation at Eurovision, she was given the spot.

That won’t stop Iran’s useful idiots and others of the same ilk from screaming that Israel is an “apartheid state.” None of them know what apartheid means, and none of them have any idea of Israeli society.

Why wouldn’t she be a proud and happy citizen of Israel? In what other nation in the Middle East could she enjoy the same freedoms, the same opportunities, and the same benefits of living in a diverse and modern society?

Israel previously sent a transgender woman to Eurovision. Do you think that is even remotely possible in any other Middle Easter nation?
