Newsweek Invents New Israeli Crime

Remember when I first posted about the venue of the 2021 Miss Universe being announced as Israel?

This was my post title:

Well in case you are wondering, it was not me who is behind this Newsweek headline:

Alas, that headline is misleading.

Despite Israel being one of the first countries to close its borders due to concerns around the new Omicron COVID variant, it is still planning to host a cavalcade of beautiful women at the Miss Universe pageant at the Red Sea resort city of Eilat in December.

Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov made the announcement on Sunday, a day after Israel said it was banning all foreigners from entering the country.

The minister told reporters that participants at the Miss Universe beauty pageant would be given waivers while possibly undergoing PCR testing every two days, as well as other precautionary measures.

“This is an event that will be broadcast in 174 countries, a very important event, an event that Eilat, too, is very much in need of,” Razvozov said before Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting. “We will know how to manage this event. So, by using the waivers committee, we will have events like this, to which the country already committed itself and cannot cancel.”

Now watch as the haters latch on to the Newsweek headline to claim we discriminate against ugly people.

Which, come to think of it, is kind of true.
