Former Miss Iraq isn't afraid to salute Israel, 'I want to be on the good side'

[Richard D]

"Israel is the only one standing against the terrorists," says Sarah Idan, former Miss Iraq and ardent Israel supporter.



Q: Explain this to me. You're not Israeli, not Jewish. How are you willing to continue dealing with this and sacrifice your life for Israel?

"It's not for Israel – it's for the free world. There's God's side, the good side, and there's the evil side. The people who hate Israel – the Islamists, the communists, the fascists, all these crazy people – they are, you know, against the free world and free will. Many people are mistaken when they think that everything I do is just for Israel. It's not. It's because I know that Israel is the only one standing against the terrorists, against the crazy people. So yes, I want to be on the side of the good."

Q: Were you surprised by Hamas's barbarity?

"I wasn't surprised at all. I've seen it already in Iraq, I know that's how they behave. I know how much they hate the Jewish people, and I know how barbaric they are. The difference is that if I once thought it was only radical Islamists who hate Jews, after October 7, I realized it's 90 percent of ordinary people."

"When I posted the video of the kidnapped woman with the blood-soaked pants (Naama Levy), one of the responses I got was from a woman who wished that Hamas would catch me too and turn me into a sex slave. I went to her profile and saw a picture of her with her husband and two little girls. And she's wishing for me to be a sex slave of Hamas."

"It's intense hatred for the Jewish people, stemming from the dehumanization that has been done to Jews in Arab countries for a long time. Muslims always refer to them as descendants of pigs and monkeys."

1. nice to know she has a direct line to the only true god nt

[Jack Valentino]

15. For all we know, Thomas Crooks may have had the same idea.

[brush]

2. Not smart. She's going to have some problems when what she said gets out.

[sarisataka]

3. Normally those who speak out against hated

Are lauded, especially when then do so at personal risk.

[brush]

6. Depends on whether she's in one of the country's Bibi is bombing the hell out of...

since there's nothing left to destroy in Gaza.

[sarisataka]

7. You think she is in danger from Netanyahu?

Please explain why speaking out against terrorists and antisemitism would put her at risk?

[brush]

8. She could be in danger from Netanyahu's bombs. Yes. Or from siding with the bombers.

[sarisataka]

9. I don't think Netanyahu will direct Israel to attack Iraq

Over her speaking in favor of Israel.

Is your second sentence hinting that the "freedom fighters" could be offended and try to cause her harm? Or would it be someone else?

[brush]

10. People against extreme over-retaliation and obliteration of Gaza may very well not like her statement.

And btw, being against the destruction of Gaza is not antisemitism.

Israel needs to do better and relieve Netanyahu the warmonger of duty.

[sarisataka]

12. I would be very pleased to see Netanyahu moved from an office to a cell

And I never in any way related to related Gaza to antisemitism so please do not try to slip words into my mouth.

Here is what she said-

"It's intense hatred for the Jewish people, stemming from the dehumanization that has been done to Jews in Arab countries for a long time. Muslims always refer to them as descendants of pigs and monkeys."

[brush]

14. Silence is the soul of discretion. Some times it's best to observe that.

And I apologize, I was not trying to slip words in your mouth, it was a preemptive strike against being called an anti-Semite. That happens a lost if one comes out against the obliteration of Gaza.

And I'm glad we agree on Netanyahu.

[sarisataka]

4. This will not win Miss Iraq any friends.

It is very brave of her to speak against terrorism and antisemitism. What is truly sad is her words literally could cost her life.

[Richard D]

5. She's been speaking out for quite some time . . .

. . . and she speaks out, knowing the danger it puts her in.

I think that level of courage is called being a hero.

[Richard D]

17. As, tragically . . .

. . . has often been the case.

[malaise]

11. She is as relevant as Miss South Carolina from

some years back
That is all

[tritsofme]

19. Strange you would feel the need to belittle this brave woman for standing against hate. Actually, never mind!

It fits perfectly!

[LexVegas]

13. This will anger the pro freedom fighter crowd. nt

[Richard D]

16. Seems . . .

. . . it already has.

[LexVegas]

18. I saw the saltiness. Trying to marginalize this brave womans voice. nt

[tritsofme]

20. They are pellucidly clear about their hate for Jews and love of terorrists.

That is all.
