An accidental selfie puts Miss Lebanon in hot water!

A seemingly good-spirited selfie taken at the Miss Universe pageant has caused a political stir. Miss Lebanon, Saly Greige, is being criticized for being caught in a photo with Miss Israel, Doron Matalon, along with two other women.

 

After Matalon posted the snapshot on her Instagram profile, Lebanese television station Al Jadeed quipped that, since one of her hobbies is reading, she should have read that Lebanon and Israel are enemies.

 

Greige explained the situation on her Facebook page, saying she had been trying to avoid communicating with and taking a photo with Miss Israel since arriving at the competition, but while she "was having a photo with Miss Japan, Miss Slovenia and myself; suddenly Miss Israel jumped in, took a selfie, and put it on her social media." Greige said she hoped she would still have the support of the Lebanese people.

Apparently Al Jadeed was forgetting that nation's can be enemies and individuals from the nations may disagree with that. I must admit, I still have not forgiven Canada and one Canadian in particular for its part the War of 1812.
