Miss Greece has pulled out of the @MissUniverse pageant which is to be held in Eilat, Israel, later this year. She says that she cannot participate when “people are fighting for their lives…”
The @BDSmovement is growing.

We stand steadfast as South Africans against Apartheid, no matter where it may take place. Because there is #NoBeautyInApartheid
We call Miss SA to respect the oppressed Palestinians, to support the SA government and not travel to Apartheid Israel for this years Miss Universe
Justin Bieber is really going straight from SA to Israel. From a country that fought apartheid to a country that's practicing apartheid. Lmao what a joke.
No, no, no, @justinbieber don’t go to apartheid Israel! Sign the petition asking pop star Justin Bieber to support Palestinian rights by canceling his Oct 2022 performance in Israel. codepink.org/bieberisrael?r…
For anyone who thinks this this a personal attack on Lalela, it really isn't. It was announced in June that Miss Universe would be in Israel this year and I said it wouldn't be a good idea to send anyone there, this was MONTHS before Lalela won Miss SA. She just got set up.
The government has withdrawn their support for Miss SA, so Lalela is going to Israel as an individual who only represents the MISS SA organisation. This is what happens when you put your pride above human rights and suffering. It's not too late for her to do the right thing.
I don't know where you guys get the idea that SA has friendly relations with Israel when it has since recalled its Ambassador to Israel. Downgraded the embassy to a liaison office with no political mandate, no trade mandate and no development cooperation mandate.
Government has distanced itself from the Miss S.A. pageant organisers' decision to participate in Miss Universe contest to be held in Israel. Do you support government's decision? #MissSA#LalelaMswane#sabcnews
What gets me is that Miss SA Lalela is literally an LLB graduate, she literally studied International law, knows about the atrocities, the flagrant int law violations. Yet picking a piece of metal crown over human rights. Disgusting!
She does not represent me.
