Rima Fakih, winner of the Miss USA competition in 2010, retweeted the above on Wednesday. Here’s a screencap:
Fakih is a Shiite who was born in southern Lebanon and subsequently immigrated to the U.S. A retweet doesn’t necessarily equal an endorsement, of course, but Fakih has been a vocal critic of Israel in recent days:
