LMAO! She is ridiculous... She lives in the only democratic nation in the Middle East, was given an opportunity to go to school, work, etc. (all on Israel's expense btw) yet she hates Israelis? Wow what ignorance is that!

Let's not forget the fact that she even has a voice to speak with and is being recognized as a woman and NOT some "asset" in Israel. I'd say she should try her luck in neighboring countries such as Syria, Egypt, Jordan, etc. maybe she will have better luck there!
