She's black, she's South Africans, and she's beautiful.
Lalela Mswane is Miss South Africa, and has arrived in Israel to compete for the Miss Universe title. On appearance and charisma alone, I'd say she has a really good chance.
But more than that, she has courage: she stood up to the anti-Israel "boycott, divestment, and sanctions" (BDS) movement and continued to Israel despite incredible nationwide pressure to back out of the contest. She even persevered when her own government withdrew its (largely symbolic) support for her candidacy.
For that, she has been vilified -- in racial terms, too -- by the perpetually stupid Israel-haters. She has been told that she is "owned" by Miss South Africa, as part of some publicist's scam -- as if a black woman cannot be free to make her own decisions and pursue her own dreams. It's really disgusting how she has been treated -- and quite inspiring how she has come through it all, regardless.

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
