Miss Universe (Revisited)

 Miss Palestine - And Perhaps A Mess

  Ms. Nadeem Ayoub was the subject of a post in MM back in August, mainly because of her connection with Western University. 
  I just happened to notice that there was a "spike" in interest in that post, which surprised me because not many things in MM get "spiked." Here is the link to my post: " Miss Universe"

Here, perhaps, is why there is interest in it. The source is the New York Post and I will say no more:

"Miss Palestine’s Connection to Convicted Terrorist Leader Revealed Ahead of Miss Universe Pageant, By Caitlin Doornbos, New York Post, 

Published Nov. 20, 2025, 5:33 p.m. ET

Nadeen Ayoub — who claims to be a 27-year-old US and Canadian citizen living in Dubai — is competing this week to represent Palestine, a territory the US and Israel don’t even recognize as a sovereign state.

Strutting through preliminary rounds ahead of the pending pageant, Ayoub has kept most of her personal life under wraps — until now. Years-old screenshots and social media posts obtained by The Post show she took pains to hide that she was once married to Sharaf Barghouti — son of the infamous Fatah leader serving five life sentences in Israel for orchestrating terror attacks that killed five people in 2001 and 2002.

The convicted murderer’s name resurfaced last month when Hamas demanded his release in hostage-exchange negotiations with Israel — a request the Jewish state flatly refused, citing his participation in the first intifada, leadership in the second, convictions in five terror-related murders and founding of the West Bank’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
