During my daily scan of news, I came across some interesting photos (here, here, here and here) of the ‘Miss Seamiline’ Beauty Queen contest, which toke place in the Israeli town of Gilo, near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2005. As the caption of these photos said, the beauty contest intends to promote peace between Israeli’s and Palestinians. The contest included women from the Israeli community of Gilo and the Palestinian village of Beit Jala and East Jerusalem.

So far the news clip sound cool and interesting, but what caught my eyes in this photo was the background. Here you see an Israeli soldier and her boyfriend share a moment of passion! But that’s not what matters. The contrast I see in this photo is so ridiculous fact that the Israeli soldier is carrying her automatic machine gun, in an event to promote peace. Sounds funny to me!
