Is this pageant really necessary?

As much as Rocket Man loves beauty pageants, I’m not sure what he would make of this report from the Jerusalem Post about the “Miss Barrier Line” pageant, that features 26 Israeli and Palestinian contestants. Since none of the contestants is Muslim (that religion doesn’t share Rocket Man’s enthusiasm for such events), what I make of it is that Israeli Jews and Palestinian Christians can get along.
