Blogger MuslimGirl wont accept Revlon award while Gal Gadot is spokeswoman

The writer and activist known as MuslimGirl has refused to accept an award from Revlon because it hired Israeli actress Gal Gadot as its new spokeswoman.

Amani al-Khatahtbeh, 26, an American-born blogger of Palestinian and Jordanian origin, rejected Revlon’s Changemaker Award on Tuesday.

“As much as this means to me and I would love to be there to celebrate with you, I cannot accept this award from Revlon with Gal Gadot as the ambassador,” she wrote in a post on her personal Twitter account. “Her vocal support of the Israel Defense Forces’ actions in Palestine goes against MuslimGirl.com’s morals and values.”

"I can’t, in good conscience, accept this award from the brand and celebrate Gal’s ambassadorship after the IDF imprisoned a 16-year-old girl named Ahed Tamimi last month, an activist who is currently still incarcerated,” she also wrote.

Ahed Tamimi was filmed repeatedly hitting an Israeli soldier and is facing assault charges.

why would a seriously Muslim woman be up for a Revlon award when they're supposed to hide their beauty from any man who is not their husband, because supposedly Muslim men cannot control themselves around a woman who is, shall we say, "under-dressed"?

The ginger is Ahed Tamimi. She's a "Palestinian" activist who has repeatedly, and violently, attached IDF soliders.

Note the Israeli police around her.

Now, who is "white"?
