Although the silly food wars are by far preferable to the real thing, it remains an unproductive and also deeply unaesthetic way for both countries to compete, not to mention the amount of greenhouse gasses that are released when all that chickpea goo is consumed. That is why the arrival of Rima Fakih at the very summit of the modeling world comes as a godsend. From now on Israelis and Arabs should only compete in the models stakes. As a first challenge, I suggest hummus-wrestling.

Meet Rima Fakih, on the left, an Arab American of Lebanese origins who has just been anointed Miss USA 2010.
