A former Israeli beauty queen has slammed activist groups like Black Lives Matter for not supporting terrorist Jews, claiming they need to “learn their facts.”
Yityish “Titi” Aynaw, the first Ethiopian to win the title of “Miss Israel” in 2013, criticized the double standard on full display by self-styled human rights activists and groups when it comes to Israel.
“I was very surprised by the response of Black Lives Matter regarding the terrorist attack in Israel,” the 32-year-old said in a post on Instagram.
“I remember you screaming in the street, ‘I can’t breathe.’ I want to inform now… [it’s Israelis] who cannot breathe.”
He called about 200 Israeli hostages held in Gaza – including babies, children, women, entire families and the elderly.
“They were kidnapped, raped by the terrorist organization Hamas… butchered their souls. Hamas is ISIS. Pray for us. Pray for Israel because we cannot breathe, he added.

Aynaw’s comments were posted on a heartbreaking video showing a young woman being dragged from the back of a vehicle covered in blood.
The beautiful queen moved as a 12-year-old orphan from a small village in Ethiopia to Israel, where she later became an officer in the IDF and later the representative of the Jewish state on the world stage.

“This group – BLM – needs to learn their facts,” Aynaw told The Post from his home in Ramat HaSharon near Tel Aviv.
“People need to learn who they really support, what they are doing to their own people, not to mention Jews. They don’t care about saving lives. No human rights [with Hamas]. They killed themselves – they also killed Muslims, Bedouins who served in the army.”

The Chicago Black Lives Matter organization posted a since-deleted graphic that appeared to celebrate Hamas’ slaughter of Israel.
“The situation in Israel is very bad. We really haven’t experienced anything like this since the Holocaust,” he added.
Aynaw said she was digesting news of her relatives being kidnapped, injured or killed. He had friends at the Nova music festival where Hamas launched a devastating attack.

“We have a hole in our hearts, in every Israeli heart,” he said, speaking of the anxiety that has gripped the country. “During the day, I find myself trying to breathe, sounding like an old lady trying to catch my breath.”
Aynaw, who calls her adopted home “diverse, multicultural and unique,” and a country that “truly accepts everyone,” looks to transformative civil rights visionary Martin Luther King Jr. to articulate her urgent appeal.
“Black voices everywhere: this is our time to stand together and be heard,” he said on Instagram, calling out the legendary leader who was a tireless supporter of Israel and railed against antisemitism. “My dream is to unite against terrorism – to fight Hamas, fight terrorism.”

He said education about the makeup of the Jewish state might change people’s perceptions.
“They don’t know that there are black Jews here – a large Ethiopian community that lives here equally,” he said, adding, “Many officers and soldiers are black and fight for their country, Israel,” he said. amid reports of seven Ethiopians killed since the attack began.
“People need to know there were black Jews who were killed.”
Aynaw’s final warning to those who support and defend brutal attacks on Israel “not by freedom fighters, but fanatical organizations” is to do your homework.

“Everyone who supports them – the LGBT community – I want them to go to Gaza and see how Hamas will behave towards them,” Aynaw said, noting that arrests, death threats and worse are often visited upon them.
Aynaw admits she is afraid of what the world will be like as she tries to protect her 11-month-old son.
“I just said, ‘What world am I bringing my son into? A world that’s going to hate him because he’s black or Jewish?’” he said, his face etched with the fortitude of fear as he quickly turned to the resilience that had sustained the Jews for thousands of years.
“I started to feel guilty. But then I remembered that light is stronger than darkness.
