Does she not know that the respectable peoples usually couch their objections to personal military service in more nuanced terms. The bien pensants do not say, “I did not serve because I wanted to party down in Ibiza, or New York, or Yale” but rather, “I did not serve because the military is taking advantage of the poor minorities, discriminating against the gays, and chopping down the rain forest with the depleted uranium chainsaws.”
This is how it is done by the smart peoples.
Although, such qualified political statements are not the pacifistic objections of honorable conscientious objectors, but rather just the socially acceptable way of excusing one’s failure to do one’s duty. They are the tribute that selfish vice pays to patriotic virtue.
And if the Bar Refaeli had been smart enough to say something similar perhaps much of the subsequent imbroglio (to include threats of boycotting) would have been avoided. But, she said something dumb and dumber, and now she is in the hot and hotter water.
But, back to her original contention, that “celebrities have other needs”. This is obviously true. The requirements for celebrities to maintain security and privacy are different than what you and the Manolo need. But beyond this, what other needs have celebrities that separate them from, and elevate them above the rest of humanity?
Here is the Manolo’s answer to your question: none.
To treat the celebrities as the special class, exempt from the ordinary duties demanded of the citizens of the democracy, is offensive.
Celebrities are not demi-gods, trapped between Olympus and Earth, raged at by Hera and beset by Minotaurs. They are ordinary people distinguished from the rest of us by their beauty, talent, intelligence or simply notoriety. And yet, again and again, we tolerate and excuse their outrageous actions, complicit in encouraging the very behaviors we deplore.
Of the course, even as we deplore some, we must acknowledge the many, perhaps the majority, who do their duty quietly and without complaint.
Indeed, even the mightiest of mega-celebrities have answered the call to serve.
And now the Manolo asks, if Elvis Presley can, at the very peak of his fame and notoriety, do his duty, why cannot the infinitely less famous, less important, less significant Bar Refaeli?
“Celebrities are not demi-gods” Really? But why when Streisand speaks, people respond? If we the little people ignored them, then they would stop being celebrities who have “other needs”, no?
icc is right. As long as we buy their products, pay them huge sums of money, indulge their childish behavior, give them a hearing when the pop up as “spokespersons,” give them special access to speak before Congress, let them get away with crimes and misdemeanors that ordinary people have to answer to, and generally treat them as if they mattered – they will continue to act as America’s version of royalty. We, as insatiable consumers of entertainment, have created these exalted beings.
I don’t believe we’ll ever get rid of them, mostly because we don’t want to. Somewhere inside most of us is a little, weak, sickly, sexually-unsuccessful Omega monkey who wants desperately to be associated with an Alpha – a monkey who’s sleek, beautiful, powerful, fully reproductive, and in charge. It’s an instinct. Having these people to relate to makes us feel secure in our own subordinate positions. Our reason insists on Democracy, but our animal insticts aren’t happy unless we’re lined up behind the baboon with the shiniest butt.
You can analyze the psychology behind this until you’re blue in the face, but it won’t help. Most people run on automatic.
‘So you were an artist! Big deal! Elvis was an artist. But that didn’t stop him from joining the service in time of war. And that’s why he’s The King, and you’re a schmuck.’ – from Dogma, the movie
Glad they ended this article with Elvis. He was bigger than any of these wannabe’s and he still served. And I love the Dogma quote.
Elvis was drafted
And your point is?
Elvis was an artist. But that didn’t stop him from joining the service in time of war.
Exactly what war was raging when Elvis did his military service? World War II and the Korean War were long over and Vietnam hadn’t yet ramped up; only a few American advisers were there when Elvis was in the Army. He served in Europe as I recall.
Unless you’re going to try to make a case that the Cold War was really a hot war, I think you have to accept that Elvis joined the Army in peacetime.
What other needs do celebrities have? Food, water, shelter like everyone else? Okay, what do celebrities need that others do not? I tend to ignore celebrities. Picking up a soldier hitch-hiking? Done it more than once. Pick up a celebrity? Most likely ignore them. Big whoop in my opinion. Would they pick me up?
Depends on the celebrity. I would pick up Liv Tyler. But not Kate Hudson.
Would you pick up say…Moore, Penn, Maher or Garafolo?
Me? I’d pick up Garafolo…so I could pump her butt….then sew her mouth shut.
Today I adopted her attitude and I was surprised that I was able to see into the future quite easily. It works.
Being born with nice looks and no brains and being incredibly lucky enough to meet and screw the right people in a world teeming with gorgeous bimbos is a keeper.
I hereby pronounce Bar Rafaeli NOT GUILTY…by virtue of hotness.
Give it a while…
Hot Blondes are dime a dozen
“next!”
give it ten years, and we’ll see how “hot” she still is. IF anyone is sufficiently bored to even follow it on. There comes a point when reality demands of one far more than what the current trends designate “gorgeous”, “beautiful”, “hot”. Having money only helps for a while. Sooner or later, without brains and integrity into the bargain, “how the hamburger is piled on the bones”, and all the money in the world, one dies miserable and (most often) alone. Give me a plain-jane average woman with a HEART any day. You can have the “hot”, rich, popular, blondies any time.
Purging the gene pool of parasitic breeders like her, is the first thing that comes to mind.
Well said. Bravo!
It was a different world back then….
Elvis saw with his own eyes the cream of Hollywood serve in WW2. Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, hell, Carol Lumbard DIED flying around doing war bond drives, right?
There was no way he could dare to offend the patriotic sensibilities of his (mostly Southern, but growing nationally) fan base by being a complete ASS and finding a way out of the draft. He knew that wouldnt fly with the traditional church going “regular folks” who listened to his music. Even the teenagers then werent THAT wild and cool, that ditching the Army would be OK (since THEY could be drafted too)
Celebrities were different then. Most grew up poor, like the rest of the country at the time, and appreciated what their fame and fortune had brought them. They tried to project an image of respectability.
At awards ceremonies, they dressed like they were going to the Opera….elegant, classy….ladylike and gentlemanly…
This was before the era of “cool”, when celebrities (at least in Public) respected their fans, and behaved like a guest in your home. No offesnsive language or gestures, no disrespectful comments about political matters, no nastiness no arrogance toward America, and her “people”
They KNEW they were simple, average Americans that, by some grace of luck and talent, had an extraordinary gift of riches fall into their lives, and they seemed genuinely GREATFUL for it.
The famous ones today are simply trash…ignorant, arrogant, and for the most part, talentless trash. Brash, abrasive, selfish and outspoken to the point of offensiveness as they jam their beliefs and agendas down your throat.
Like this Queen Bee, they dont even BOTHER to make up a plausable excuse anymore.
“I’m so pretty, and its just so just YUCKY to be with, you know, PEOPLE people….I cant wait in LINE, hellOOOO!?”
I hope Hamas gets hold of her someday (and a few dozen others I dont have time to mention right now) and gives her a lesson on how the REAL world works.
And if she were to be grabbed by Hamas, I would hope and pray that the commandos who would be asked to go in and rescue her, would just not. And excuse themselves from the mission by saying “Oh, sorry. We have other needs too. Like staying alive and not risking our lives for a worthless low-life like you.”
Bingo! Spot on.
Except, the fact that those commandos will *not* adopt that attitude – will do their duty and kick some Hamas a** to get her back, unharmed, regardless what a lowlife she has proven herself to be – is what distinguishes them from her.
LGoPs-Rest assured, my sons aren’t risking life and limb to rescue her-a vacuous, self serving, bimbo like Bar.
By the way, she would do us all a favor if she stayed in NYC, or, went to Uganda, either way it works for self respecting Zionists.
IF she runs out of money I will offer her a discount at my private home nearby.Glad I kept it….
She offends Zionists EVERYWHERE and we don’t need her!!
Adina,
God bless and keep you and your sons safe.
root83 for the most part I agree with you. Elvis was a MAN. something hollywood is very short on any more. one of my close friends served with Elvis in Germany and he loved Elvis. he said Elvis did not try to get out of doing his duty.Elvis had another deferrment and turned it down to go and serve. cassieus clay refused to serve. I used to love and respect cassiuss. now I despise him,oh by the way. I have over 20 years service to my country and I am 75 years of age.yes I am one of the people who are draining the treasury with my 985.00 dollars a month, and I dont have to tell you how well one can live on that huge amount. thats why I worked untill three years ago,
Thank you, sir!
“I hope Hamas gets hold of her someday (and a few dozen others I dont have time to mention right now) and gives her a lesson on how the REAL world works.”
She’s stupid but that’s disgusting.
My thought, as shared by many I suspect, is you can’t fix “stupid” now can you?
Whoa.. supermodels can actually form thoughts, ok ok ‘a thought’ and express this thought.. with words?
Yep, another ‘wordsmith’ though blowing Refaeli’s sentiment out of the water said this, ‘So what Jefferson was saying was “Hey! You know, we left this England place because it was bogus. So if we don’t get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we’ll just be bogus too.” Yeah? – Jeff Spicoli
I’ll have to give the surfing ‘that guy’s been stoned since the 3rd grade’ type the edge in this discussion.
I’m 51 and would happily take her place. What a boob.
Eye candy. No more but top shelf smoking hot stuff even in that rare atmosphere.
No need to make more if it than that.
Anyone else find it strange DiCaprio’s closer to 40 than 30 and still can’t grow facial hair? I’ve seen Filipino’s, heck some Filipina’s with better facial scruff than Mr. DiCaprio
I really liked Daniel Day Lewis’s character in, ‘The Streets of New York’ but found his nemesis in DiCaprio to be kind of a joke. He’s a man-boy. A very good actor, absolutely. Though hulking, oozing toughness and masculinity as a gang leader.. puhlease.
In Israel celebs can get an exemption from mandatory military service though most don’t. Natalie Portman got one, but she grew up here in the USA. Bar Rafeli was a draft dodger who, when she became famous, was given a pass.
My cousin in Israel says that in his IDF Unit they don’t have her picture hanging up anywhere b/c the men look at her as a coward and a draft dodger
their athlete’s go through the motions, do their service, then pursue their careers
this girl seems more of a detriment to unit cohesion and it’s probably in the best interests of all if she stay away
that being said, she’s probably a mossad agent
Dave, moreover, the troops don’t need to look at her.Those in the know have seen many of the girls in the IDF.Some are so beautiful that they make Bar look like leftovers.The only difference is that they don’t have her notoriety.
These beautiful women can often be seen with a rifle dangling from their hips on their way to their bases ALL over Israel.That’s a lot more alluring than a naked Bar.Most guys will admit-less is more.
I have to side with her a little on this one.
Yeah, I know she does not get where her freedom comes from. She does not get that the Muzzies would stone her in a second as a whore… after they gang-raped her, of course.
It’s just that, female celebs have a VERY small window of opportunity. They have only a very few years to break through and rack up the bucks. Their career path is very different. Military service would rob her of one or two of those precious few years. She did not say it well, clearly not being very bright.
Anyway, as dull as she clearly is, while I would not mind being alone with her, I would not want to be alone in a foxhole with her.
I could go for a glass of Shiriz, and a little foxhole right about now.
Many young Israeli models, entertainers and sports stars have done their IDF service – with minimal impact on their careers. The Army does what they can to accomodate them. No one expects a model to be put on the front lines. But they want them to show up because they set an example that everyone *should* be doing service – any service.
Think of the records Ted Williams could have established if the Marines had “been easy on him.” Not only did he serve (as a fighter pilot) in WWII but he was called back for Korea.
Ted Williams was also John Glenn’s wingman in Korea. Glenn says that Williams was the best pilot he ever saw. Williams may not have been a nice person, but he served his country. He also may have had the best hand/eye coordination of any recent human.
But, Marc, you could say the same about all athletes and, by simple extension, all young people, which is the same as to say everybody, at one point. Give us all a pass would you? Why thanks.
No, it could not be said for most people. The working world is set up for most careers. You can start out in the service, THEN go to college. You start out a couple years behind career-wise, but some of what you learn in the military can put you way ahead of others once you get into the working world.
Yes, it can be said for professional athletes. Yes, I think they should get a deferment. If you are signed up professionally, then you go with your limited career. When your career is done, then you serve. I think it should be the same with models. When you reach 30 and your modeling career is essentially over, then fulfill your obligations.
Gee, I feel so sorry for her. She probably makes more money in one year than I made in my life.
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
–John Stuart Mill
The real problem for people like her – no concept of loyalty to people, faith or freedom. I pity her parents.
Wow. Imagine that, a spoiled celebrity refusing to do something because she thinks she’s above it.
So… if New York is so great, does she think that IT is worth dying for?
Just asking….
I forgive her.If I was an Israeli soldier,not so much.
This article is a booby trap.
Don’t forget Muhammad Ali’s story during Vietnam.
Wow. It’s not even “ARTISTS have other needs.” It’s “celebrities.”
Our orbit in the swirling toilet bowl gets tighter and faster.
Come on…This is from “The Onion” or something like that, right ? Nobody– not even a supermodel– could really say something that stupid, could they ?
Try this story:
http://www.ihatethemedia.com/good-god-these-hollywood-buffoons-really-do-take-themselves-too-seriously
Cate Balnchett says, “We [actors] change people’s lives, at the risk of our own. We change countries, governments, history, gravity.”
Is she kidding? I would hope so, but I fear she’s pretentious enough to be serious.
So much for creative instincts. Wow, I never had her pegged for that kind of an idiot. I almost look smart next to that and so I actually appreciate her comments.
It makes me feel as if the only reason I haven’t won a Tony is cuz I don’t really want to but easily could if I did. I wonder what she hears in her echo chamber and what she thinks when she reads what she said and how people react. Does she say, “Did I really say that” or does she act like she’s the black monolith from 2001 and I’m a monkey?
“Dahling, you couldn’t possibly understand more than a mere few crumbs of what I can barely even express in words the feelings are so far above the humdrum world of people who only watch movies while I actually memorize lines and have to promote films and go on talk shows.”
“…does she act like she’s the black monolith from 2001 and I’m a monkey?”
You may not get a Tony, but I’m giving you “the Albert” for saying the funniest damned thing I’ve ever read on Mr. Gore’s Internet!
You may now give an acceptance speech until the orchestra plays you off.
PJM’s gonna play me off. They’ve already booted me off of most of the site. Guess they haven’t gotten around to this.
Some people can’t handle an ass kicking debate, vicious satire or being challenged unless it works in their favor.
In their words they love debate, humor, satire, challenging things and free speech.
In reality they don’t.
“PJM’s gonna play me off. They’ve already booted me off of most of the site. Guess they haven’t gotten around to this.”
Yeah, why Boy James? Other needs May Be?
Poor Boy Victim. You’re soooo special.
Hey, another free speech advocate – a lucky muslim version.
James, I too nominate you for the ‘Zsa Zsa-like’ impersonation of this empty vessel.
I recall 12-15 years ago Al Pacino was accepting an award at one of those, ‘Were so awesome and important we have a dozen or so award shows that says so’ and he said something like this to his brain-dead peers, ‘Were quite fortunate. Were paid handsomely in pretending to be a greater somebody else..’.
Suffice to say most of the phonies the camera panned onto looked VERY uncomfortable.
That said, anyone else looking forward to Alec Baldwin throwing his hat in the political rodeo? It’ll be ‘eggcellent’ and delicious.
“the aging boy actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.”
Lol. I will remember that one.
I predicted she would choose this life path while in a bathyscape at the bottom of the Marianas Trench in 1952 which anyone who is as insightful as I am could also easily do.
It only requires sheer arrogance, self confidence, a bathyscape and a large mid-oceanic trench.
Her attitude is a little strange considering her mother is the Israeli politician Tzipi Levine. I guess that’s how she gets away with being such a hypocrite. Her mom’s a liberal.
The Israeli politician is Tzipi Livni.
Bar Refaeli’s mother is Tzipi Levine.
I’m pretty sure they’re not the same person.
They are not the same. I didn’t know there were so many blond Tzipi Levines in Israel. I just saw a photo of her mother, the other Tzipi Levine.
Wrong Tzipi, sorry!
Um, you do realise this all happened several years ago, right?
Here’s a tip – watch out for the big oil spill in the mexican gulf. And guess who’s going to win the 2008 election? You’ll never guess. It’s not going to be hillary.
This may have happened several years ago , but the photo shoot was recent and just before Yom Hazikaron. so it does leave a bit of a sour taste.
http://newjewishmedia.com/2011/05/07/refaeli-barred-israel/
Kind of a butterface if you ask me. Wait, no, what’s the one where the face and bod are all good, but everything else if effed up? That one.
We can make sure Princess Bar’s stupidity and cowardice follows her wherever she goes.
Bar Rafaeli is so ” over ” that she will do anything for attention.
Esti Ginzburg, on the other hand, will always be beautiful, inside and out.
“In order to contribute and help, in order to be part of the State,” Ginzburg said, “enlisting is a duty, not a choice. There are a million of things I don’t feel like doing, but I do them because I have to. Military service is part of the things I believe in, the values I was raised on.”
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011_swimsuit/models/esti-ginzburg/
Well…it’s not like Israel really has a choice on mandatory military duty. considering it’s neighbors
she has ‘other needs’ ?
looks like she needs to EAT LUNCH!
I have found that the more talented ,celebrated , ne great, artist- a true artist-, or an actor is, the more humble he/she is. The nicer he is.These lower end
individuals are too stupid to know to keep quiet.Of course, their idiot status creates jobs for PR people, Managers, agents, and lawyers.Now, one knows why their hired hands keep them closed to the press, usually.
“The operative word here being “dumb.” Yes, the Bar Refaeli is immature and selfish and shallow, but more than that, she is just dumb.”
Didn’t you start off by saying she was Leo somebody’s girlfriend?
Form over here in the US I don’t begrudge her choosing not to serve, but for G_D’s sake have the decency to support those who are risking their lives for you and your family to enjoy your blessings.
NOW I realize as I enter my “wisdom years” that the old bias against “actors” had a real basis in reality. It is nothing new that the “entertainment industry” espouses behavior that the prevailing culture considers immoral – that goes back to the Greco-Roman civilizations, as well as throughout the history of places as diverse as Europe, and Asia.
When you live and work in a world of “make-believe” and “fantasy,” creating new personal realities as an “escape,” no wonder that at some point, some actually believe in it!
I absolutely hate having “celebrities” that only “played” a role for hire, be considered expert witnesses.
This is NOT to take away from those people that do the actual WORK, and have become “experts” based upon personal experiences, or had done so before “frame” caught them up.
But there is a huge difference between a “starlette tourist” visiting a refugee camp for a photo op, and a young woman giving up months to work daily at the same camp.
Israel ought to hold her for trial over the self-confessed crime.
I would like to see the Israeli government issue a standing arrest warrant for desertion/failure to show/draft evasion/whatever. If she steps foot in Israel, she goes to jail.
An officer on my brother’s ship who was a dual US/(some European country) citizen used to joke that when he got tired of the Navy he could always just walk off the ship and “go home.” At least until he got a certified letter from that country’s government telling him he was under arrest for evading his service obligation, and his only recourse was to either report for duty or renounce his () citizenship.
It is sad that this byproduct of global excess of testosterone can open her mouth to speak.
I hope that just in ten-twenty years the market of these brainless walking bodies will be completely wrecked by cheap biological clones, genetically adjusted to anatomical perfections, with optional upgrades up to Picasso level. Then, hopefully, we will start to value other qualities in people.
“…with optional upgrades up to Picasso level”
You mean the upside down noses, BIG bulging eyes, one eared, and gigantic hands!?!
That “option” would be as popular as Joy Behar in a bikini.
UPGRADE!
In my best Captain Kirk voice:
“cant..hold..vomit”
I not only agree with her, but will also assert that any country that has a military draft isn’t worth defending. Our lives belong to us, not to the state. The problem is that our leaders often have no intention of defeating the enemy decisively, don’t even really believe in the rightness of their cause, and therefore can’t make a convincing case for war. So what we end up with is compulsory service for ‘humanitarian campaigns’ and nation-building. I’ve got better things to do with my life.
I agree. Keep asserting your rights & STAY THE HE** HOME! I’d never want a self-absorbed loser like you serving in the military within 50 miles of my hero nephew.
What I’m saying is that, if you’re going to fight a war, be ready to convince people that it’s the right thing to do. A good start would be to have an intention to win. You don’t defend freedom by taking it away from draft-age kids. If I’m going to fight, I want nothing less than victory. If someone else wants to volunteer to drop food to to appease the Taliban, have at it.
Mickey:
The Second Amendment says: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Libertarians, at least the ones who believe in the Constitution at all, ways focus on the second clause and ignore the first.
The Militia is the body of the people called to arms to defend the country. The militia is not the National Guard is a volunteer standing force of part time soldiers. The US Government and your state of residence have the constitutional authority to compel you to serve in the defense of the nation. The Second Amendment is an exchange. It says you have a right to own guns but in return you have an obligation to show up when ordered under penalty of law to defend the nation.
Back in the day when the country was rural and the average citizen shot from the time he could hold a rifle the average American conscript was as skilled a marksman as any professional solider in Europe. SGT York was nothing special. The WWI doughboys were full of SGT Yorks. Today, few soldiers have ever picked up a rifle other in “Call of Duty” before they enlisted.
I disagree with your analysis of the 2d Amendment. We didn’t have a draft in this country until the Civil War. It wasn’t reinstated until WWII. After WWII presidents used the draft to send tens of thousands of men to die in Korea and Vietnam, with no intention of securing victory. The purpose of th U.S. military is to protect American lives. That includes the lives of soldiers, who in the 20th century were too often sacrificed for nothing.
It is not a draft. It is a conscript service. More invasive, if you will, than a draft.
Demographics made this a necessity for Israel. A country vastly outnumbered in population, compared to its enemies, simply had no other choice.
Volunteer military in the US is possible because of great wealth and large population with little threat to our actual homes and lives. Nobody here has experienced anything like what Israel faces every day on home turf.
So near all Israelis are potential soldiers or active reserve. Needing everyone, issues about women or gays was of less importance. Service there does not press people to do what they are not suited for. There are more than enough who apply to the top combat or other vital postings.
Upside is that for many young people there spent a few years where they get much better experience, contacts, and training than working at Subway. That has helped the Israel economy. It has helped ability for Israel to be a world leader in highly educated workforce.
So for Israel this is OK. Not suggesting the US should do the same thing. Very different circumstances.
So, are you saying that, if they weren’t conscripted, Israeli men and women wouldn’t defend what they have? It seems that, if your life and property were sacred in your country, you would defend them jealously against those who would take them away form you.
I am saying that such defense would not be effective.
I am not talking about the 9mm under the pillow here.
Israel maintains some full time military with a larger reserve force. This must be ready to go at any time. That is a disadvantage in some respects. The 1973 Golan war was near lost for Israel because of that. Takes time and economic political cost to mobilize reserves.
Yet Israel prevailed there. You can go and see the valley of tears now in the Golan.
Sure they would die for their country, but that is not goal. Better they should live for it.
Gotta disagree with your agreement. Whether you like their policies, the Israelis definitely have a need for every citizen to serve if he or she is able. Their population is too small to rely on an all-volunteer force – especially when their hostile neighbors also have mandatory service (i.e., conscripts).
If you limit your objection to the United States, then I might agree with you. I would not willingly put my life in the hands of the U.S. government – not the current administration nor any administration since the end of WWII. The Draft is supposed to be when “your country calls.” In reality, it’s no longer your country calling – it’s a bunch of horrible, foolish old politicians who want to send you off on some stupid foreign adventure where your life gets squandered because they don’t know how to fight a war. Only people who WANT to be subjected to that treatment, should be.
Celebrities are part of the rising new nobility. The world was a much more sane place when actors, singers, etc. were in the same social strata as whores.
Why does the media insist on inflicting these people on us? If I wanted People magazine, I’d buy it. This is not news. These are people who get paid a lot of money to pretend to be someone. Most of them believe that makes them someone.
Jimmy the Saint nailed it. When did whores become an acceptable subject of conversation?
I do not know if I would be so hard on whores.
I think that since we’ve adopted the sybaritic atitudes of our pagan ancestors, then we should revive some pagan rituals:
After a few years of fame and fortune, celebrities should be sacrificed and eaten. After all, there are many struggling actors as talented and beautiful as those on top now, just waiting for an opportunity to replace them.
We could time these rituals to coincide with Spring Break.
A Liberal is a Liberal by any other name. I wouldn’t give a Liberal celebrity the time of day. To me they’re taking up space on God’s great Earth.
The real problem is that so much of Israel fawns over Bar Rafaeli. She appears in advertisements and fashion campaigns; Tourism minister Yitschak Herzog, an otherwise intelligent man, had her representing Israeli tourism and when she and ‘boyfriend’ DiCaprio visit the paparazzi and chattering class (in Israel as in America and the UK virtually 100% from the Left)go wild.
She’s a Jew. That pretty much says it all.
Um… isn’t just about everyone else in that country a Jew? So then they’re all draft-dodgers? Then then must have no military, right?
You’re a lackwit, that pretty much says it all.
Really?
I’d be evry interested to know exactly what the hell you mean by this.
Why don’t you explain it to us all.
You asshole.
This woman’s considered a ‘supermodel’? I thought supermodels are supposed to have at the very least, hips.
This woman has 10 year old boy hips.
Gimme a Selma Hayek circa-1998 bod any day over this skeletor-like frame.
Her thoughts are somewhat confused, but she isn’t a threat to Israel. She is also a tad ungrateful. She is spoiled. This is why, not that she is dumb, that she said the things she said. That said, I repeat, she is not a threat to Israel.
I say above confused because he discounts the sex appeal value of herself in military gear. Not important, just saying.
And she isn’t that vain. She did give up the prospect of frolicking in bed with hundreds of Israeli soldiers. She is playing with a concept. The last thing people think of prostitutes, esp good looking ones, is that it is a job.
Are there any smart super models?
