She should do 2 years of national service or have her Israeli citizenship revoked. I didn't know that all that was needed to dodge the army was a set of major league yavahoos!

I don't understand why Bar used to advertise for anything in Israel. This women is nothing but a self-hating Jewish bimbo. Has Bar ever apologized for her despicable remarks against Israel? NO! Boycott Bar always!

...but at least she is working and paying taxes, which is more than I can say about a lot of Jews who don't serve -- and are collecting welfare and ADC to boot! Anyway, some of us have been careful with water all our lives -- not just this year, and not just the past, what is it? The last four years of drought? The governments have been 100% at fault for not legislating new and enforcing the current water saving regulations. I've seen City Halls in Israel with vast gardens of water thirsty flowering plants in front of them!

The following is a quote from the Wikipedia: "In 2007, Refaeli became a source of controversy when it became known that she had evaded military service, mandatory for Israeli citizens over 18-years-old, by marrying a family acquaintance and divorcing him soon after.[19] Refaeli stated in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, "I really wanted to serve in the IDF, but I don't regret not enlisting, because it paid off big-time," further adding, "Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn't it better to live in New York City?"[19] Refaeli has since said the interview didn't accurately reflect her statements and threatened to file a lawsuit for libel.[20] Consequently, the Israeli Forum for the Promotion of Equal Share in the Burden threatened to boycott the fashion chain Fox if they hired Refaeli, but the two sides reached a compromise in which the model agreed to visit injured IDF soldiers on visits to Israel and encourage enlistment in the army." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_Refaeli I don't see anything about hating Israel and many Israelis do live outside of our little country. One good thing about Bar is that it does not take much water to wash her clothes! One might ask Israel Channel 2 why they allowed Marina Maximillian Blumin to star in one of the Dance shows on that channel about 2 weeks ago after her draft dodgery was exposed? Israelis have very short memories but no shorter than most! The bottom line is that not Bar Rafaeli nor the Messiah can solve the water crisis which has been brought about by the total mismanagement of Israel's water resources by the Water Company, Mekorot (the second hight paid bunch of no goods in the land), governments past and present and the treasury. Israel pioneered desalination and we export the technology but we use "dillidalliation" instead!

She's the last person to be trying to educate us.

Since when do those doing public service announcements get paid, let alone "tens of thousands of shekels"? If she's getting paid, she's not doing public service; she's just giving the campaign a discount. I did volunteer work with Sar-El on an IDF military base a few months ago. I received only room and board, and I paid my own travel expenses. I didn't expect to get paid for my service.

...than is used for koshering a chicken -- and no salt goes into the water table from removing makeup, either! Actually, very few women remove makeup with soap and water -- they use various non-soap products on a tissue.

She stated that she is telling all her friends that Israel is a place to be avoided, and not to go because essentially, the people are crap.

I don't care if she is a self-hating Israeli or a draft dodger. I wonder if she will date non-Jewish men like that other Israeli Miss World who was going with that Latvian basketball star?

Since you were so busy condemning Israel on Israeli web sites, it must have escaped your attention that Bar Rephaeli was in fact dating Leonardo diCaprio.

Least she could do for her country!

It's good that Bar Refaeli did not do national service. She would probably have spent the time making tea and coffee for officers and given her exceptional beauty, would have been at high risk of being sexually harassed or worse.

I like this photo of Bar i na dress. Coincidentally, I spent half an hour this afternoon in a supermarket checking out the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition wit Bar on the front cover. She looks great - vulnerable and sexy. In the inside pages though she looks even better - with a sophisticated expression which sets her apart from most of the other girls who also look pretty good. I am old enough to be her father but hey females in swimsuits are always great to look at, especially on the beach. More power to Bar and hope she helps save water in Tel Aviv - maybe she can help here in L.A. where the DWP (dept. of water andf power) are urging us to save water and they have 'waterbusters' who issue tickets for illegal watering habits! Hurry up Bar, we need you.

Why are you constantly writing about that stupid broad? She should be promoting hot air and not water conservation. It seems whoever denigrates Israel becomes a star with Ynet

MANY times that I've noted a really virulently anti-religious talkback...why it's been from you, Dorothy. Why? This is not even a religiously-related article, nor did anyone even bring UP any subject about religion or kosher, etc......so what is the chip on your shoulder from, hon???? Yikes! I'm an Orthodox/Haredi lady and I don't try to impose my views on others, I'm a nice person. I don't know who did what to you that you have such a seeming hatred for anything even tangentially Haredi, but you are welcome to meet me and hopefully change some of that around. Come visit us in Elad for Shabbat, you're invited. Seriously. In the meantime, try not to carry around so much aggravation, it's just not healthy. Let it gooooo.

An astute ad campaign just needs to show the desert around Israel to emphasis what a lack of water can produce----and as far as public service announcements, in the USA celebrities do them for free,,,and as far as Ms Refeali, I have yet to hear an interview in which she promotes Israel,,,

And as we know, most of them are clueless.

I'm just a guy who loves beautiful women no matter where they come from. Bar Rafeali is a beautful woman. As far as your comment about me bing a clueless Islamist you are wrong again. I have no hate for anyone or any creed or any religion. I only hate injustice. What I see happening to the Palestinian people is clearly unfair. The bottom line is that nothing that happened to Jews in the past can justify what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people now. Israel has two choices, either a free contiguous viable Palestinian state or a single state with equal rights and opportunities for all the people, be they Jew, Muslim, Christian, agnostic, atheist, white, black, brown, Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Beduin, Druze, gay, straight, male or female. If Israel wants peace do that. To do anything less will only bring misery to all concerned. That is the truth.

most have doollars .it has effect on you also

and her rehabilitation is being one of the most beautiful women in the world doing PS messages. Good deal for everyone.

The Arab Fakestinians occupiers want to kill the Jews and destroy Israel. There won't be peace until the Arab invadors recognize Israel and go back to their homeland of Arabia!

Bar never apologized for her attack on Israel and the IDF. She's nothing but a spoiled rich girl who hates being Jewish and Israeli. Bar is disgusting!

She's associated with several volunteer programs in Israel and threatened a law suit when her prior statements about Israel were taken out of context. She's one of the top models in the world but remains connected to Israel by choice.

So quick to take sides are you, you hear one story and decide to lynch one of your own??? How you cry when it's done to you. Not to slander your neighbour is one of the 10 commandments. Gossip is a big NO, NO in the Torah as well. Have a look at this story and them have a long hard look in the mirror, if you can. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/911936.html Luv you Bar

BE HERE IN JERUSALEM THEN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT UNLESS YOU ARE OBAMA YOU CAN TELL IT FROM USA .HIHI FRIEND IAM SHOSHO FROM JERUSALEM I LIKE TO LIVE IN PEACE HERE IN JERUSALEM WITH JEWS AND CHRISTIAN IAM MOSLEM AND ARABY .IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT THIS IS MY DECISION BYBYBY

Bar is on tape making those anti-Israel comments. That is why Bar and her family dropped the lawsuit against Ynet. She also said a lot of terrible comments against Israel in the British magazine "Tatler." Bar said she hated Israel and didn't care about Israelis. Bar is nothing but a spoiled snob. Attacking Israel and the IDF while young Israeli boys were getting killed in the Lebanon war was despicable to say the least. Bar should be spitted on when she walks the streets of Israel. Bar wants to be a Christian like her lover German Christian Leonardo Dicaprio. She celebrates Christian holidays like Easter and Christmas while never celebrating Jewish holidays. Bar should convert to Christianity because she's an embarrassment to Judaism. It doesn't need an airhead trampy bimbo like Bar.

Under Israeli law, if you live less then 183 days in the country and don't own homes then you DO NOT have to file income tax returns. Get real # 3..she doesn't pay a cent here!!!

whether you like it or not. Must say, she's better material than any muslim female, period. No wonder they bag up their females in black baggies. Bar, on the other hand, is beautiful, she was born that way, semi naked, or fully dressed. An unlikely representative but admired universally. Offer up a retired IDF female to compare, dare ya! Or, how about Miss Gaza in a bikini? Preferably, a live one.

Do you have women in Norway who 'should have done it for free?' Not one model I know works for free. It's her living. Obviously the state has enough respect for her that they hired her so, seems she has more approval than yours, who "wants it for free." They paid their decision. They got one of the loveliest women in the world, A JEWESS!
