‘Dodging IDF paid off big time’

In interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, Israeli model Bar Refaeli slams Israel, announces move to Los Angeles, says has no regrets regarding dodging army service

It all started a while back, when top model Bar Refaeli said she had no intention of bringing more of her famous friends to Israel, and announced she was entertaining the idea of relocating to Los Angeles.

Well, now it’s final. In an interview for a special holiday magazine in Yedioth Ahronoth, Refaeli declared that she was moving to the city of angels.

In her interview, the Israeli model said she was not against army service, even though she never enlisted, having married an acquaintance to evade the draft. The couple was soon divorced.

“I really wanted to serve in the IDF, but I don’t regret not enlisting, because it paid off big time,” she said. “That’s just the way it is, celebrities have other needs. I hope my case has influenced the army.

“Israel or Uganda, what difference does it make? It makes no difference to me. Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn’t it better to live in New York? Why should 18-year-old kids have to die? It’s dumb that people have to die so that I can live in Israel,” Refaeli added.

It isn't. Like George C. Scott said, you want to make other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

No, it's reality.

Actually, it's a real shame that many HAVE died to allow this vacuous bitch to be born and live. The sacrifices of others, far more deserving of life, have given this idiot the freedom to choose to move away from Israel.

It is a tremendous irony. Jews who are polite, erudite, respectable and upright people in other nations .... Hell, most of the LA celebrity gang that she will be a part of, don't even do this much -- they are nasty, arrogant liberals all the time.

re; # 21

Its one helluva lot better than being a cruddy leech, protected by the patriotic courageous, and dying comfortably in bed after being an damned draft-dodging coward all you life. If you don't want to do what is necessary to protect your country, shut up and get the hell out of it. You gain only the well deserved contempt of decent people by bad mouthing it.

Her argument is pathetic, but I can see that she would be innocent in any courtroom. ;)

"...Inhibitions go right out the window in Israel. Prostitution there is grotesque and repulsive...."

I understand white slavery (sexual slavery) is still practised there, and there is no specific law against it.

Losing the silicon bags would do the trick.
