alive in lebanon to capture Israeli soldiers. You do not have to hide behind the skirts of olmert,perez and halutz. zippy the pinhead will be history by the next election.
9. What a bunch of morons here
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.03.09)
Yes she may not have a tough service, but that is still a lot better than most of Tel-Aviv. As for serving one's country it is an honor and privilege. Good for her.
10. To #8: next war i advise you to run as fast as u can to Gaza
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.02.09)
cause afula is in the range of hizbullah rockets and beg the poor starved palestenians of Gaza to hide you there so u can cover ur a**

12. As a Canadian, like Talkbacker Rich
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod + Edmonton   (10.03.09)
from Toronto, I can identify with his (Rich's) need for such a level of comfort and security as Canada affords him. As an Israeli, however, I can tell readers without a doubt that few Canadians have any understanding whatsoever of what goes on in and around Israel and rather than continuing to make ignorant remarks (as Rich from Toronto habitually does), it would be better for him and all of us were he to remain silent and try to learn something from out of his immediate safe context.

15. Good For Her!!
Christy ,   Boston, US   (10.08.09)
It's great to see people who have a sense of honor and duty to their country. Many of us would be living in a very different world had it not been for men and women who did their duty and protected our various countries. The freedoms we have are guaranteed by men and women who are willing to fight for those freedoms. Most of our freedoms come via a bunch of someones' blood. All the someones who were willing to stand and fight for those freedoms. Will the other model, who decided NOT to serve, have some sort of fine or whatever imposed on her? She should have.
16. army service
Jay Morris ,   Ramat Hashofet, Isr.   (12.31.09)
In general I agree with and respect her for serving in the army. However the fact that somebody does not serve in the army does not necessarily make one less of an Israeli. Some people are not suited for the army because of psychological problems or religious beliefs. They should be required to do some sort of alternative service.
17. Bravo
Noa ,   Israel   (01.07.10)
Glad to have you on our side
18. to kill ? what r u talking about?
baa   (05.28.13)
she just did what all the girls do in the idf - nothing, she came mainly for the record.. but she stood and brought gifts to new soldiers..
