1. She will find a tall handsome Arab to marry
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.23.12)
And gave birth to both Israeli-arab babies.
2. Safety of citizens? Live in peace?
right-wing   (11.23.12)
How dare she? Has this woman no shame?
3. Refieli
MAF ,   UK   (11.23.12)
Refieli's critics need to grow up. There was nothing inappropriate in what the girl said and nothing disloyal either. If only her wishes could come true, if only.
4. Noa Tishby is a true patriot unlike Refaeli
Alex   (11.23.12)
Bar is playing along with biased media to save her public life, if she had any back bones she'd tweet in solidarity with the residents of south condemning Hamas who's responsible for the conflict. She's playing in the hands of the enemy.
5. RE:
Sophie-David ,   Israel   (11.23.12)
She feels like many other israeli and non -israeli citizens. Why need to boycott her?
6. Why hasn't she been drafted
Mordechai   (11.23.12)
We know she lied to get out of the draft so revoke her exemption and give her a draft notice and is she doesn't show up arrest her. And the US has an extradition treaty with Israel so she can't hide there
7. Israelis are lunatics these days
Adam   (11.24.12)
Amazing--what kind of lunacy has overtaken Israelis and Jews these days? Apparently wishing for peace and for the safety of innocent civilians makes her a bad person? What has happened to Israel?
8. Commenters have gone crazy
Eyal   (11.24.12)
Refaeli does the most patriotic thing by praying that our civilians won't get hurt and that our soldiers will not hurt civilians on the side of the enemy. What makes us better than them is that we do not want to hurt civilians. Luckily the IDF is not ruled by talkbacks, but by people with a brain AND a heart.
9. This is so lame
Laura ,   Italy   (11.24.12)
that someone would get upset about her message
10. Bar Rafaeli
Helene ,   Merkaz   (11.24.12)
I don't understand this rage against Bar Rafaeli! Not all israelis are left, or right, or religious, or atheist..... so why would all Palestinians be terrorists? Normal citizens on both sides want to live in peace. Why this hate against Bar, because she is beautiful, succesful, and loved in Israel and abroad ??!! Envy is a malignant disease
11. # 6
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.24.12)
She is too old to serve now. As she is most unpopular here she will eventually leave Israel.
12. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.24.12)
Read # 4 who explains your question perfectly.
13. # 3
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.24.12)
You would not understand in 100 years why we Israelis are bashing Bar. She should be more patriotic & support Israel & the IDF without mentioning the other side who want to push us into the sea, grab our land & destroy our land of Israel. Bar cares only about one thing, herself & how much $$ she can make by showing off her body & opening her stupid mouth. We dont need her pretty face here. She contributes nothing.
14. I agree with Bar's position along with #7, #10.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.24.12)
People on both sides of the conflict want to live in peace, want to make sure their children will survive and thrive. Many Israelis commenting on this board have forgotten their humanity, lost their ability to think and feel like normal human beings around the world. The commentator writing #11, #12, and #13 is like that; shame on him.
15. Last Israel/Gaza turmoil has caused a lot
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.24.12)
of anger on both sides - I am thinking Israelis (esp. in South) are very angry at outcome of the last 2 weeks. Add to that the PTSS from rockets, fear and stress and you get more anger. That anger will be taken out on anyone (like Bar Rafaeli). People should focus their anger on the government and bring about change in two months during elections. Instead of passive anger - proactive anger.
16. bar refaeli
doreen ,   israel   (11.24.12)
Only the fact that Bar Refaeli is a model should be enough not to open her mouth. If she wants to mean something to the world, she should first of all change her profession, which to my opinion puts women down. Start at home, Bar.
17. while ms raphaeli may not be the
Meghan ,   Ashdod Israel   (11.25.12)
brightest spark in the fire, a few here are also dead bulbs in the chandalier. you dont have to be a lefty by wanting it good for civilians, and there are many in Gaza that are also against conflict with Israel. So poor old Bar with her basically good intentions fall hard, because we were all in this euphoria while under attack. I also admit to saying, "flatten Gaza" while running for shelter and seeing the kids so scared, but had to get real and think that not all are Hamas supporters. Actually world peace would be nice, but any clear thinking person knows thats never going to happen. Lets take the opportunity to thank all the artists that entertained us at a bad time, they boosted the moral, and they havent run off to the USA....
18.  STOP THE BAR BASHING
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (11.25.12)
Bar Rafaeli merely expressed an opinion ,she wants peace and quiet .Nothing wrong in that. She is not to blame nor responsible for the recent conflict in Gaza and rocket fire against Israel. Why is it that Shimon Peres can express exactly the same sentiments as Bar and he is lauded and applauded but she gets castigated ?
19. if this is "controversial" to you
european   (11.25.12)
then you are a sicker society than we previously thought.
20. Stop acting like radical Islam...!!
Cohen,Israel   (11.25.12)
Israelis want to boycott her for wishing peace and safety for both sides...??? You really want to turn Israel into Hezbholla style...??? So why the hell are we fighting against them if you act exactly like they do...??
21. #7
Steve ,   Dallas USA   (11.26.12)
No, the question should be what happened to the West. During WW2, the home front in the US did not pray for peace, and for the safety of German civilians, they prayed for victory. Israel thank heaven is still sane. The West, represented by people like yourself, is suicidal.
22. Bar's contribution
Michael Piston ,   New York, USA   (12.02.12)
Bar contributes a spirit of decency and compassion to Israel, which from the tone of many of the comments here, appears to be strongly needed.
23. #21
Germany ,   Berlin   (12.05.12)
The Germans didn't pray for the safety of the Warsaw Ghetto jews when the leveled Warsaw block by block. Wonderful examples you zionists prefer to follow.
