62. # 53 Really?
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.18.13)
I am Jew and have blonde hair and blue eyes.. Recall Paul Newman? We come in all colors. Sammy Davis Jr.
63. # 55michel, We Americans have obama
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.18.13)
he doesn't welcome Jewish values either...
64. After all: she's an Israeli- born piece of Prime Rib!
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.18.13)
65. Is the only criterion as a representative being famous?
nibor ,   israel   (03.18.13)
I am not Haredi, and it's not that she did not serve in the army, and it's not even the anti-Israeli statements she made publicly concerning Israel at that time. Why is she considered to be good representative of Israel? Because she's not a fat, ugly yenta? Surely, there must be other criterion besides fame and money. Can't we find some real Israeli youth we would like to be representative of Israel all over the world? Kind, smart young people, who have plans, who are doing inventive things, who really do care about Israel?
66. But as a Jewish Girl...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (03.19.13)
....she always have the opportunity to fix mistakes and to become an excelent person. Social delusion is a sickness. She has all a woman can have ,therefore she does not need to play such games. I am sorry for her and I wish her all the best and I apologize for my too harsh words.
67. To #62
Moshe   (03.19.13)
Paul Newman had a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother. Sammy Davis Jr had a reform conversion. So neither of them was halachaly Jewish!!
68. Unpatriotic statements?
Dan   (03.19.13)
Saying she wishes no harm should come to innocents on BOTH sides is unpatriotic? Get your head examined, you stupid nitwit!!
69. So, where's the 'new face'? Until you folks get a much
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.19.13)
prettier face, leave Bar alone.
70. Bar is pretty, but....
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (03.19.13)
...give me Tzipi Hotovely any day! Beautiful, intelligent, modest & observant. If I had to pick a Jewess to represent Israel, she'd be at the top of the list.
71. in this case the haredi are 101% right in their attitude
zionist forever   (03.19.13)
Bar Rafeli is probably the only person who loves themselves more than Lapid does. She dodged the army and her reason was: CELEBRATIES HAVE OTHER NEEDS. I HOPE MY CASE HAS INFLUENCED THE ARMY Her fans who also moan about the haredi not serving in the army should not treat her as a special case just because she wears a swim suit rather than a shtriamel. At least haredi who don't want to go into the army do it because they want to study Torah not because they just want to strut their stuff to get rich. It would be disgusting to have a woman who she doesn't care about the country and only her body and the size of her bank account as an official representative. Let her represent the people who love only themselves. POST NUMBER 20 WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME
72. After her stupid superbowl ad
Isabella1709 ,   Tampa USA   (03.19.13)
I doubt she would be a very positive symbol of Israel. Better one of the lovely young women and men in the IDF.
73. she only returned to israel because she...
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (03.19.13)
....couldn't get modeling gigs in the States anymore. She is NOT very hot,and she has no aptitude for moving up in the biz to a management level.
74. 66.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.22.13)
Bar may be loaded with money, pray tell, who keeps her warm at night? Dont you think she gets lonely in her huge TA apartment, at night? I bet Bar would love to meet Mr.Right,settle down & have many little Bars running around! Dont feel sorry for her, Keren, she knew exactly what she was doing when she left Israel for her profession as a model. Her father is her manager, older & wiser than she was, at the time, knew that being a draft-dodger would catch up with his daughter, at some stage. I do pity her if she was a drug-addict in her past & do admit she is still a beauty.Whether she would be good material to represent Israel, I have my doubts.
75. Bar
david ,   jerusalem   (08.29.14)
I dont think she is Jewish
