61. She is smart
Kudo ,   Chicago   (10.07.07)
She is smart to stay out of the military.
62. She's going to be outta work and here's why!!
Josh B   (10.07.07)
She obviously doesn't understand what she said or where she is. Most of Hollywood and the fashion industry is Jewish. They may not be orthodox practicing Jews but they sure as hell love Israel. There is know chance that she is going to get a shot working in Hollywood. Know Jewish director wants his name associated with hers. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets blacklisted and comes back to Israel begging on her knees and broke!!!
63. Refaeli Strikes Again
ktw ,   Washington, DC   (10.07.07)
The Proverbs teach that 'the fool who keeps his mouth shut is esteemed wise." Her mouth is inclusive, and, well, she's opened it and removed all doubts. Indeed, she is a living lesson of truth.
64. LET HER STAY AWAY.WHO CARES?
arieh ,   new york   (10.07.07)
65. Not just unpatriotic
TA Adams ,   OKC, OK, USA   (10.07.07)
She's a spoiled little brat.
66. A Beautiful Woman
Jack ,   USA   (10.07.07)
Not sure how you were brought up, but I was raised in NYC and I was taught you don't talk or allow anyone else to talk bad about friends or family. Especially, when her words play into the hands of the antisemite media in another country. You have somthing to say you say it amongst and to your own.
67. Spoiled Israeli
Melvin Leppla ,   Jacksonville USA   (10.07.07)
Bar Refaeli, appears nothing more than a spoiled conceited elitist snob, who feels it is fashionable and chic to degrade Israel and those who fought for freedom. If the masses in Israel are to foul for Ms. Refaeli may be she should try Iran or Syria as her new forwarding address.
68. Refaeli
Ben ,   USA   (10.07.07)
Why devote article to one of the beautiful people who is vapid? Clearly, everyone exists to serve her needs, including the annoying little people. Lets face it, Israel is not cool, so don't expect nice comments from bimbo. Ben
69. Bar Bar Black Sheep
Kate ,   London, UK   (10.07.07)
70. At least she shows consistency.
Johnny Fensepost   (10.07.07)
Had she not given a similar interview before her departure, I could make excuses that she is just a bimbo unprepared for having her remarks taken out of context by an Israeli-hostile English press. But now it appears she is showing an ugly pattern. Nevertheless, she will inevitably be the looser. When she becomes too old for her profession, she will be discarded as just another pretty-faced Jew.
71. Bar
Ed ,   Los Angeles   (10.07.07)
Her name is Bar, because that's where she was concieved! Skank!
72. Bar Refaeli
Mark Woodrow ,   Portland, Oregon, US   (10.07.07)
I guess my country doesn't have ALL the shallow, airhead elite snobs. The people of Israel should turn their backs on this pampered brat.
73. When She's Older And Wrinkled
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (10.07.07)
Israelis have long memories and when this infantile, prima donna comes back home, having been replaces by younger and prettier girls, she will regret her words. Bar dear, you were given looks but clearly not a lot of grey matter, so do the world a favor. Strut the runway and keep your mouth shut.
74. #56, Tom
israeli ,   israel   (10.07.07)
No-one raised her. They just let her grow up like a wild (bar in Hebrew) weed.
75. The hate in these talkbacks is scary
JG   (10.07.07)
Evidently none of you have ever done something stupid when you were young. She's 22 and says the same things I've heard from countless kids her age and older. Her mistake is saying it to a foreign publication, but the Israeli press has baited her and openly claimed that they will punish her due to their own failure to get a picture or interview of her and Leo. For that matter, she had the guts to say it in Yediot, and she isn't folding or recanting or claiming that her words were taken out of context, like many of the politicians and religious figures who routinely say stupid things in the press.
76. BAR...
Phocus ,   Prescott, AZ USA   (10.07.07)
Let's see, someone is born with a pretty face, and so we take pictures. We pay her a lot of money just to let us take those pictures. Mouth closed, standing just right...ah perfect. Then she opens her mouth and because she is beautiful, we think she is also intelligent...smart. We print her words as if they mean something...they don't. We think she is smart...she's not. She is pleasing to the eye, but dumb as a post. Thinking people...turn the page.
77. Bar/ Hollywood here we come
LA ,   Phoenix, USA   (10.07.07)
Sound's like she is a perfect addition to Hollywood . . . brainless, outspoken without regard, self absorbed, all equals CA actress . . . Send her here, she'll be a hit in LA
78. SHE MARRIED A GOY, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT
HER SOUL IS CRYING ,   ..............DACON9   (10.07.07)
79. Who?
Dave ,   Austin, Texas   (10.07.07)
She's famous? For what? And why does she think her existence is relevant? Israel's Paris Hilton, maybe? I feel sorry for folks like this.
80. Bar's Tirade
NYC Girl   (10.07.07)
How ironic that this self-absorbed twit chose a British tabloid to spew her venom toward the Israeli paparazzi who she seems to think are the most loathsome creatures on earth. I just wonder how many of the paparazzi who chased down Princess Diana's car were Israeli? If none of them were, then perhaps they aren't the worst of the lot, after all.
81. Refaeli strikes again
Dominique ,   Kfar Saba   (10.07.07)
I have never seen such a small country so proud of it's "famous" people - how about showing some respect to your fellow countrymen who support you...
82. I'd rather read about an actual pub
Elliott ,   Tel Aviv   (10.07.07)
Why can't Israelis, or any country for that matter, get it through their heads that models and actors shouldn't be asked about anything but modeling and acting? This woman's "job" is to stand around and be photographed in someone else's clothes, and holding someone else's creations. Who cares about anything she has to say? Anyone? If you do, what a pity. She is easy on the eyes, and for that (and only that) she will get my attention from time to time. As for what comes out of her mouth, we'd all be better off if people stopped printing her pearls of 'wisdom' and instead listened to people that actually matter.
83. Pc. of trash
Arie Vinograd ,   FLORIDA   (10.07.07)
Why are you publishing articles like that who cares what she think. You can see the influence of her boy freind DeCaprio another leftist trash
84. BAR
Haim ,   Herzlia, Israel   (10.07.07)
A VERY SAD IMATURE SELF -HATING JEW.
85. #4 Josh
Martin   (10.07.07)
Wow, Josh, you really need to read Dr. Levin's book "The Oslo Syndrome." Both you and Rafaeli are clearly sufferers. When a Jew believes that the solution to being given a black eye by non-Jews is for the Jew to change his or her behavior, s/he is demonstrating clear evidence of this mental condition. Do you really think the paparazzi in Italy (where pinching the buttocks of women is an art form) treat beautiful models any differently? Your comments about the "many" who "show no class and have low class habits" (I presume you mean Jews) demonstrates that you also have a very high level of discomfort with your own people. That is truly sad. Where do you think you will find better people? England? France? Spain? United States? Iran? You really think they don't urinate in the streets in those countries? (BTW, Josh, "urinate" is the "high class" word for the very low class language you use). You think nobody else in the world puts their feet up on the furniture or picks their nose? Rafeaeli isn't really uncomfortable with Israeli paparazzi because they are paparazzi, but because they are Jews. She is offended that they expect her to stop for them because, in her very disturbed mind, they are demonstrating a belief in an ethnic kinship with her that she prefers to deny. That's why she is dating a non-Jew. That's why she looking to move to Los Angeles? Because it is city where she will be able to find a vast number of vapid, self-absorbed, narcissistic people, including many anti-Zionist Jews/Israelis. Pehaps, you would be more comfortable there, too.
86. Ynet's fascination with Rafaeli
Martin ,   Boston, MA   (10.07.07)
This woman is proof that beauty is only skin deep. If she came in a less attractive package, would you still give her so much "print"?
87. How Sad
Paul ,   USA   (10.07.07)
This woman is like many celebs who at the height of their fame, think they are too good for the common people. Once her star has dimmed, she will will be begging to be hounded by the press. We have the same sort of thing here in America, people talking badly about their country after enjoying the freedoms it has given them. I would love to move to Israel but I am not allowed. I still love it from afar. What is most sad to me is that this woman was born in a land of miracles and she dismisses it publically. Israel...the symbol of hope and joy to millions all over the world. Such a tiny nation with a beacon as bright as the sun. Israel foerever! Amen.
88. #75, JG
israeli ,   israel   (10.07.07)
Are you in a position to affirm that Yediot is not Israeli press?
89. keep Bar Refaeli, we don't need her
Garu Moppas ,   Austin, Tx USA   (10.07.07)
What a spoiled prima donna brat! Please keep her, we have Paris, Nicole, Brittney, and way too many others. It's sad that because of physical appearance only such trash gets to be famous.
90. bar
adi ,   ramle   (10.07.07)
just dont pay attention to such girls.. keep her where she is and send her family to her... such big shots... pride will take her to downfall... amen
