They are definitely up there with the scandinavians

"There is nothing HOTTER then an 18 year old girl in uniform with an M-16 that knows how to use it" that's why I married one 26 years ago and have been happy ever since,,, But then Hell she can shoot as well as I can! I'll take the woman that can field strip an UZI in a sexy nightgown anyday over a priss that never had to carry one! plus there is the benifit of no stone throwers on our block ;-)

Absolutely beautiful! Who needs testosterone supplements when you can come to Ynet and read a splendid article like this one?! Benji...the truth? I'm on my way to T.A.! Benji...I MEAN IT!

LOL -----> "T-shirt with English words which are inappropriate, make no sense, or are sexually suggestive. (Seriously, people here are obsessed with English and put on articles of clothing with a complete cluelessness about what they say. I saw a Russian grandmother wearing a shirt that said “Pimping Ain’t Easy”. Well, not with a walker it ain’t, grandma! These are your golden years! Take a load off!)" That is soooo true!!!

But the women on walking on the streets were more modestly dressed. Maybe the beach is where he saw the skimpy clothes, but he said Rothschild Street. Maybe those women jump beind the bushes when the buses come down that street which is how I saw it.

He writes more about all of this stuff in his blog - it's hilarious. Plus - he does stand up too - check his website for details.

and heaven knows we need to laugh. No better export from Israel than humor. If nothing else, we do know how to laugh at ourselves. Even Rivkah was 'moderate' this time, hoo ya!

Actually, a lot of Israeli guys don't exactly qualify as what you describe as "white men." And many of the ones whose families originally came from Arab countries do prefer women who are more curvaceous.

right before they are murdered in cold blood in an "honor killing' by their own relatives for being gay. They leave lovely corpses. Don't take my word for it - why don't you and husband Hassan stroll hand in hand in "Ramallah" or any arab neighborhood in Jerusalem! Naive idiot, you.

Just for the record, I never mentioned the word "skinny" in this column. I said all Israelis are hot! Also, I'm not white. I'm Temeni. It's hard to tell from the picture.

Only her own spoiled self. While her peers were sweating serving in the IDF, she was sweating in the Carribean, taking photos for the SI swimsuit issue, making millions of $, and advancing her career. She later was interviewed, saying she doesn't belong in Israel, she doesn't need Israel at all, and as far as she's concerned, we could have settled in Uganda instead. Also, she is a big snob, and never liked to mingle with Israelis, at least not ordinary ones who are not millionaires. And SHE'S the model that the ministry of tourism picked for the Israel's tourism campaign in America? What bad taste.

kol hakavod on the article.

You are talking at such a small percentage of women, usually the teenagers or young people. A larger precentage of women are average size, age, and in the looks department not the "model type". You can find that anywhere in the world..Italy, Spain ect... Funny how most Israeli men prefer non Israeli women... I find this article rather

sexist is not very "in" in Ah!merica is it? Cause if it were, you'd still be there peddling this unpleasant paka paka! But hey! welcome to Israel...and be careful hot babes here usually have military training and if you annoy them with your sexist baloney they will definitely take a shot back at ya! :)

i agree, i would never walk around in 1) 4 days’ worth of scruff 2) Baggy Thai fisherman’s pants and 3) T-shirt with English words which are inappropriate. those are the most ridiculous outfits ever and the israeli's that where them look like idiots. and no, it is not cool to look like an idiot.

Benji has an uncanny knack for exposing the hard hitting truths in this country! Not only are Israeli women gorgeous, they love us American boys. I try to lure my brother over here all the time by saying Ïll teach you 10 hebrew words and they'll love you right away" it's great!

Great reading material! Looking forward for your show in JER tonight!

And better not to talk about the Jerusalemite fashion which consists in making ulgly every nice girl or man. Modesty doesn' mean lack of taste !!

you made me laugh. Insightful and clever.

why dont you speak for yourself jealous girl? me & all of my friends are more then proud of bar refaeli ! she brings pride to israel all over the world !! stuped jealous you!!

Benji's uniquely funny perspectives on life in the Holy (and not-so-Holy) Land is a welcome addition to Ynet. Bring him back often (and make sure he's paid appropriately, or you might lose him!)...

She brings shame and disgrace to all Jews and Israel because of her hate and bigotry toward both. Bar's an averge-looking girl whose success is based having sex with Leonadro Dicaprio. She would rather celebrate Christmas than Passover. Bar is a self-hating Jew and should be ignored.

but they also have many other good traits that you can focus on. Try not be so superficial, or you might become like your neighbor to the north.

Funny, well-written article--and sweet, too! Kol haKavod, Benji--it really looks as if your new-Oleh career is taking off! Hatzlachah! LL www.lady-light.blogspot.com

She should be blacklisted and boycotted by all Israeli companies. Another example of beauty that is only skin-deep, or is it "nice house - no one is home?"
