1. Ripping off the public
Israeli mum   (02.12.10)
Bar Rafaeli can show her tuches off to the international market as much as she likes, but paying fair taxation on her income is what all citizens should do. We pay plenty living here, including VAT on almost everything, health fund tax, and so on, however moderate our income. Why should a big earner be let off fair taxation because she can afford crafty lawyers and accountants to put her money to bed in Cyprus?
2. Cyprus and Singapore are no longer "off-shore"
Jhan   (02.12.10)
Cyprus was a good deal with 4% tax payable on company income, but no longer. Singapore also reports to the Great Satan all financial details. The only places of financial freedom left now in the Bush New World Order world are Panama and Uruguay - as far as I know...
3. 1st draft dodger now tax dodger
Frustrated ,   Tel Aviv   (02.12.10)
What a wonderful lesson for our youth to learn.
4. i prefer esti
dave ,   uk   (02.12.10)
5. Puts to rest the claims that draft dodging isn't profitable
Arie ,   BaGolan   (02.12.10)
6. #3
joe ,   Afula   (02.12.10)
You are absolutely right! And now the government wants to let people like this vote! unbelievable.
7. taxes
Eli ,   Brooklyn   (02.12.10)
taxes are imorral and should not be paid if possible. the gov't has no claim on anyones property, especially their hard earned money.
8. No. 7
Robert ,   USA   (02.12.10)
Stay in Brooklyn with your Americanisher passport and your goyishe b.s. Morality has nothing to do with taxes. It is public policy, necessary to achieve a compelling government purpose..i.e., effectively run a modern nation-state. Oh, and Poland called, they want their streimel back.
9. #7
Ram ,   London   (02.12.10)
And from what funds will countries be run?
10. All of her brains are in her bum
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (02.12.10)
11. This ugly draft dodger should lose her
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.12.10)
Israeli citizenship. Along with all the rest of the draft dodgers.
12. double tax treaty
all ok ,   europe   (02.13.10)
the company in singapore is paying taxes in singapore. from what is left in singapore, she gets her income, which has to be taxed fully in the country she is living (probably the US, more than 183 days). on 25 % on her (US-taxed) income, she has to pay israeli tax. ==> it would be unfair, if she had to tax her income on the place she spends most of the year (mandatory, there is no way around...) PLUS once more in israel...
13. And what if
Izik ,   Ramle   (02.13.10)
Israeli leaved Israel for ever and ever? If he/she do NOT live in Israel at all? Why they should pay taxes to place they do not want to name as their father-motherhood?
14. #11, jealousy ?
Moshe ,   Tel-Aviv   (02.13.10)
15. She is a witch
Patrick ,   Francarabia   (02.13.10)
Bar Rafaeli is a shame for Israel - she doesn't like her country - she doesn't deserve the honor of citizenhip - I wish that the she will be disfigured when I think of the heroes who did Israel. Kaddish for Bar Rafaeli and maybe if she is aware of my hatred it will open her eyes of rotten spoil little girl.
16. go Bar she is gorgeous
Nimrod ,   Baghdad, Iraq   (02.13.10)
who are you calling UGLY ? she is beautiful and good for her, so what stop being such haters and mega jealous she is a sweetie I love Bar Rafaeli
17. To # 14 I am jealous that my children
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.13.10)
and I give years of our lives to serve in the I.D.F. protecting this POS! How about you? Did you put your life on the line to defend her? Was it worth it? I think she and the other draft dodgers should be thrown in prison for years. She should not have Israeli citizenship and she should be banned from ever returning here.Israelis and fellow Jews around the world should boycott her and the companies she works for.
18. Bar Refaeli
Sara ,   jerusalem, Israel   (02.14.10)
Ditto, Esti has way more class & hasn't forgotten where her loyalties lie,
19. This is the rule.
Dan ,   Washington, DC   (02.14.10)
The rule is the middle class always pays for the rich and the poor. Don't you know how the world works? Must be nice - filthy hot AND rich.
20. #17 what's wrong?
Moshe ,   Tel-Aviv   (02.14.10)
Anyone has the right to live WHERE and HOW they want. "This PIS" (citing You) has the same right as well. Now, about You. In my HO, serving in the IDF you didn't protected Her, you rather protected Yourself. From what? From being disillusioned. Life doesn't end in Israel, habbibi.
21. Bar Refaeli, you are the best!
John ,   NY, NY   (02.14.10)
You've made a good job! Congrats! Keep up with the times!
22. A clue for Jason
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.14.10)
IDF is not protecting her, since she is living outside of Israel.
23. clue for southparker kyle
(02.14.10)
IDF protects all Jews. Without Israel, and the IDF. Jews are subject to another Holocaust, which 99.9% of countries would not lift a finger in response to AGAIN...
24. Raging clue for #23
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.14.10)
You think the IDF protects all Jews all over the world Jason thinks the IDF should only protect people who think like Jason. The job of the IDF is to protect all people in Israel, whether they are Jews or non-Jews, whether they are citizens or foreigners, whether they are taxpayers or unemployed.
25. to #20 Who the hell protected her when she
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.15.10)
lived here? Who made sure there is a safe haven for Jews to come to in case of danger. No one said life ends in Israel, but this critter should have served her two years in the I.D.F.
26. #22 agree!
(02.15.10)
27. #25: maybe
Moshe, Tel-Aviv   (02.16.10)
she'd had profile #21...
