31. Israelis have no taste in fashion
(02.07.13)
I see it everyday at work! People go to work with sport shoes or kafkafim... Last time I was in a wedding I was the only one wearing a tie. Even the groom didn't have one! And people were wearing t-shirts and jeans with kafkafim (again). What the ...?
32. Why is Deri Ogling Sarah Netanyahu?
Tambour ,   Eilat   (02.07.13)
who appointed talkbackers Fashion critics? She has a weight problem, and she does not have a tailor, so? Mind your own bleeding business
33. MY EYES! MY EYES!
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (02.07.13)
wtf went through her head that morning?
34. First Lady's lack of Common Sense
Miriam ,   Israel   (02.07.13)
This woman is our First Lady and as such represents Israel. Im not religious, and believe women should wear what they want, as long as they are not in the public eye- in public official buisness. Once you take on this position, you have to show some savoir fair and Grace on such an auspicious occasion. Her attire appears to be neither elegant nor graceful, and verging on cheap bimbo effect. This does not show Israeli women in a good light. I for one am very sorry she had to put herself and all Israeli women under such scrutiny. There really are more important things to deal with, but she was crying out for the attention.
35. She has no taste but...
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (02.07.13)
But at least she knew how to choose a nice husband. I do think the PM should employ someone to dress his wife properly especially since she is in the spot light.
36. Discussing her clothing is as appropriate as her interfering
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (02.07.13)
Discussing her clothing is as appropriate as her interfering in politics. Neither should happen.
37. Ahh bless fashion tips from an ex con
Haim ,   TA   (02.07.13)
I should imagine after after Deri served after serving 22 months in jail that even Sarah Netanyahu must seem atractive in some strange way.
38. Inappropriate outfit worn by S. Netanyahu
HHT ,   Israel   (02.07.13)
Forget the fact that it was inappropriate for the occassion. It was inappropriate for a woman her age and definitely inappropriate for a woman with more than a few extra pounds on her. She really should look in the mirror, really look in the mirror.
39. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Fashion Police   (02.07.13)
40. #37 Read the article--Deri criticized her critics.
Esther ,   Ramat Bet Shemesh   (02.07.13)
41. Sara's (Un)Sartorial Splendor
barbara ,   zichron yaakov,   (02.07.13)
Aryeh Deri is to be commended for closing the fabric gap. , As a long-standing feminisit, however, may I remind those who defend Mrs. N's choice of public wearing apparel that "clothes mean Kavod." Bella Abzug wore hats; Maggie Thatcher tailored dresses; Hilary hid her bottom with slacks. This is not a question of offending Hareidim. It is a matter of conducting oneself as Malchut. If Sara needs inspiration, she might want to copy the first First Lady of the Stae check out the Duchchess of Cambridge's clothers- or , she can just come and shop in my closet. - or she can check Israel's own fashion history:

Sivan ,   Jerusalem   (02.07.13)
You are both pathetic souls. Beuuurk
43. #35
Sivan   (02.07.13)
The poor guy fell into a trap and just can't free himself
44. You are missing the point
Tiffany ,   Lake Worth Fl USA   (02.07.13)
Being that she is part of the PM family and he is a statesman, his wife should dress like a statesman's wife. Whether or not her dress is nice for a chafla, is beside the point. It is distasteful and disrespectful to all including her hubby. Israelis have great fashion sense and it may be a cute dress, but not on her and not at THAT event for sure :)
45. COW
Joe ,   LA, USA   (07.18.14)
What a cow? She is perfect though for her pig husband Benjamin Netanyahu
