2. Drivel.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (07.19.13)
Is this the best that the writer can do. I will not respond to this drivel.
3. #2 You just did......
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.19.13)
Anyway..I recall the Netanyahus clearing out the silver cutlery from the Prime Minister's residence after Bibi finished his first term - which happened to be state property. etc Her brother is telling the truth...why not cash in on it? We're entitled to the lowdown... If he's lying...let her sue. To me she's always been power drunk
4. Her behaviour demeans BiBi's credibility
Tambour ,   Eilat   (07.19.13)
Shame really; He deserves better, but she has him under her thumb. She drove him to commit indiscretions in the past ; claiming for kitchen refurbishment and such petty fiddling. Low m fibre ill becomes a leader in Israel
5. who gives a banana about Sara?
Philip Barnet ,   London , UK   (07.19.13)
Sara is an opportunist taking advantage of her position to suck literally the state of Israel. Her smart brother wants to make money based on israelis credulity. Don't give in to their family stupidity , what is in their family stays in their family , it doesn't concern none of us. It's a family of blood (money) suckers.
6. what don't we already know
Arno ,   Israel   (07.19.13)
With regards to Miss Piggy her brother isn't saying anything we don't already know. With her monumental egotism I'm surprised she can still through a doorway.
7. We have wisely never really had "first ladies"
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (07.19.13)
The people elected the party of the PM not his/her spouse.
8. Airing private family affairs to the public is very wrong.
Jo   (07.19.13)
Maybe he was desperate to get her attention but airing private details in such a public format ( a book) is really a bad thing to do. Private family affairs should be dealt with privately, especially involving public people as they have enough pressures and personal attacks to deal with. Criminal matters are are different matter.

jack ,   israel   (07.19.13)
It does concern us ,its our money that she spend !!!
10. He is 100 per cent correct- she is out of control-when
Dina ,   USA   (07.19.13)
it comes to public figures family privacy that reveals corrupt politicians must be exposed- kudos for the courage to speak out that all our leaders work for the people and not to enhance their portfolios on the backs of the poor and middle classes!
11. Sara is the worst PR Israel ever had. Why does he keep her?
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.19.13)
12. an understatement!!!!!!
sue ,   mevasseret   (07.19.13)

jack ,   netanya   (07.19.13)
Being the wife of the P.M. is not a private affair, when SHE spend the taxpayer money like it was her own ....
14. There is a beautiful yiddish expression that describes
Al   (07.19.13)
the one upmanship that is so evident among Israel's ruling class. Its called an 'Aufgekimminer schnorrer'. That about sums up the entire Israeli ruling class. You take a schnorrer, have him put on a nice suit and he still is a schnorrer.
15. It's no smear campaign,. its what it seems to be
Yossi ,   Tlv   (07.19.13)
16. #7 I agree...the first lady is never the PM's
Benjy.   (07.19.13)
wife, but wife of the president Sonya Peres now not with us. Israel has NO first lady! ...We are not the USA. Miss Piggy is first lady only in her dreams and she has to be careful not to trip over her ego.
17. She spends the workers taxes......
Peggy   (07.19.13)
MAke her buy her tickets abroad and cut her allowence...Bibi's salary is enough to buy her outsized clothes! Sara Honey, there will be sales on soon at the larger sized stores!!! Sara the Schnora, not ashamed while many Israelis dont have a decent Shabbat meal.
18. story re mrs.S.Natanyahuu
harry Nihom ,   Betanya Israel   (07.19.13)
Is this the system to make money ? Why giving your non-proven opinion about your sister. You are a non acceptable person
19. Very important issue for Israel.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (07.19.13)
If the lady is a tramp, what is Peres? The lady learned from Lea, Sonia and Aliza how to spend government money. She had good teachers. Lea wanted a Cadiilac for her Ytzhak. When called on the matter Ytzhak put the blame in the security forces.
20. If he hasn't spoken to her in 16 years
Mea   (07.19.13)
If he has not spoken to his sister in 16 years, he is in no position to judge her, period. They're strangers for all intent and purposes! I have a brother who I haven't seen in 20 years and if we met today we wouldn't know one another at all. This guy is a jerk who is obviously committing the very crimes he accuses his sister of committing.
21. #11 Michael
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (07.19.13)
She is probably a whore in the bedroom. As long as she continues to put out the less likely Netanyahu is to get rid of her. Although I think Netanyahu has caused many of Israel's recent difficulties because his eyes are on her chest and not on the affairs of state
22. Nobody at all likes her.
Mendoza ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (07.19.13)
Odious woman.
23. #2 she's involved in high politics. So we all do
Avi   (07.19.13)
It was reported that during the coalition negotiations she was the main force behind the refusal to give in to some of Ba'it yehudi and yesh atid's demands.
24. Knew her once upon a time...
Anonymouse ,   for this posting...   (07.19.13)
For a short period, many years ago I knew her personally to my regret. She was manipulative, controlling and required others to pay her homage - whether she deserved it or not. I doubt that she has changed much over the years...
25. #21 Ivor, Is he doing it on purpose?
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.19.13)
Some say Bibi had even worse women PR prior to Sara. Hard to believe that this is possible. Netanyahu doesn't seem to recognize the huge problem he has with Sara. If only he learned from Putin! But there could be another angle: maybe he wants people to be disgusted by her on purpose? Suppose he wants Israelis to feel enough pity for him to let him live out the 4-year term with the current Knesset? You know, spare husband because the wife is a witch. Not that Sara is worthy of wasting our time on her.
26. Troubling Comments
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, Israel   (07.19.13)
There continue to be troubling comments about Sara Netanyahu including, but not limited to, "generous" use of government money, unjust dealings with hired (immigrant) help and interference in governmental affairs. Given the varied accounts and subjects including her brother's, I am thinking that she is an overall poor representative of a PM's wife and that Bibi cannot control her. This is sad for the nation.
27. nothing quite like....
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.19.13)
...Sarah Netanyahu for "uniting" YNET talkbackers
28. Your eyes are a window to your soul.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.19.13)
Just look at hers! She is a mean one, all right! Her brother is only saying what we already know.
29. Now isn't this interesting...
(07.19.13)
1. Sara's ex-husband came out against her in 1996 and 2. Sara's Brother has come out against her now. What does that mean?
30. @11 she's got something really good on him! that's y.
