Just Like Ted Nugent, Model is Hypocrite Draft-Dodger
By Debbie Schlussel
In case you don’t remember the name Bar Refaeli, she’s the Israeli model who appeared in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and is the on-again, off-again girlfriend of actor Leonardo DiCaprio, or we call him here, Leonardo DiCrapio. She hopes to make it big in showbiz and Hollywood and hosts travel shows on Bravo.
And she’s a lot like Ted Nugent. How so? Well, she’s a draft dodger and a hypocrite about it. When asked by women’s mag Marie Claire who is tougher–Israelis or New Yorkers–she answered, thus:
Israelis. They went through the army, you know.
Problem is, just like Ted Nugent, she dodged the draft–and said something just a tad different, a year ago, about serving in the Israeli Army when she was asked about it by Israel’s Yediot Achronot. In Israel, everyone is required to either serve in the military or do national service. She didn’t, and she bragged about it, saying that was for the “little people.”
In her interview, the Israeli model said she was not against army service, even though she never enlisted, having married an acquaintance to evade the draft. The couple was soon divorced.
“I really wanted to serve in the IDF, but I don’t regret not enlisting, because it paid off big time,” she said. “That’s just the way it is, celebrities have other needs. I hope my case has influenced the army.”
“Israel or Uganda [DS: where she was modeling while fellow Israelis were risking their lives in the Army], what difference does it make? It makes no difference to me. Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn’t it better to live in New York? Why should 18-year-old kids have to die? It’s dumb that people have to die so that I can live in Israel,” Refaeli added.
Read Carl in Jerusalem‘s past comments about this nauseating, ugly woman hiding inside a beautiful outward visage.
How do you say “hypocrite” in Hebrew? The word is tzavuah. But a great synonym is “Bar Refaeli.”
I can claim a disability as the reason I didn’t serve in the military. All other things being equal, I would have enlisted even today if my health and reflexes were perfect. In Israel, even kids with Down’s Syndrome are now allowed to serve in the IDF. What’s Bar Refaeli’s excuse? That’s she’s too pretty to die for her country? She puts past generations of Jews who made all those sacrifices so she could grow up in Israel to shame by her conduct. They are far better than this spoiled child of a woman will ever be.
