But You Knew That

barraf

Model and Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Bar Rafaeli, speaking about fleeing Israel's female conscription:

"I don't regret not having been drafted . . .because I made out big," she told an Israeli paper. "Why is it good to die for one's country? Isn't it better to live in New York?"

Unfortunately, Bar, quite a few people from this country actually died in New York not too long ago, so it wasn't better for them. And now, a whole lot of pageantry stemming from that New York incident has resulted in many other people dying abroad for this country. But, y'know, just keep being a stupid model.

    i think i get the whole cornophagia thing - its only with models right? well models don't eat, so models don't crap. Also, they aren't particularly known for thier intelligence.

    Israeli women soldiers are paraded around online like "models". The amount of people who die in the Palestine, Syria and middle east in general from Israel's hostile military tactics far exceed the number of people who died in the attacks on 9-11, although I doubt this model is a pacifist, I am glad she doesn't want to serve for her countries military.

    No. 18 Ariel says:

    Her comment, in the context of Israeli history, is actually quite witty. "Never mind, it is good to die for your country" is a famous expression originally coined by Joseph Trumpeldor, an early Zionist activist, who is said to have uttered it as he lay dying following the Jewish resistance at the battle of Tel Hai in 1920.

    Given that she gave this comment to an Israeli journalist (who would have been culturally aware of the expression as a symbol of Israeli self-defence), I would take her latter comment, "Isn't it better to live in New York?" as tongue-in-cheek.

    RUDE!!! I can't believe an Israeli, of all people, would say such a thing. She clearly has not the first iota about the 4,000 years history of her homeland and the struggles of her countrymen to protect and defend her land. First of all, women generally don't see violent combat in the Israeli military. Secondly, there is no greater honor than to die (if it must come to that) for one's country–especially when the whole reason for dying is to PROCTECT the homeland from violent neighbors who routinely call for the destruction of said homeland–as is the case of Israel. Hell, I'm neither Israeli nor Jewish, and I'd be proud to fight for Israel.

    Yea, I wasn't thinking of the military when I said martyrdom was the best way to resolve issues (sarcastically). But when governments use religion to further their principals and religious beliefs, it's pretty darn close. I happen to think that a lot of countries, not just the radical Islamists, think that there is a "holy war" and use religion as an excuse for "force".

    It is extemely rare for an Israeli women see actual active combat. i highly doubt Bar could or would qualify for such a thing.

    I'd like to see Maria provide evidence of Israeli women soldiers being paraded around online like “models”.

    Further she goes on to say that the amount of people who die in the Palestine, Syria and middle east in general from Israel’s hostile military tactics far exceed the number of people who died in the attacks on 9-11. Would also be quite illuminating to see the number of palestinian, syrian and middle-eastern folk who have needlessly died due to extremist terrorist attacks. I think Maria would be quite surprised were she to compare those numbers.
