“It’s the same one who didn’t serve in the Israeli army and whose mother went to prison for the millions in taxes she didn’t pay”
Many Israeli personalities expressed themselves on social networks following the vote of the Parliament on a key measure of the judicial reform promoted by the government. Among the most notable reactions was model Bar Refaeli, who sarcastically wrote, “Last to go will turn off the light,” adding sarcastically, “Oh sorry, it’s already dark in here.”
A message that caused an uproar on the Web, many Internet users pointing out that some of the top model’s past acts seem to contradict his words. “Yes, yes, it’s the same one who didn’t serve in the Israeli army and whose mother went to prison for the millions in taxes she didn’t pay. Apparently, the state is still important to her, “reacted one of them.
Former Israel Hayom reporter Gonen Ginat wrote, “Do you remember the one who found a bluffing son-in-law not to enlist? It suits her to side with the protest of the privileged. Too bad for her.”
Internet users here refer to the fact that Bar Refaeli married a friend of her family in 2003, at the age of 18, in order to be exempted from military service. Divorced shortly following, the model explained that enlisting would have been a brake on her career. A maneuver that many Israelis have taken a long time to digest, and which remains a kind of stain on the popularity of the supermodel in her country. The other fact recalled by some Internet users is that Bar Refaeli’s mother, Tzipi Refaeli, was sentenced in September 2020 to 16 months in prison for tax evasion, while the model received nine months of community service for the same offense.
