Supermodel Bar Refaeli responded Tuesday evening to IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai’s letter to the Foreign Ministry on Sunday in which he criticized the latter’s use of Refaeli in a new PR campaign to boost Israel’s image around the world.

During an interview with Channel 2, Refaeli dismissed the ‘negative energy and criticism,’ saying she embraces it.

“Sometimes, there are people with negative energy, but they have to sleep at night. I personally don’t lose any sleep over it,” said Refaeli, adding that she wishes the IDF Spokesman “happy holidays.”

Refaeli had acknowledged the brewing controversy on Monday in a Hebrew tweet, writing, “You can use the clip for the Foreign Ministry or drop it, but my Instagram feed has more readers than Israel’s most popular newspaper!"

And, as this thread is meaningless without pictures:

Orthodox students say she 'can't represent us because of relationship with gentile actor'

"We know that Refaeli had a publicized relationship with a gentile actor," said Eyal Cohen, a law student at the Ono Academic College's haredi campus. "And in this way, she certainly doesn't represent the Israeli public."

Who the hell is Eyal Cohen ?
and does he represent the Israeli public ?

5. Perhaps Eyal Cohen just has a broken heart that he is not the 'gentile actor.'

6. "does he represent the Israeli public ? "

Who does? The Israeli public is one of the most diverse national groups on the planet. However, there are still people here who believe they all think and act alike -- like a monolithic hive-mind.

Golda Meir, Bar Refaeli and Yityish Aynaw are all equally representative of the Israeli public -- at least the prettier half.

He represents the haredim
Bar Refaeli is secular

PS : if you think Golda Meir represented the " prettier half " you need to get your eyes tested
