It is tremendously unfortunate that I need to follow up my post about Bar Rafaeli by defending a woman who made global news in defense of the Jewish state. Since the time I wrote the last post, I’ve been told she is a draft dodger who has been highly criticized in Israel for not going into the army. I’ve even been told that she is widely criticized for her Liberal views. Since when does having Liberal views automatically label you as being bad for the Jewish people or State of Israel? Bar Rafaeli came right out and went after an individual, Roger Waters, who is and enemy of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. I appreciate the passion felt by former soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces, and a Jew I am forever in their debt for their service. This I say with total sincerity and conviction. However, to those criticizing Rafaeli I say this. Go after your enemies not your friends. Here is a public figure using her high profile status to try and combat a subtle but significant evil and what she deserves is gratitude and support. It is not everyone’s responsibility to be part of the solution, but in going after Bar Rafaeli you become part of the problem.

A Woman of Valor
As a follow up to my post attacking the self-serving, hypocritical, anti-Semite Roger Waters, I present to you this post about a person who is everything he is not. The great and I say this with conviction, the great Bar Rafaeli. All of us who appreciate the beauty of a woman have already been fans to some extent of this stunningly sexy and beautiful model, but God given looks are not enough to make a person great. One’s greatness comes with what they do with what they have. I do not know Bar Rafaeli, so unless the good Lord decides I’ve done something so right in my life that I do actually get to meet her one day, all I have to go by is what I read and hear.
As a Jew I am tremendously proud of how Bar Rafaeli has represented herself to the general public in defense of the honor of Israel, the Jewish state. In declaring to the world that she wants her image removed from Roger Waters show due to his call to boycott Israel, she is showing herself to be someone with great integrity, honor, and courage. She is showing the world that she is something very special and something traditionally every Jewish woman strives to be. She is a Woman of Valor. It is easy to stay quiet. It is sometimes even better for business. Bar Rafaeli has shown character and strength in defending her people and her land. As far as I am concerned she can represent the Jewish people any time and as a Jew, I thank her.
