Bar Rafaeli busted trying to smuggle iPad into Israel

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli is smuggling more than raisins this time. She was caught trying to smuggle an iPad into the country.

Refaeli put her luggage through the nothing-to-declare line at customs, saying that all she had in her bags was clothing, but an X-ray of her bags showed a new Apple iPad.

The Israeli supermodel, who returned home to Israel to make a brief commercial appearance, will have to pay at least twice the amount of import tax that would have been charged on the device.

Israel recently lifted a ban allowing personal imports of the iPad into the country. Items brought into Israel worth more than about $200 are subject to duties.

In January, Refaeli asked the Israel Tax Authority to exempt her from paying taxes because she works mostly abroad and, as she put it, "The center of my life is no longer in Israel." Refaeli earned about $2 million over the past two years, according to reports, and paid about 46 percent in taxes in Israel.

World’s largest falafel ball created

(Israeli NBA Star Omri Casspi helps weigh world’s largest falafel ball in NYC)

              An Israeli chef at a New York restaurant created what is believed to be the world's largest falafel ball. The over 30-pound falafel ball, made up of chickpeas and spices, was fried in about 10 gallons of oil Friday at the Olympic Pita restaurant, according to NY1 radio. The ball was certified by former Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau and an engineer for submission to the Guinness Book of World Records. The effort comes less than two weeks after Lebanese chefs created the largest recorded bowl of hummus, four tons, breaking an Israeli record set earlier in the year. The record-breaking falafel ball attempt was made as part of the festivities leading up to Sunday's Salute to Israel parade.

Pat Buchanan slams Obama over Kagan

May 16, 2010

(JTA) -- Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan slammed President Obama for nominating a Jewish woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

"(O)f the last seven justices nominated by Democrats JFK, LBJ, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, one was black, Marshall; one was Puerto Rican, Sonia Sotomayor. The other five were Jews: Arthur Goldberg, Abe Fortas, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. If Kagan is confirmed, Jews, who represent less than 2 percent of the U.S. population, will have 33 percent of the Supreme Court seats. Is this the Democrats' idea of diversity?" Buchanan wrote in his May 14 syndicated column.

Obama last week announced his nomination of Elena Kagan to replace John Paul Stevens, a liberal stalwart who is retiring at 90.

A New York City native, Kagan, 50, is currently the U.S. solicitor general and a former dean of Harvard Law School.

The Anti-Defamation League, responding to the column, called Buchanan “a recidivist anti-Semite who doesn’t miss an opportunity to show his fangs.”

"His remarks about the Jewish background of Elena Kagan and the religious makeup of the Supreme Court are bigoted and unacceptable in a pluralistic society such as ours," ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said in a statement issued last Saturday.

"Kagan’s nomination for the Supreme Court should be considered on its merits. She is a highly qualified candidate for the judiciary, an exemplary Solicitor General and a great legal mind. 
 
Foxman said he hoped Americans would reject appeals to bigotry and anti-Semitism as the nomination process for Kagan moved forward.
