Israeli PM's wife recorded yelling at aide over gossip column
The Guardian ^ | January 29, 2018 | Oliver Holmes

An audio recording has emerged of the Israeli prime minister’s wife furiously scolding a family publicist over a gossip column she said failed to highlight her professional qualifications.

The leak comes amid intense scrutiny in Israel of Sara Netanyahu, who was last year ordered to pay tens of thousands of pounds in damages to two former domestic workers who accused her of bullying. She faces a third lawsuit from an employee who alleged staff were treated like “slaves”.

The Israeli site Walla! News published the tape in which Netanyahu, a child psychologist, is heard screaming at an aide who had reportedly placed news of her fundraising activities in a 2009 column. The piece had mentioned how the premier’s wife was “obligated” to public service.

Big deal.

Abigail excoriated the British and American press for its gossip against her husband John. They printed (reportedly said by Jefferson):

“blind, bald, crippled toothless man who is a hideous hermaphroditic character with neither the force and fitness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.”

Slaves? Really? Who knew slaves were paid and could leave anytime they wished?

This woman was not standing up for her husband or her family. She was berating an underling because the column did not mention her college degrees.

“Why is this news?”

Because The Guardian sympathizes with the PLO?

You're not keeping up with the news.

Follow the link above to the article, then click on the news button which will take you to the front page of the Guardian, where there are 4 main articles.

The first is about how Trump is a danger to the National Parks. The second is about Trump's border fence. The third is about the Grammies. The fourth is about the ISIS bureaucracy running Mosul.

Sara Netanyahu has acted insane since she married BiBi in 1991.

It’s been well documented not only in Israel, but internationally.

The whispered rumor has always been her behavior is a combination of her diet pills and bottle of wine a day. I just think she was born this way.

That makes me sad. I see Netanyahu as the most attractive, most powerful man in the world, next to Trump (no, I don’t find Trump attractive). But Netanyahu is charismatic and Trump isn’t.

She yelled at someone a decade ago, and was taped. Would be nice if her manners were better, even nicer if she'd realize there's always a recorder around.
