I would just as much file this away and be happy to let this story go away due to lack of interest (by me), but I said the other day that I was not aware of Netanyahu being someone who keeps kosher, so I feel I must mention this.
As a result of the uproar, Netanyahu has clearly and explicitly stated that he does keep kosher both in public and official affairs and in his private affairs as well. He says not just as prime minister of Israel doe she keep kosher, but he feels it is important as a Jewish family as well to keep kosher, and so he does. Netanyahu even said he has 2 kashrut supervisors who go with him, referring to his sons.
While that is a cute thing to say, I knew one of them was somewhat religious. I did not know the other one was as well. Wasn't he dating a non-Jew? can he really be called a "mashgiach"?
Netanyahu was perturbed that people are intruding in his life so much, all the way to his plate. He complained that people are intruding into his private meetings, into his plates, and they've even looked into what type of toilet paper he uses. Netanyahu suggested that they install reality tv cameras around him and that would solve everyone's problems.

Sorry, Bibi. That's part of the job in today's day and age. I agree with you that people take it too far, but that's the way the media is, for good and for bad. You use it to your advantage and excel in the soundbite that is perfect for the media, and you use it to your advantage, and you have to take the bad parts with it. You want to be prime minister in the age of the media, internet, no privacy and high speed information sharing, this is what goes along with that.
