Bibi and Mariah Carey Belong Together (at Dinner)

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Mariah Carey’s led her and new billionaire boyfriend James Packer to Israel last week, along with her twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
And then a hero came along! Benjamin Netanyahu invited Packer and Carey to dinner at his home in Jerusalem. Even Sara Netanyahu gave the dinner her all (I mean, look at that bejeweled dress collar!). According to Bibi’s Facebook page, the dinner was filled with emotions as they discussed Israel’s mandatory draft and Netanyahu’s two boys.
Evidently, Netanyahu was no heartbreaker, and they had a #beautiful time.
Here’s what Bibi posted on his Facebook page:
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
