    Netanyahu saw a different Joan Rivers than the one I saw. I found her vulgar, vainglorious, narcissistic, with no perceived pride in her Jewish heritage, indeed no respect either (see her comments on Rabbis and her idea of a funeral not long before her death). She was self-serving and characterised all the worst American Hollywood traits. Perhaps those intimate with her could provide another side of her not publicly displayed. I didn’t find her funny either.
