Israelis love Condi: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is the big winner in Ynet's 'People of the Year' survey.
Rice's parents, a priest and a music teacher, never guessed their gifted daughter would grow into a tough diplomat, let alone be mentioned as a 2008 presidential candidate.
Or win a Ynet survey.
Coming in at close second, with 3,630 votes, were musicians Bono from U2 and Bob Geldof, who produced the "Live 8 aid" concert. The choice may indicate that Israelis, too, are getting tired of hearing about politicians and terrorists all the time.
Bono and Geldof are not politicians?
The surprising third place (with 3,059 votes) went to
natural disaster victims, who this year seemed to make headlines more than ever before perhaps.
It started with the Asian tsunami, which claimed about 200,000 lives in 12 countries and left two million people without a roof over their head. Other disasters included floods in India, China and the Philippines, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and the major earthquake that rocked Pakistan.
What will each one's share in the prize money come to?
