The scandal? The First Girlfriend is (allegedly) a white-hot Norwegian shiksa.

What's more, the L.A. Jewish Journal can exclusively report that the two have been hanging out since at least the first week of July 2013. Last summer, while following around a U.S. television crew for a yet-to-be-released special on Israel's prime minister, I watched Netanyahu Jr. work his magic at a posh nightclub in Tel Aviv's restored railway complex, surrounded by skinny chicks in bodycon dresses.
