This abuse of power must be stopped immediately. Israel is braking apart. This uncivilized and barbaric behavior in not acceptable.

if they were made go to miqve each time ! if so, gila did not have to worry, no?

chosen picture. This time , not Bibi, but a lady who is behaving the opposite of this ( innocent little darling ha ha) Israeli style M.Levinsky and the frightening one she's unwisely chosen as her spokes(wo?)man . She has DIGNITY.These other two specimens wouldn't even know what that means. Our President's lady surpasses Hillary by a long shot.

No. 14 maybe she did not report him the first time it happened because as the State President he had tremendous power and she had none. Now that his term of office is up he has no more power. So that was the time to report him.She also reported him while he was still in office so his sentence would be more severe. This is what happened with Sharon's son and that is why he resigned as an MK so the sentence would be less.

Even an allegation should be the reason enough for highest authority to step down.

Maybe, Mr Man, it wasn't the President who went 'first'. Many many females make a beeline for absolutely ANYONE( just LOOK at some of them ugh!) in 'power'. Ask us ladies, we know exactly how to go about it, but then some get a weeny bit scared and start crying 'gevalt'.'I'm a little innocent girl!' I also noticed they got this youngish woman to pin the front of her blouse a little higher ( this time, i.e. for the cameras) Good PR move! Usually the motto is 'let it all hang out', specially after the 'abundance' of surgical improvements.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" Isn't THIS the straw that broke this particular (rejected for another) camel's back?

In civilized countries like America (and not third world nations) the rule is innocent until proven guilty. You don't know what the facts and the circumstances are behind the case. You don't know if he is being set up, or what. The bible says we are to pray for those in power, so to pray that if he is guilty it will be exposed undeniably, and if he is innocent like Daniel was in the lion's den, who was set up by wicked men and or false witnesses, then that those wicked people would be exposed and punished.

The right for equality before the law saws that both parties are treated the with the same level of respect by the system. While rape has been treated specially I have to wonder if this woman hasn't waived that expectation by going to hold press conferences by proxy. Let the truth be out and let the guilty pay the consequences, but no favoritism before the law and media.

The international media can see how Kadima is responsible for the Katsav set-up. And now, Yachimovich is confirming it! The allegations changed suddenly from sexual harrassment to rape... this whole story stinks to high heaven. If Kadima stoop so low, just to take the heat off themselves, because of their ineptitude during the war with Hizbollah, it just goes to prove that they`re the scum of the earth, who don`t deserve menial jobs. even as toilet cleaners, let alone as politicians. They should all stand down, because between them, they couldn`t fight their way out of a paper bag, let alone a war!

I notice you state this view right through, and I agree with you 100%. But as the media=PR=spin=Wag the Dog rule here, we dont stand a chance.

Something strange here, does Yacimovich think she an inbuild liedetector? How can she judge, is she soooo bright. I do not claim to know what happened, but any decent human should be given the benefit of doubt. None of us was there when it happened. Did the girl asked to be rehired afterwards?

has cooked up. Her purse was pinched(yeh yeh) from the attorneys house.!!! Some story, some attorney. Nearly as bad as all the israeli soap opera rubbish. Maybe they use the same script writers?

Why rush ? Why be biased ? Let's wait & see . Personally, I just cannot imagine our mediocre and "bonhomme" president commit rape on a young woman !

Is it justice that the leading public figure is being damned before he has even been indicted, while his accuser is allowed to remain anonymous?

tHE PRESENT SEEXUAL HARASSMENT LAW IS SO UNCLEAR THAT - IF A BOSS COMMENTS AND COMPLIMENTS HIS SECRETARY ON HER NEW DRESS OR HER NEW HAIR-DO- HE MAY BE ACCUSED OF LOOKING AT HER TOO LONG AND FIND HIMSELF PAYING HER AFINE OR EVEN ARREST AS HAPPENS IN THE sTATES A LOT

hAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE SAYING THAT yOU SHALL NOT JUDGE PEOPLE BEFORE THEIR GUILT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY THE COURT. sO BE FAIR AND RELAX.

Emily, I am glad I did make you laugh that was the intent. I do not think cheating is ever justified but in some cases excused by primal extinct. Not to prejudge the guy but after looking at his wife I figured it will be easy for him to at least look outside. Gosh I would if I was married to her .. Just trying to make light of the situation

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Your suggestion that this woman falsely accuses for being "rejected" is ridiculous. It is the phrase lying egomaniac men use. The phrase is more aptly stated, "Fatal Attraction" is the stuff of Hollywood. Most women are immensely relieved to be rid of a lying, unfaithful, cowardly man. Knaves only exacerbate such realization when they cast aspersions on the integrity and decency of women, where they should examine their own ways. It’s not “manly” “ego worthy” or even “desirable” to be a cad. Women relieved of such types always end up far happier and better off. If the allegations later prove true (I personally doubt it) it’s more likely political. Besides, what woman would care for some lying old coot too old even to serve in the IDF?

what a putz
