1. 7 years is typical for rape
Josh S ,   USA   (11.10.11)
Unfortunately, Israel cannot charge him with disgracing his office, traumatizing the country or generally acting acting like a stubborn a--. In a just world, he would get another 2-3 years for that.
2.  Why a raped woman...
Nora Tel Aviv   (11.10.11)
...doesn`t call the police immediately. By doing that, all suspicions against her would be cleared.
3. Why
michaelpielet ,   israel   (11.11.11)
Why did she wait ten years. Because she is a liar.
4. Nobody seems ....
aline silverman ,   israel   (11.11.11)
,,,,to remember how the whole thing started....Katsav went to the police because that famous A was blackmailing him...I rest my case.
5. #2
Sarah ,   Jerusalem   (11.10.11)
Why, why, why ????? There are millions reasons why. But until one is not the victim, one does not understand....... I hope and wish it never happens to you -- to me, it happened and I did not opened my mouth to this day though this act of violence happenend decades ago
6. Aline's point @ 4
Alice ,   Wonderland   (11.11.11)
A very good point, Aline. The prosecution of K. will deter others who are subject to blackmail from going to the police - they might be charged themselves. I would also note that after the offenses, the victim wrote K. a love letter - in an "attempt to clear the air between them." At the trial, this was accepted as evidence of how traumatised she must have been ...

Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.11.11)
Sarah knows what she is talking about. #2 has luckily never experienced it and #3+#4 hopefully will. All I can say, is I hope that the former president drops the soap.
8. Maybe she feels ashamed?
Michael ,   West Jerusalem   (11.11.11)
9. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.11.11)
Sorry for your pain Sarah.
10. #3
Sarah ,   Jerusalem   (11.11.11)
She is a liar !!?? and you are an idiot
11. #1 please explain
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.11.11)
Rape is bad, but murder is worse. You and A are advocating that Katzav gets at least 10 years, but how is that fair when in Israel a man who murdered 4 people received only 6 years?
12. protection from women
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (11.11.11)
How can we ever know what is true? In this case or in the case of McCain, nothing was said for years until finally some is said. Maybe she is correct, maybe he is corrrect. The police, the courts and media should not accept evidence with out witnesses unless there is a police report at the time. This way several years down the tubes, we can know that something might have happened. Who knows if the women are trying to extort money or something really happened??
13. The women haters are out in force these days...
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.11.11)
... aren't they? These people have no idea of how degrading it is for a woman to push a rape charge. But this hate against and doubt of a woman's word didn't start today, it is all over the Old Testament.
