His advisor is a shallow empty disgusting excuse for vermin. How dare he say 'the case proved to be much ado about nothing'? He's trying to save his own corrupt ass. What about the victims? whether it was rape or not, he admitted to sexual misconduct. It's unacceptable!!!! His wife is a pathetic loser for sticking with him as well. Cut ALL benefits to him.

Motti Morell, like his patron Katzav, is probably one of those men who believe that the place of the woman in Israeli society is to be seen and not heard and to be humped, thumped and bumped at the whim of any male that walks by!

what a contrived mess lies create and this is a glaring example of injustice. It says in effect, women don't matter in Israel and that a man if given enough power is as evil as the evil we fight every day with injustice. A very dark stain on Israeli justice. Absolutely astonishing!

katzav was indicted for nothing. the girl was just seeking money, like they all do in the US after the motto, sue whoever you can - whenever u get the chance! put her in jail instead!

I wonder why our "vice" PM in charge of sexual assaults has nothing to say about this? Katsav, regardless of his guilt, has already paid (perhaps unjustly) for this by being forced from office in disgrace. Ramon was rehabilitated because his politics are more 'correct' in the eyes of our elites..

Especially as I've been posting with that appellation for a while (though, i admit, it's been a little while). It certainly is worth discussing when political hacks pander to a politician rather than take that person to court. Then the almost always wrong High Court makes another idiotic decision. The AG said the evidence was very strong -- right up until he caved to pressure. The victims are still willing to be witnesses, and if Katsav was really so upset about the charges, you'd think he'd be able to follow up his claims by disproving the charges in court. The plea is disgusting. The fact that HC allowed it is almost as bad.

"humped, thumped and bumped at the whim of any male that walks by!" Instead of: wine me, dine me, 69 me. Shame.

Katzav has never been charged with anything. He is innocent. Ramon was convicted of crimes much worse than the plea bargain Katzav is being forced to agree to. The real victims of this farce, apart from Katzav, are women who are really raped and are now afraid to turn to the courts. Thank you Mazuz. Thank you Supreme Court.

My bossis smart. he has a glass panel on the door to his office.

pretty soon, female employees of Israels cabinet will have either carry guns or take photos. Love to see these creeps on YouTube with their pants down around their ankles. The women could always act like cowboys, draw their pistols, aim and say "Dance sucker". LOL, wouldn't that make a swell movie?

This is not justice it's a white washing of a prick with power. May he back up into a horny camel. 1984 has arrived in Israel. All animals are created equal, EXCEPT THE PIGS.

"Katzav has never been charged with anything. He is innocent." 1) Not being charged does not mean "innocent" 2) He pleaded guilty to lesser charges, so he is not innocent 3) #2 is a typical tactic when you know the court would find you guilty of greater charges. The man has been found guilty of sexual offenses and has not been found guilty of the greater charges. In neither case has he been shown to be innocent. The greatest hypocrisy is your "the real victims", since it's people such as you, Katsav and Mazuz who have made them greater victims. When people in power protect each other, it's the people out of power who lose.
