1. Indicative of what's going on in this country....
Etty ,   Ashdod   (09.16.08)
How pathetic is that? Disgracegul!
2. How about running for Jerusalem Mayor as well
Simon ,   TA Israel   (09.16.08)
Gee whats next? maybe he could run for Jerusalem mayor, after all the candidates also include an ex con and fugitive on the run from the French authorities so whats a serial sex offender and a rapist got to loose?
3. This decision is indicative
Sagi ,   Israel   (09.16.08)
of a sickness. All residents of this buiding should demonstrate against his upcoming occupancy and once he is in residence they should boycott him completely.
4. What a disgusting arrogant excuse for a man.
Talula ,   Israel   (09.16.08)
5. trouble in world $$$ - join the Knesset
chop-chop   (09.16.08)
The Knesset committee opted to wait, WHY ?? It's only the People's money flowing in their private coffers. Since many ( ? ) members of this Auguste Body are, will be, or contemplating to rip-off their fellow Jews, they are preparing themselves in order to receive the same ' treatment ' for their nest egg.. As Katsav spew one of his his memorable outburst "" I WILL SHOW YOU "" and he does... laughing in his way to the bank to collect YOUR hard earned money. PS: I suspect that Olmert will be added to the list and order a suite in the Azriel Tower. --- I was told that Azriel is contemplating another twin tower to accomodate the influx of our Politiciens "" a la retraite ""
6. Are there women's rights in Israel?
hassa ,   planet earth   (09.16.08)
Are the people dead?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are women's rights groups? where the hell is human decency. The guy is a suspect only because the AG didn't have the guts to charge him formally. He would be rotting in jail (getting raped by cell mates) if Mazuz would act. And the most disgraceful of all is how silent women's groups are!
7. Now he'll be looking for a secretary.
Lenny ,   Israel   (09.16.08)
8. this man is pathetic
Ruben ,   Tel Aviv   (09.16.08)
how can he show his face in public, let alone demand benifits?
9. Pigs with their snout in the trough
Sid Emess ,   Yerushalim   (09.16.08)
Any more who want to milk the poor to stuff themselves. Out with them and the AG who is such a weakling
10. red tape? not!
Miriam ,   Basel, switzerland   (09.16.08)
red tape is to blame? I think not- this stinks of corruption- is there one decent person in government left? Please close the door behind you when you finally leave- hopefully there still will be an Israel when that happens.
11. Mazuz is the kind of attorney general olmert likes
zionist forever   (09.16.08)
Israel is the most corupt state in the Middle East. In the arab world there is the supreme ruler and his close little circle of friends who get all the money and perks. In Israel everybody is in on it. In Israel every single political party over the years has had at least one senior individual investigated over some sort of scandal. It seems the law in Israel is if your honest your not welcome in politics. The MKS are all apointed by their party based on who sucks up to the boss best and the unelected MKS vote on who should be the president. Mazuz never prosecutes anybody. Arial Sharon survived Moshe Katsav survived Ehud olmert will survive The only time he ever gets involved is if it concerns the palestians. He refused to grant permision to cut electrical supplies to Gaza, he refused to allow the home of the terrorist who murdered 3 with a bulldozer to have his house demolished. He did crack down very hard on protestors to the Gush Katif evacuation. The US has been making an effort to force the PA to clean up their act. As there is no desire to clean up Israeli politics then maybe we need the US to tell Israel clean up your act or you cant have anything of us. The good news for Olmert is that he can resign as PM and know for certain he is safe, Mazuz will never prosecute him no matter how much evidence there is and that the state will pay him a very generous pension.
12. there is never a budget cut for politicians
zionist forever   (09.17.08)
NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE ARMY NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR SOCIAL SERVICES We always here about how short of money state state is but if your a serving or former politician the state has very deep pockets. There is an MK living in Jordan who is on the run for treason but living on a nice MKS pension. We have a man who should be in jail for rape having offices in expensive areas of Tel Aviv, a luxury car, assistants, an expense account paid for by taxpayers. That doesnt include his generous presidents pension. Katsav is only one ex president that get perks like this for nothing but he isnt the only president to be entitled to all these things after retirement. Important services have their budgets cut year in year out but political budgets go up all the time MKS just vote to treat themselves. If they had their budgets cut now and again and we were not so generous to retired MKS & presidents there would be millions saved every year.
13. Katsav's golden years, like all Israelis

To # 8. Ruben of T.A Benefits ?, How ?, very simple, just for the asking. It was granted by his "Prestigious " fraternity brothers, those in the same predicament.. The azriel Tower is the perfect location. Safe, convenient, elevators, heated garage for chauffeured limo, 24 hour security, walking distance to a Mc Donald.. The Most perfect retirement complex in the country.
