1. I thought he was "facing rape charges" 2 years ago
(03.08.09)
how long are we gonna drag this sitcom of a trial?
2. I have a question-why play "democrasy", if EVERYTHING deside

by "king of slaves" mr. Mazuz?????
3. in the immortal words of Twanda...
(03.08.09)
"I think its hog boiling time!" In other words this former president behaved in an un presidential piggy fashion...send him to his day in court and well let the judges decide!
4. what happened to his tax payer funded plea bargin
zionist forever   (03.08.09)
I thought Mazuz accepted a plea bargin in 2006 Katsav pleads guilty to sexual harrasment and agrees to resign as president which he didn't want to do. In exchange he gets a slap on the wrist and suspended sentence along with HIs presidential pension Offices in downtown Tel Aviv A private secretary A luxury car Security provided by Shin Bet All kindly paid for by the tax payers. Could it be that Mazuz is doing a U turn and going to indicte the man? The real sad part of this story is just like PM Olmert Katsav was determined to hold onto his job as president no matter how much embaresment he was bringing to the country. These corupt politicians think the defenition of public servant is the publlic are there to serve the politician not the other way around.
5. A trial is to judge whether or not a person is guilty..
martin knopfman ,   tel aviv   (03.08.09)
Tsur said, "for the first time in Israel, the attorney-general has decided to charge a man when he is not certain that [that man] is actually guilty" If it was known beforehand that a person was guilty the it would only be necessary to charge him or her and not put them on trial. Martin

HE DESERVES EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING. THE MAN IS A SLOB AND SHOULD BE PUT BEHIND BARS.
9. Katzav is tzadik. Women shut up!

10. Mr. Katsav is lucky to be alive to face charges since in my
Rivkah   (03.08.09)
observation, a senior in authority misusing his authority to have sex with a junior who cannot refuse and keep her job in many circumstances could have resulted in the death of a Katsav child or Mr. Katsav himself OR a plague that kills a third of the nation. When King David sinned with a junior's wife who could not refuse without jeopardizing her husband and herself, the consequence was the death of David's child by BatSheva. When King David numbered the people when the Lord did not want that done, the consequence was a plague that killed a third of the nation. People in high office must remember that the consequences of sin can affect the whole nation. Were the Second Lebanon War and the Gaza war a consequence of sins of high officials? Something is causing God not to protect Israel. It is more likely the sin of sodomy and wanton eyes in Jerusalem, but who is to say it was not the sins of Mr. Katsav if the allegations are true? He should thank the Lord he is alive to face charges without the death of his wife or a child as the judgment or a plague on Israel.
11. Katsav
M. ,   Presently England   (03.08.09)
I would call him a male whore.
12. what does it take to be a politican in israel?
fed up ,   israel   (03.08.09)
robbery, sex molester, bribery, greek island.................................. and more
13. the real victims
(03.08.09)
Every time an innocent man is accused of rape and eventually acquitted, the real victims of rape suffer. A and her lawyer will have to remember that they have hurt all real rape victims who will be afraid to go to the police. I hope that their moments of fame were worth it.
14. Finally Katsov, now indict Olmert.

15. A scum going to trial
Hassa ,   planet earth   (03.09.09)
What's the big deal? The scumbag is going to court. Let the judges decide if he's guilty or not. If he was so pure, why did he initially agree to the plea bargain?

a trial by judge &/or jury will determine if Katsav is innocent or guilty..So he should be tried. I cannot believe the women would make these charges if not true. Israel isn't an Islamic country where women who are raped are killed by these so called honour killings. Get real, Shalom,
