1. He can wrap himself in a Tallis 24/7..he is still a rapist
Al   (12.31.10)
and deserves to be jailed and forgotten. Nothing but a severe sentence will mitigate his offence. At the same time the victims should sue him for civil damages. He is a lowlife and a thug..Forget about him and his supporters. They are trash.
2. He brought this shame and dishonour upon himself and
miri ,   israel   (12.31.10)
in the process brought injury to those women who suffered his treatment of them. He does not deserve to have his case reconsidered. He does not deserve the financial support of our taxpayer's money - over one mil. a year !
3. The gander now feels like the goose(s)
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.31.10)
For those that don't know - gander is the male goose.
4. Bad Choice Feminist & Arab Judges/
BadchoiceofJudges ,   china and israel   (12.31.10)
5. katsav
sas ,   israel   (12.31.10)
he should be behind bars and not allowed out of his house with people. the man is sick and an embarrasment to the stae of israel.
6. Measure for measure
Rita ,   United States   (12.31.10)
Katzav went along with the evil and played his part in expelling 10,000 Jews out of their homes in Gush Katif , now he will be thrown out of his home.
7. Katsav should be depressed,when you
Dyslexic........ ,   Israel.........   (12.31.10)
put your brains between your legs thats the result and then you pay for the consequences.
8. #4 crawling out of the woodwork
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.31.10)
Just a question of time before the Voodoo Rabbis come out with a letter demanding that there should be no Arab judges in the Jewish State
9. So, #4, Rita, guilt of rape is inconsequential here?
noa ,   israel   (12.31.10)
And you wonder why we don't want people like you running the country. Irrationality is not a prized quality in Judaism.
10. Is he now depressed? I bet he is
id   (12.31.10)
because his brains couldn't grasp the law. He sure thought the law is for the humble, for the weak, for the helpless. But he made a mistake because the judicial system in Israel is still sound and functioning. So, here we have our 8th President a RAPIST. Most surely he has reason to be depressed. Shame on him and let us all throw him into oblivion as quickly as we can !
11. why is he at home
biggus dickus ,   wome   (12.31.10)
he should have been led out of the court in hadcuffs into the waiting police car and put straight in jail. then the headline should say he is "depressed in jail." what is going on...are we a country that lets rapists walk around free
12. Ditto and Amen
Iris ,   Jerusalem   (12.31.10)
to response #1-2-5-7-10-11... We can just pray that the judges will give him a ''double digit'' jail term!!!
13. He will be even more depressed once in prison
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (12.31.10)
He should be put in the same cell as Ehud Olmert. That would be real torture!
14. When reality hits delusion oft times depression results!
(12.31.10)
This man has been delusional for years...finally reality (his guilt) has met up with his delusion (his claim of innocence) and you know depression is the result.
15. "Quote"
Raptor   (12.31.10)
Sometimes the little head tells the big head what to do but the big head should think twice before doing it.
16. Auf Yidish sogt
Benyomin   (12.31.10)
Wen shmock steht sechel geht.
17. The 'rapist'
Noel Nesor ,   Israel   (12.31.10)
Of course, he is oblivious to the depression he placed on the numerous women he raped over the years. In my book no remorse or acceptance of guilt equals maximum possible sentence.
18. When his Dick woke up, his brain went to sleep
sharkie   (12.31.10)
19. Katsav 'depressed.' The rape victim suffered much more.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.31.10)
20. He may be a liar and he may be a
Israeli 2   (01.01.11)
coercionist. He may be a manipulator and he may be inappropriate. Why convict him of rape if there is no hard evidence of rape? I will be the first one to join all of you in calling him a scum and a rapist once that hard evidence is presented. As far as I am concerned, Israel raped the president for some reason.
21. The Message
Adam Neira ,   Melb, Australia   (01.01.11)
Not everyone who has committed a crime of sexual assault against another human being in the Jewish community will be charged in such a public way as Moshe Katsav, but this is an important case. It helps set the tone and powerfully impinges on the group consciousness. As a leader of the nation he had certain responsibilities to carry out. As President he was also given a lot of material support and assistance. He certainly wasn’t a righteous tzaddiks toiling under poverty conditions and little pay. The conviction coming on the Christian/Gregorian New Year's Eve was a clever piece of management. May this help turn the tide permanently in the Holy Land. Prayers for the women involved and all victims of sexual assault.
