it all amounts to the same "SHOW ME THE MONEY" On Monday it was reported that A. from the President's Residence intends to sue Katsav for millions in punitive damages for emotional pain and suffering and the loss of the ability to work. I am sure a few millions will make A and her mother' life more bearable LOL

Why exactly is it a historic day for women? Rapists get jailed all the time Katsav is just another individual who committed a crime and is going to jail for it. This is not a historic day for women and its certainly not a historic day for democracy. Please stop with the femanist crap and just say he committed the crime and now he is going to do the time subject closed no need for big speeches.

Your chauvanist macho attitude shows how tottaly clueless you are. Your damm right its a big day for women and feminism . Katsav and his scum lawyers used every means to discredit the complintants and drag them through the mud. Women should not be afraid to make a complaint when they are sexually harassed. its views like your that lead to such a so called macho society that thinks its ok to abuse women. Shame on you.

So if a man is someday convicted of raping your daughter or your wife or mother, will you suggest she would be able to get over it with money and that a little spending spree could lessen the harm of a rape? You see, I ask because your incredibly insensitive remarks suggest you have had some fairly horrible women as examples in your life--Is that what you are suggesting then, that this woman, "A", must be like the women you have been exposed to and therefore very tawdry and so ruthless they could be raped and then callous enough to seek money and go shopping? How sad for you!! I just want to say that not all women are whores, and I am sorry you have had that experience in your own life.

If Katsav's 7 years in jail cannot bring relief by the pain,horror, insult etc suffered by this woman, then how can a Million dollar check bring in the relief?? Question to ask yourself.

whoever messes around gets caught be it Katsav or you .The bigger the fish the higher the fall and embarassment .

When exactly did he become "Citizen no. 1?" He was a figurehead, elected to keep Peres out of office, and for anyone who bothers to read the paper, he is still picking up a pension of 47,000 sheks a month, probably the combined average monthly income of ten families in his benighted home town. If I said what I though his punishment should really be, Ynet would never print this.

If he said that he had sex since both wanted sex, he would be free man because there are no phisical or any other evidence at all. Peres wanted to replace him so he did convince her. I think Peres should pay her because she made him prez.

Why didnt these women leave their jobs. Why didnt they scream. They were not tide up . So why didnt they ran away and go straight to the police. I smell something fishy.!
