1. Katsav is pure evil
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
He continues to rape these women. PUT HIM IN PRISON! TAKE HIM OFF THE STREETS!
2. Any other person would have been behind bars
Avi ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
Katsav continues to flaunt the law with his fancy lawers, Only when this sex preditor is behind bars will his victims be able to move on.
3. When is this rapist going to jail?
(07.11.11)
How long is this stupid business going to drag on and on and on? He was found guilty, he was sentenced, get him into prison, what is taking so long?
4. #1 and #2
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (07.11.11)
They said the same about Straus-Kahn, with tens of women running to the press with horror stories about his behavior. After a public and fair trial in the US, Straus-Kahn was entirely acquitted and the accusing woman turned out to be a blackmailer. Katsav was less lucky. After years of defamation, he was given a secret trial held behind closed doors where he was found guilty despite the prosecution presenting no evidence.
5. How much more??
Ros ,   Tel Aviv   (07.11.11)
How much more time and money must be spent on this man. He should have been in jail from the very beginning and certainly should be in jail now. Why should he be different - he did the same as any other rapist!!!
6. Katsav Case
Moragh   (07.11.11)
I'm getting quite dizzy here. Katsav raped some women plus was indecent to others. He was found guilty, but never saw the inside of a prison and seems to be still walking around free. I never trusted the face of Mazuz and wanted to see the back of him - where is he and did Katsav grease his fists? The Israeli Police force are really not to be trusted, are they?
7. #4 You reveal your ignorance.
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
There were not "tens of women running to the press." There was no "public and fair trial." The accusing woman has NOT been found to be a "blackmailer." You are just as accurate about what happened here. There was a great deal of evidence presented against him. He received a fair trial. Indeed, our laws prevented MANY other women from testifying because the statute of limitations had expired. He was justly convicted and will, one day, begin a prison term of many years which he justly deserves. He is a rapist. He is a disgusting, lying, abusive monster who BELONGS in prison. Now you know the facts.
8. #7
Ram ,   London   (07.11.11)
You sound like judge and jury all-in-one. It is reassuring to know there is a judicial system that protects from people like you.
9. #8
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
No, thank G-d, we have an honorable justice system that convicted this sleazebag. It did not and does not need me. And I am not acting as "judge and jury all-in-one" when I merely recite the history and fact surrounding this ugly matter.
10. #7 huh?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (07.11.11)
Tens of women: look up the lawyer Emmanuel Pierrat. The trial, what happened between June 6 and June 30? Blackmail: the accuser demanded money, and when Straus-Kahn refused to give it, she accused him of rape. You allege that Katzav received a fair trial. Where I can find records of the trial? I can't because the trial was held behind closed doors. What evidence proves that Katzav raped? Without seeing the records we won't know, all we know is that the press says that the judges decided that Katzav is lying. Maybe Katzav is a rapist, but we don't really know because it was a secret trial.
11. Agree
Vic ,   Israel   (07.11.11)
What this women care about is just money. Ugly feminism. They need to be punished, not the old man.
12. #4: Learn to read! There hasn't been a DSK trial. Katsav....
Noam Chimpsky ,   Carmiel, Israel   (07.11.11)
was convicted by three judges, legal experts, who listened to testimony for a year and half. Katsav will be going to the jail he deserves real soon. The only ones who support him are illiterate knuckleheads like you.
13. huh?
nva ,   jerusalem   (07.11.11)
How can any of the commentators here say that this man got a fair trial? Many lawyers and others who have read the case documents concur completely there was no evidence. It was strictly a "he said, she said" argument. Of the 3 judges one was an Israeli arab whose track record of using the bench for his radical anti-Israel/anti-Jewish/Zionist positions is well known, and another judge is a feminist. This was a fair trial???? baloney. and btw..just for the record....how on earth does a woman get raped in a hotel room when she goes there with a man and checks into the hotel with him .??
14. The man is a serial liar, surrounded by thugs, who...
Noam ,   Carmiel, Israel   (07.12.11)
continue to use illegal, at best shady tactics. He was a lousy president and a second-rate politician who got where he did only because he handed out favors from the Likud bag of goodies. May he rot in jail.
15. to # 14
Vic   (07.12.11)
Noam, can you show some respect to former President of israel. Please read again post #13. It clearly expains the nonsence of this trial.
