1. You can take the girl out of Netanya but
Haim ,   TA   (08.29.11)
You cant take Natanya out of the girl.
2. If she is convicted?
jason white ,   afula, israel   (08.29.11)
Will she be known as Margoon?
3. Another symptom
mba ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
Just another nail in the coffin of Israeli "Rule of Law". Court orders not being enforced, laws passed by the Knesset not being enforced, a culture of "cutting corners" and "it'll be ok". Cross contamination among politicians, tycoons, judges, celebs. An entire group (religious) living in a different state with their own laws and everyone afraid to touch them. We had better get our act together for the Palestinians are the least of our worries.
4. I know her personally...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
And I say that she is innocent till proven innocent...
5. Is This How The Entertainment Business Works?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (08.29.11)
One wonders how many "stars" are successful from pure talent and popularity, and how many have retained public visibility due to backstage strong-arming, threats and extortion. From the way this story is playing out, it seems that many celebrities have made it because their "backers" have squeezed the right buttons, as it were. Is it unlikely that this mediocre woman herself has pushed herself into gigs simply because promoters and producers "knew who they were dealing with?"
6. #3 mba: The Levant stays put as the years go by. Accept it.

7. #3: Couldn't agree with you more but you left out ....

the deals made with the prosecutors, the judges allowing ridiculous plea bargains and holding court sessions behind closed doors! As for the Knesset, yes, they vote for a law which then becomes an Act and a few months later they vote for the Economic Adjustment Law as part of the budget and postpone or repeal the laws they passed a few months before! Netanyahu says "Israel is a Democracy". So this is democratic? Justice must be done and must be seen to be done. Court proceeding must be open (except for special circumstances like State Security and to protect children and rape victims) not hidden away like thieves in the night!
8. since I am an Italian Jew what I want to know is:
Italian Jew ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
is capo, capo-regime, and consiglieri over there at channel 2? I ask this question because this isn't the first time someone from channel 2 has ended up with very serious charges against them. So what's the real story? Why now? Why Margol?
