1. Dont be sad Katzav you will have your
Dyslexic... ,   Israel....   (05.13.12)
friend the mayor too share your cell with,that should brighten up your day.
2. The judges have ZERO evidence
(05.13.12)
and yet he got a 7 year sentence because they believed some bitter women who lost their jobs. The self-appointed judges are a disgrace to Israel and to humanity. FEH!
3. #1 a question
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.13.12)
The court admits that Katsav was convicted with no evidence, just they preferred to believe A's version and not Katsav's. Now let's say that Sheftel has proof that Katsav is innocent, say a photograph undisputably proving he was somewhere else when the crime was allegedly taking place. Would you want the court to release Katsav, or would you prefer to keep an innocent man in jail?
4. Fat chance he'll get a presidential pardon from Pres. Peres.
(05.13.12)
after all Pres Mr. Peres knows very well: 1. "When Maidale says "No! It is No!" (and one moves on and asks the next maidale! and further 2. Pres. Mr. Peres had to deal with the staffing mess that this convicted rapist left!
5. This denial is disgrace to the country
Geula ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
Of cause his motion is denied, there was not a chance of the opposite. Because if they do look into the case and on all the facts, there is a fat chance that they will have to find out that they put an innocent man in prison. They consider it to be a shame! The truth is that this denial is disgrace to the country – for if there is a chance that he is innocent it is their duty to check the facts over and over again for the sake of justice and humanity.
6. Wisdom
michael Pielet ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
I hope that the President will exercise wisdom and rachmanones and pardon former Prime Minister Katsav.
7. Moshe Katsav is learning what real love is. It is
Rivkah   (05.13.12)
the love his wife Geta has for him: to love him and honor him for better or for worse until death parts them. That is agape love. To find out how much she loves him should be sustaining for him. That kind of love is eternal. It is the love HaShem has for His people who sin and repent and turn back to Him.
8. Again a comment about the "High Court"of Israel.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (05.13.12)
The only country whose people are "G-ds Children" and that should act as Light into Nations,is the only country in this world -at least in the western world-that condems somebody without 10000% proof of his guilt. It is a core principle to anyone that one can not be condemned in this way. The Supreme Court of Israel IS warped!Here we have one more example!
9. A single witness confession is not enough evidence.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (05.13.12)
As far as I know no other evidences are found in the Katzav case. It is shameful to jail the former head of state, a clear sign of jewish self hating in my eye.
10. Rivkah! Mrs. Katsav has requested...
Horatio ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
that all of us, the citizens of the State of Israel and the media respect her privacy. So how is that you are the exception to the rule? Please do leave the gracious lady be!
11. to 3#.Our justice system is the best in
Dyslexic.. ,   Israel...   (05.13.12)
the world.Katzav is guilty as charged.People with power like Katav have no scruples,they live in a world unto there own,they are the law.In our justice system everyman is equal unto the law.Katzav got what he deserved and his friend the mayor will join him soon.
12. NO forgiveness WITHOUT acknowledgement ofCRIMES.
hot snow ,   tlv   (05.13.12)
over all, plz STOP telling us about this RAPIST. tanx.
13. GREAT

Israeli 2   (05.13.12)
What is your evidence that Israel's justice system is the best in the world? I have NOT found it written anywhere. A justice system requires evidence and witnesses and what is called "beyond any reason of doubt." If it makes you feel any better, I too ONCE mistakenly thought like you.
16. Katsav, count your blessings!
Spencer ,   Israel   (05.13.12)
Katsav should count his blessings that he was not given a much heavier sentence. This man was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The only thing that the Court may have done that was wrong was not sentencing him to a longer term of imprisonment....and of course his Mayor backed him all the way....birds of a feather flock together.
17. #16
(05.14.12)
He was given the maximum sentence, the judges couldn't give him more. It is important because they want him to admit the crime he did not commit. If he admits, the case is over. If he doesn't admit, everyone will know he was a victim of Olmert/Peres dirty deal.
