Oh, that is truly rich. A defender of Pope Pius calling me a liar. Charles -- find a life. You haven't many years left; shouldn't you make the best of them? Perhaps you might care to launch yourself upon the defense of the disgusting filth that is the Archdiocese of Goa. I have my doubts that you are a Jew, Charles. Perhaps you are the child of Roman Catholic Nazi collaborators and have spent most of your life pretending to be a Jew. I can think of no other explanation for your passionate defense of the actions of the Vatican during the Second World War, that's for sure.

There was no jury, stupid. Don't you know anything at all about Israeli jurisprudence? Care to re-craft your post before I really humiliate you? Try again, moron.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.16.12)
Spoken like a true victim of rape. I'm so sorry, Mea. Was it a trick gone bad? Perhaps you can find a job cleaning toilets or something; that way you wouldn't have to prostitute yourself. You know, you really don't have to spend your life on your knees.
34. I dont think Katsav should have gone to Jail.

35. 32 & 33 show the "level" of this "person"
Jol ,   Europe   (06.16.12)
Insulting everyone , even those who risked their lives to save Jews during WWII . Sad that her story about the Sbarro was a lie .
36. 35 is MINE

37. Sarah, I can see why
mea   (06.16.12)
you cannot tell the difference between an attorney and a hooker, but nevertheless, allow me to assure you that an attorney knows that the law covers employment situations where a subordinate could be pressured to have sex--NO rape kit needed. Keep going, genius.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.16.12)
Do you understand the difference between rape and sexual harassment? Hint: one requires a rape kit. Guess which?
39. separate religious wing in prison
Toronto ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.17.12)
Why do they have a separate religious wing? Do they think that the religious prisoners would be a bad influence on the others?
40. To No. 10
Spencer ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
What a load of BS. The ex-President is a common rapist who deserved what he got and more. Why should he have gotten special privileges. If anything, he should have received an even harsher sentence for abusing his power and disgracing the office of "President" .
41. Agree with #10,and add that ...
(06.17.12)
...this case look much more like a vengeance than a serious justice system at work.

mba ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
What a bottom feeder! No one knows the law except for, that's right, Sarah B- the jewish american princess who spews and sputters, rants and pouts but has no real, meaningful thoughts. For awhile you were entertaining but even this you have managed to turn to bile.
43. To #42.
S ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
I agree 100% Too much of a good thing tends to make one vomit.So much of what Sarah B writes is pure BS. She doesn't live in Israel yet she often claims to be an expert on what's going on here. In the beginning there were a few good responses from her but more often than not, nowadays, she puts her tongue (pen) into top gear and her brain into neutral. Her support for Katsav is unbelievable. If she had had a daughter who was one of this evil mans victims I am sure we would have heard a completely different story from her.'Sarah, my advice to you is to think before you dive in at the deep end without knowing your fact.
44. To SARAH B !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (06.17.12)
THE PEOPLE THAT CRITICIZE YOU ARE OF THE MALE GENDER BUT HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH THE REALITY ! I BET THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAD A GIRLFRIEND , THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MALE FEMALE RELATIONSHIP ! YOUR COMMENTS ARE CORRECT PLEASE CONTINUE IN YOUR RIGHT DIRECTION !
45. #26, #30 help me out here
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.17.12)
These are the facts: the investigation started when Aleph tried to blackmail Katsav. He reported the attempt to Mazuz, who dismissed the blackmail charges and found Katsav guilty of rape despite no evidence whatsoever. Now tell me, what makes more sense to you, a or b. a. A man who raped a woman, reports to the AG that she is blackmailing him? b. Or Israel's most corrupt PM and his power-hungry ally Peres work together with the most incompetent AG to frame Katsav, figuring he'd take a plea bargain and end the story cleanly?
46. #45 conspiracy theorist
yigal ,   north   (06.17.12)
facts are not your forte'.On 28 June 2007, Katsav's lawyers reached a plea bargain in which Katsav would plead guilty to several counts of sexual harassment and indecent acts and receive a suspended jail sentence.If I recall correctly, charges against 6 other women were dismissed because of statute of limitations and he would pay compensation to two of the victims. The rape charges brought by A. would be dropped, as well as Katsav's charges of blackmail.You forgot Katsav's blackmail charges. On 30 December 2010, Katsav was unanimously found guilty of "rape, sexual harassment, committing an indecent act while using force, harassing a witness and obstruction of justice" by the three-judge panel.Judge Karra read the verdict which stated that Katsav "engaged in a campaign of vilification against the plaintiffs".Seems that campaign was successful ,as some on this board are not convinced of his guilt.Katsav faced a maximum sentence of 49 years.He got off easy. Million $$ lawyers will make sure of that. The fact that sometimes the courts show leniency when judging severe crimes,Is a crime In Itself. stick to the facts and leave the personal Insults to trashy chat rooms. Its too damn hot to waste energies on atzabim.
47. Most Rapes are Not on Strangers from the Streets
Netanya ,   Netanya   (06.18.12)
Everyone knows most rapes are from family members, friends, friends of family. This mean that also do not grab girls to rape them, however why does it matter? Should we begin to let all rapists who only rape family members go free, since they are not a threat to the public?
