1. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Orly
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.05.13)
Life was so terrible, you never once contemplated finding another job, is that right? You never once thought about quitting. You never once thought about going to the police. Go ahead, Orly. Tell the truth. You found yourself a cash cow. Please know that those of us who know about your past -- arrests for solicitation (!) and shoplifting -- hold you in the highest contempt. Mr. Katsav gave you a chance, when no one else would -- and this is how you repay him? Shame on you.
2. #1

So all of the women are lying, the justice system is not worth anything, and only you know what really happened? Why do you assume that she is at fault? Orly was not the only woman who experienced this behavior from Katzav. Have you read or listened to any of the coverage in Hebrew? She was threatened by Katzav that he would make sure she could not get any other job if she didn't submit to him. He was in a position to make good on that threat. Don't blame the victim.
3. There is no "A" in "Orly"
Tahl   (06.05.13)
Why was her name abbreviated in such a stupid way?
4. her name is "O", not "A"...

You are right that the fact that Katsav was convicted with no evidence, and only on the basis of the unverifiable testimony of one woman (not women) does not put the "justice system" in a good light. However, I think that #1 was referring to the fact that the investigation started when Katsav complained that A tried to blackmail him (she never went to the police herself) and that the AG was so certain that A was lying, that they filed no charges based on her testimony.
6. Wrecked credibility
mea   (06.05.13)
This is one case that went into the blender of translations and came out messed up. On the one hand I believe Katzav was/is a king sized creepy rapist--but on the other it appears suspect that a victim would keep a diary, take 600 phone calls from the perp, and allow filming? I think this lady is a bit mixed up.
7. Logical thinking Sarah. I agree.
Israeli 2   (06.05.13)
8. #3-4 Maybe "A" is used in place of Hebrew "Aleph"
Jake   (06.05.13)
And in Hebrew Orly starts with the letter 'Aleph'.
9. No. 1 Sara your obnoxious coment is offending
Mike ,   Israel   (06.05.13)
to not only women but men as well. Your claims that you somehow know the facts more than the courts who convicted this rapist in jail is so typical of most of your comments. He is a convicted rapist and in my opinion got of lightly.
10. A
roy ,   tel aviv-israel   (06.05.13)
in hebrew her name start with the letter "alef"(א) and she was called alef before her name was reveald
11. Speak for yourself #9 - not for men
Israeli 2   (06.05.13)
because you are no man. You are a suit.
12. (1) Sara B, shame on you!

Birdi ,   Israel   (06.05.13)
# 9, is a man, in a suit, with a shirt & tie! Mike has got the guts to give his opinion here & you say he is not a man? Have you met Mike?? do you know Mike?? Well, I say, Mike is a man. I say, Katzav is guilty. His reputation as a womanizer is well known. No need to question our justice system. Orly may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, she has the right speak up; because now she is allowed to. Whether she worked as a nursery aid or a hooker is not the point here. Katzav ''went down" he is serving his time now, deal with it.
14. Justice?
michael Pielet ,   israel   (09.11.13)
This women is a congenital liar. After the make believe rape she is writing Katsav love letters. Another example of a corrupt israeli judiciary and media. Where is the corroborative evidence. Katsav should apologize the being sephardic and religious. Those are his crimes.
15. One political prisoner in Israel !
Marian ,   Romania   (09.11.13)
I understand that in the only civilized country, exepting a few european, latin american countries and Japan there are POLITICAL PRISONERS ( one and jewish).
