Moshe Katsav: How Israel Treats Rapists (Even Presidents) v. How Muslims Treat Rape Victims
I wasn’t going to write about Moshe Katsav, the former Israeli President who was sentenced to seven years in prison for rape. To me, it’s not news. In fact, it’s only news because he is Jewish and he led the Jewish State. But so many anti-Semites and interested readers have asked for my take, and I think it’s important to note a few things, in addition to the fact that President is a figurehead position in Israel, without much power.
How Israelis and Jews Treat Rapists . . .
Former Israeli President Moshe Katsav
How Muslims Treat Rape Victims . . .
Muslim Mid-East leaders and average Muslim Joes (or Youssefs, er . . . Mohammeds) on the Arab Street rape women on a regular basis. And they are neither tried nor convicted nor sent to prison by their own governments. . . unlike Katsav and any other person who commits rape in Israel. But we NEVER read about it in the NYTimes and on the (self-hating Jew) Drudge Report because they couldn’t care less when a Muslim man rapes a woman. Happens every minute of the day, but it’s accepted, covered up, and the victim is the “criminal” in Islam. We know how women are treated in every Mid-East country other than Israel: they are property, chattel, baby factories, rape toys with no rights.
There’s a reason in Israel women don’t have to walk around with sheets over their heads and only their eye slits showing. On average, Jewish men can control themselves. They are civilized and humane. They aren’t violent animals who rape women at will, after hearing them called “uncovered meat” in sermons. They don’t enter a family’s home at night while they are sleeping on a religious holiday and stab them to death, beheading a few-months-old baby. And the minuscule few that do are tried, convicted, and sent to jail for the crime. In Muslim nations, they are heroes for raping and the raped woman is stoned to death by her father, brother, and uncle. But, hey, the perpetrating animals are not Jewish and not from Israel, so Drudge and the New York Times couldn’t care less.
You simply never hear about rape trials for men in the Muslim Mid-East. In fact, the only “rape” I ever heard of was when a Black servant’s hand accidentally brushed against one of his Saudi Arabian master’s many wives’ hands while he was serving the food. After that, his head was severed in the Kingdom’s Chop-Chop Square as a reminder to Black slaves not to have accidents, while Saudi Kings, royals, and sheikhs can kidnap and enslave any woman they want for their personal sex slave harem. They’ll never be accused, go to trial, be convicted, and go to jail like Katsav. Never.
So what’s the fuss over? That Israel has a justice system? That Israel respects women as humans? That a man who was accused of rape in Israel had a fair trial–extinct everywhere else in the Mid-East, and was found guilty by a jury of his peers, not a star chamber of Muslim imams and monarchs? That he was then sent to prison for rape, which happens in Israel but almost never anywhere in the 22 Muslim states surrounding it?
Also, Moshe Katsav is a Sephardic Jew. Sephardic Jews are, in general, Jews from Arab lands and Asia, though Sepharad means Spain. The Arabs and the Muslims always like to claim that Israel treats Sephardim bad (though not half as bad as the Arabs treated them), so they love this story, b/c they can say, ya see! . . . . while also laughing that Israel looks bad because a former figurehead leader was found guilty of rape, something you’ll never see any Muslim leader ever even accused of, lest the victim be found in pieces the next day, with her tongue and clitoris (if she still had one) sent to her family in a box. That’s how they roll there.
Katsav was born in Yazd, Iran, and I guarantee you, he would never have been given the opportunity to be President of Iran, let alone given the opportunity of even a trial were he accused there. He’d be instantly beheaded. Or, since the rape was against a Jewish woman, the Iranians might even give him a pass since Jewish life isn’t considered human, whether male or female. I also guarantee you that not a single Iranian Jew still there today . . . or in Yemen or in Egypt would have a trial for anything, including the seizure of their homes. The few remaining Iranian Jews, today, live under house arrest, not for rape, but simply because they are Jews. Even if they had a trial, it would be a show trial, and they’d be railroaded.
And while we are on the subject of rape in the Middle East, please note that many Sephardic Jewish families in Muslim lands were forced to marry their daughters off in their early teens. They did this because, otherwise, Muslim men would rape them (and sometimes, they raped them anyway) and ruin their lives. Not a single one of those Muslim men was ever tried for the rape. There were also never trials for the million Jews kicked out of Muslim lands whose homes were seized, property taken, and they left to save their lives from ongoing Muslim pogroms, televised hangings, etc.
So when I compare all this to what happened to Moshe Katsav, I see a civilized Western country that doesn’t condone violence, that has a fair and open legal system, that is unlike the entire mass of 1.8 billion savages surrounding them and invading Western culture.
Which society would you prefer . . . the one where a country’s President was accused of rape and went to jail for it, or the one where women are like yesterday’s shawarmeh, consumed at will, then thrown out like yesterday’s garbage without a second thought, except to plan the honor killing?
One is a civilization. The rest are the zoo.
Jews and Westerners say not to rapists and send them to prison. Muslims say, “Women . . . the other halal meat.”

Debbie your point is well taken, about contrasting the “justice” in Muslim lands with that of Israel. I know that Katzav’s guilt or innocence is not the point of your post. However for the sake of those reading here who may not know the details, there is every reason to believe that Katzav was falsely accused and that his political enemies are behind the ruse. The rape “victim” actively petitioned to keep her job and follow him around from post to post even after her supposed rape. What rape victim does that? She also went willingly with him to a hotel room AFTER the supposed rape, again, what victim does that? Lastly, she took her sweet time bringing charges — years, in fact. It’s all very suspicious. I hate rapists with a passion but I don’t think Katsav is guilty.
