The people of Israel through their court, has affirmed to the world that they had as a president, a man whose libido was so high he rapes women? Their court convicted their former President Moshe Katsav of various sexual offences including rape, indecent assault and sexual harassment of female subordinates; one of who worked as his (sexual)aide until she was fired because according to her complaint, she was tired of being a sexual object for the president. Icheoku says it appears the former president forgot too soon that hell knows no fury like a woman scorned otherwise he should have been more smart going about the dismissal his former sexual mistress. But what is it anyway with men of power and their inability to keep their whiny zipped up inside their pants, from America's President Bill Clinton to the other Jewish former New York governor Elliot Spitzer? Anyway one thing that came out of this conviction is that the law is no respecter of persons in Israel and that every person is equal under the law; unlike in Nigeria where such dalliances are privileged of the men of power and considered sanctified by the victims that till date, no one has yet prosecuted Olusegun Obasanjo for his incestuous liaison with his daughter in-law, Mojisola Olugbenga Obasanjo. It also appears that there is a permissive culture of sexual oppression and exploitation of women amongst some Israeli men which led one commentator to say concerning the guilty verdict of President Katsav, "the verdict delivered a mortal blow to the macho culture that turns women onto an object of despicable sexual exploitation in Israel." Icheoku considers this commentary too hard and very telling on Israeli men, which is now somehow conclusively buttressed with the rape conviction of an Israeli former first man, President Moshe Katsav for series of sexual offenses. It will be recalled that an earlier reached plea bargain was rejected as an unjust protectionist ploy to shield the president from prosecution. Convicted President Katsav, 66, who served as president of Israel from 2000 to 2007 now faces between 4 to 16 years imprisonment, barring any successful appeal of the verdict or a pardon from the authorities. Icheoku says one of the moral lessons taught by this conviction is for men in authorities to control sexual drive while in public office or authority and never to enrage anyone holding them on the balls, especially when that one is a woman! Finally, Icheoku wants to know whether the convicted Israeli president would be required to register as a sexual predator and sex offender upon the completion of his prison term?
