How appropriate that the leader of a nation responsible for decades of abuse and brutalization of another people should turn out to be a rapist. The following sounds almost metaphorical:

Based on the testimony of “A” and at least three other women who worked for Katsav during his tenure as president and before that as a cabinet minister, and who allege that he harassed them sexually, the attorney general on Tuesday revealed that Katsav faces indictment on charges of rape, obstruction of justice and fraud…The president’s looming indictment is the latest installment in a seemingly endless chain of corruption and sex scandals rocking the Israeli political establishment. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert faces a criminal probe over his role in a bank privatization; the justice minister is up for sexual harassment; the finance minister for corruption, as is the country’s top tax man.

But isn’t it ironic the man should be held accountable for the rape of one (or three), where he has so far gotten away with that of a whole nation?
