Meanwhile in Israel...

Israel's hottest issue at the moment is the alleged rape by Israel's President Moshe Katsav of several women. Alleged because in Israel, the same as in many Western countries, a man is innocent till proven otherwise. In that sense Israel is more Western despite its Middle Eastern location as indicated by commentator Keith Graves, in that that it at least investigates the allegation without letting the title interrupt the investigation. However Israel is truly becoming like America in other ways as well: it too has an alleged womenizer for a president, just like former President Bill Clinton.
