Police pressured a 12-year old to make a false statement.
A jury convicted the black suspect, and he spent 39 years before being exonerated thanks to the heroic work of the Ohio Innocence Project.

But it's patented &, with monopoly markup, priced out of reach of most women whom it could benefit.
Here some pricing examples:

“This surgeon’s mode of torture was being raped to death.”

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Nick Maynard, a British surgeon who has worked repeatedly in Gaza since 2010, highlights evidence and testimonies regarding the killing of Palestinian surgeon in an Israeli prison

Testimony by a British doctor.

[The Muslim Mum @TheMumMuslim]

British surgeon who operated on Palestinians in Gaza, tells Tucker Carlson how the Israelis would deliberately shoot starving male children in the testicles, shoot vulnerable pregnant women in their stomachs, and let new born babies die in incubators - leaving their tiny bodies to rot for weeks on end...

How much more evidence do we need against this evil satanic Israeli regime?!

🚨 NEW: UN report details rape, gang rape and genital violence against Palestinian detainees by Israeli forces

The UN Secretary-General’s report submitted to the Security Council verifies 31 victims of sexual violence linked to Israeli forces in 2025 — against 14 men, seven women, nine children and one girl — across detention facilities in Gaza and the West Bank, according to Haaretz, which said it had reviewed the report.

Key Details:

🔸“Violations consisted of rape, including with objects, gang rape, attempted rape, physical violence to the genitals, instances of targeted shooting of the genitals, touching of breasts and genitals, strip and cavity searches conducted without apparent security justification, forced nudity and threats of rape,” the report said.

🔸 9 victims, most of them Gaza residents, were subjected to rape and gang rape — in some cases repeatedly. Men and boys were allegedly subjected to rape or attempted rape and violence to the genitals, “resulting in five male victims suffering severe rectal bleeding or swelling for multiple days or weeks and, in some cases, without receiving medical treatment.”

🔸 The report named the IDF, Israeli Prison Service and Border Police Counter Terrorism Unit as responsible. Facilities cited include Sde Teiman, Etzion, and prisons Megiddo, Ofer, Ramla, HaSharon, Shatta, Nafha and Damon.

🔸 The UN said its findings likely reflect only part of a broader pattern, citing Israel’s continued denial of access to detention facilities and explicit threats against detainees to coerce them not to report abuse.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

The UN adds Israel and Russia to a blacklist of countries engaged in sexual violence, after documenting “patterns of sexual violence” by Israelis against Palestinians, citing assaults on 14 men, seven women, nine boys and one girl from Gaza and the West Bank. Israel said it would cut off ties with the UN Secretary General; seems to me it would make more sense to investigate and allow Red Cross visits. https://t.co/9wSkaVsvfx

🇵🇸🇱🇧 Sky News expuso uno de los métodos más brutales utilizados en Líbano: los llamados “triple-tap strikes”.

Consiste en lanzar tres ataques sucesivos al mismo lugar: el primero golpea el objetivo, el segundo a los rescatistas que llegan a ayudar, y el tercero a los equipos de emergencia.

Según el reportaje, esto ha sido usado de forma deliberada contra trabajadores de rescate y paramédicos desarmados.

Esto ocurre mientras Estados Unidos sigue proporcionando apoyo militar y financiero a Israel, lo que genera serias preguntas sobre la responsabilidad de Washington en estos ataques contra personal humanitario.

[Thomas Pogge @ThomasPogge]

A key genocidal strategy is to destroy educational & medical capacities with priority:
blow up a girls' primary school, a volleyball court, universities, hospitals;
do multi-tap strikes to kill rescue & medical workers.
Same procedure: Gaza, Lebanon, Iran.

In Lebanon, too, there is a heavy focus on rescue workers and medical personnel.
