Israel: Hospital report casts doubt on claim that Israelis raped detained ‘Palestinian’ jihadi
Excerpt:
A report from Hadassah Hospital suggests that a Palestinian terror detainee whom critics claimed was raped by Israeli reservists at Sde Teiman prison may instead have hidden an object inside his rectum, thereby causing injury.
The hospital evaluation, reported by Israel’s Channel 14, casts doubt on the sensational claim — which has gone viral in the Arab world — that Israeli reservists sodomized a Palestinian terror detainee who had been arrested in Gaza.
The controversy has raged for weeks. After a prisoner was found to have an injury to his buttocks, the Israeli military began an investigation. But when officers arrived at Sde Teiman to arrest and question the reservists who supposedly were responsible for the prisoner, right-wing protesters had invaded the prison, overwhelming the guards, to protect the reservists. The resulting standoff shocked Israelis, as it implied a collapse of law and order at the prison facility….
Supporters of the reservists contend that the Palestinian prisoner was injured after trying to smuggle a cellphone into the prison inside his rectum. The Hadassah Hospital report lends weight to that theory. It found that there was no injury to the prisoner’s anus, as would have been consistent with forced insertion of an object, but just internal injury….

Cuban dictatorship denies sending Chinese engineers to rig voting machines in Venezuela
Translated excerpt with translator’s comments:
The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex) denied claims that Chinese experts from Cuba traveled to Venezuela to tamper with the results of the July 28 presidential elections, which officially declared Nicolás Maduro the winner.
Minrex stated that it was “absolutely false” that specialists in information technology or other fields had traveled from Cuba to Venezuela with the intention of altering the election results. This response came after Francisco Santos, former Vice President of Colombia, accused a group of Chinese engineers of traveling from Cuba to Caracas on July 30 aboard a Conviasa flight to supervise over 100 employees of the Venezuelan National Electoral Council (CNE). Santos alleged that these employees were involved in falsifying voting records.
Cuba did not specify the nationality of the experts and only mentioned “specialists in information sciences or other areas.” The Cuban government labeled the accusation as “unfounded and fabricated,” stating that no evidence had been provided to support it.
The Cuban Ministry discredited Santos, pointing out his involvement in various political scandals and highlighting a previous false claim he made about the presence of a Colombian guerrilla leader in Cuba. The ministry also criticized the spread of what it called a “matrix of lies” that implicates Cuba in influencing the election results in Venezuela.
Cuba, a strong ally of the Venezuelan government, maintains close ties with Venezuela through the exchange of advisors, professionals, and military and intelligence personnel.
Castro, Inc. has denied an accusation by former Colombian Vice President Francisco Santos, who claimed that a group of Chinese engineers, manufacturers of voting machines, had traveled to Caracas from Cuba to falsify election records. Yeah, sure. We all know that Castro, Inc. always tells the truth.
