Israel drops charges against soldiers accused of prisoner abuse

The Israeli military said it is dropping charges against five soldiers accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee in an encounter partially caught on camera. The decision on Thursday comes as much of the country’s attention is focused on the war with Iran. The leaked video of the abuse was aired last year by Israel’s Channel 12 and purported to show an assault in which the soldiers sodomized the Palestinian detainee from Gaza with a knife. The arrest of the soldiers in 2024 prompted anger from hard-line ultranationalists, while members of Israel’s far-right government called the investigation into the allegations an affront to their service.

The Bottom Line: As long as the political class and global tycoons continue to resolve their "sins" with multi-million dollar out-of-court settlements, justice hasn't evolved; it has simply become more expensive.

3. The Evolution: From Media Scandals to Legal Paralysis
Justice has shifted from being ruthless with figures like Strauss-Kahn (where social condemnation was instant and lethal) to a phase of infinite attrition.Today, we see years of document declassification, inquiry committees, and legal battles seemingly designed to exhaust the public before a real sentence is ever handed down.

The Clintons: They remain under the spotlight. Recently, a legislative committee approved opening an investigation against them to clarify exactly what they knew.

2. The Billionaires Club in the US: Bill Gates and the Clintons
In the United States, the system seems to be waking up, but at a frustratingly slow pace:
Bill Gates: As of today, March 4, 2026, the US Congress has officially requested his testimony to explain his ties to Epstein following the leak of new DOJ documents.

The current reality: Although Andrew was recently questioned after being detained on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to Epstein, he remains 8th in line to the throne. The world wonders: Will he ever face a real trial, or was the £12 million settlement with Virginia Giuffre the final word?

1. The Prince Andrew Case (UK/EU): Honors or Justice?
It’s true that King Charles III has been firmer than his mother, stripping his brother of military titles, his Palace office, and even his $1.3 million annual allowance. But for many, this isn't justice

Justice for some, "settlements" for others: The great theater of impunity 🎭⚖️

How is it possible that Dominique Strauss-Kahn had his career (and almost his freedom) destroyed over a hotel incident, while other names on the Epstein list seem untouchable? The evolution of justice over the last decades in the US and the EU leaves a bitter taste: the feeling that if you are powerful enough, punishment is merely symbolic.

The vehicle that #Musk frequently turned to is one that many of the ultrarich use: limited liability companies [#LLC], which are designed to shield owners from #legal & #financial risks, as well as public scrutiny. Whatever Musk’s intent, the effect of using these companies has been to disguise how he is spending his #money.

The Times’s examination also offers a window into how #Musk used private #companies to support #Trump during the 2024 #election. Tapping these companies to cover the expenses of a #superPAC is “highly unusual”, #CampaignFinance experts said, & ended up obscuring how #money was being spent because they are not subject to the disclosure requirements of super PACs.
