Full title: Israeli government official arrested in Nevada in internet crimes against children sting

Main point missing from the title - said government official was then released for unspecified reasons and is now in Israel.

There's a system to it with sex offenders escaping justice in Israel:

Have to wonder why he was even allowed to flee the country in the first place. They didn’t gank his passport?

He ain’t coming back now.

If he did something which hurt the government he wouldn't get away.

Do you mean he will not escape this crime (if guilty), or that if it was a crime the government cared more about that he would not have been allowed to return to Israel?

I read it as the latter fwiw.

There's a story of the Saudi embassy in the US (correction: it was the Canada-based embassy of this "great" nation) issuing fake identities to suspects of crime (sexual assault) to allow them to flee. A quick search of "saudi arabian rapist fake passport" gives me a lot of hits that Jeffrey Epstein also had a Saudi Arabian passport... huh.

But since the Israelis are noble and are the only free democracy of that region, I can't imagine they would do something like that... /S

There was no need for fake passports in this case. He was just allowed to return to Israel. It's unclear whether this is because of the individual or whether accused paedophiles are regularly allowed to leave the country.

No, it's not.

There are certainly real dynamics that make popular "conspiracy theories" resonate. The problem is such theories are overly simplistic tripe that play to people's gut feelings. They actually prove way too much, and serve to obscure the real complexity of situations.

So why would you say this guy was released?

Customary international relations between non-adversarial countries, where the elites scratch each others' backs.

I mean that sounds like ZOG to me!

Maybe the motte, but the bailey can go fuck itself.

Our greatest ally.

I get a feel that paedophilia is much more common than you would think.

Missed as not returned by search. As appears to be the case for this posting too. Neither is (currently) flagged.

Interesting... Why wouldn't this post show up in search if it isn't flagged?

Not sure. Interested to find out if my experience is repeatable?

Edit: search as a whole seems to be having issues with more recent items.

Here is a interesting fact, for which there is documented evidence. Before the outrageous deal by Alex Acosta, Jeffrey Epstein traveled to Israel, most probably waiting for the outcome of the Acosta deal.
