So QAnon is right about there being a global ring of pedophiles.

Too bad they’re too dumb to realize that it’s the pedophiles running QAnon.

The fucking gall right?

As usual, it's projection on a fucking interstellar level

[–] plantsmakemehappy@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Is the claim that Western media isn't covering his arrest or the way he was released?

If it's the first then, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/16/nevada-arrest-israeli-official

It does say he's on out on bail and back in Israel though.

Crimes against children sting" instead of Pedophelia

"Back in Israel" instead of fled.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Back in Israel" is Ynet's wording and the article is clear that it is reporting that. The Guardian's own wording is consistently "released and returned to Israel", which seems better than "fled" since it does not imply a lack of culpability of those releasing him

Hell the Ynet headline in your post doesn’t say anything about what Alexandrovich was questioned over

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

"Released and returned" is just a description of what happened, but "fled" implies guilt. It's certainly not a neutral word.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm not saying "fled" is neutral, I'm saying it implies things that do not appear to be true based on what information is available. "Fled" implies that Alexandrovich returned to Israel against the will/efforts of American law enforcement, not that he was literally just let go (as appears to have happened)

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He was released on bail which means that he'd have to return for his court case. I doubt he's coming back.

The reason I couldn't even find the guardian article is because the term 'Israeli arrested pedophelia' returned nothing except the Israeli articles. TheGuardian is deliberately avoiding words and replacing them with vague terms.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that's certainly another way to interpret it - "fled" also makes the US appear to be incompetent, rather than complicit.

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Because pedophilia is a condition, not a crime. They name the actual crime someone is being investigated for.

Cyber security "experts" get caught while doing illegal things on the internet. I guess he won't add it on his CV

print media is always the exception since it's the part of legacy media with a smallest audience (besides radio) to give legacy media the pass it needs to maintain enough legitimacy while helping dispel the reality that it's fully captured.

primetime network tv is the real measure and colbert's late night time slot is already too large of an audience for the ruling class; that's why he is losing his platform.

the fact that this news story is nowhere near primetime network tv at the same time the epstein scandal is in the forefront of our collective attention is a clear sign given that the relevance would undoubtedly pump viewership raitings and lead to greater profit, but they've decided not to pursue that profit in the interest of class solidarity.

[–] WhatThaFudge@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

This is common practice for pedophiles that can claim Israeli citizenship and has been going on for quite some time.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago

Nazis, Child killers, pedophiles imperialistic and genocidal maniacs. This season's villain is too on the nose!

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Just accept the fact that being a conservative means being OK with fucking children.

Republicans, Taliban, Orthodox Jews who like suckling on baby foreskin.

If you are even slightly right wing, you already are predisposed to pedophilia.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Christians oddly absent from that little rant, not that anything you said wasn't true.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do I literaly have directly say Christians when saying Republicans automatically makes that connotation?

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. Other countries exist.

[–] janNatan@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're literally in a community called "USA" commenting on an article about something that happened in Las Vegas involving the USA's Israeli embassy...

But other christians factor in.

And even here, theyre not all in the republican party. Some are in tge ephebophile party, or "independt"ly back fascism.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you even see who the American military allied with in Afghanistan to fight the Taliban? Occupation forces turned a blind eye whereas the Taliban outlawed it.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Taliban only outlawed the Bacha boys because they were boys. They are OK with fucking 8 year old girls.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Republicans or conservatives love these kid fucking pieces of shits. Like a political view that aggregates pieces of shits.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

The story is less about conservatives being pedophiles, and more about the absolute rule Israel has over us, even when there is no national security angle such as covering up Mossad involvement in 9/11. Epstein as a Mossad agent offering supermodel orgy invitations, requires hushing up any accumulated dirt, because releasing the dirt "for free" means that Israel loses blackmail power over pressuring affected individuals.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Reminds me of some questions about whether Epstein was involved with the state of Israel. We now know that Israel was blackmailing Bill Clinton.

I’m assuming he had diplomatic immunity and is just going back to Israel?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Almost certainly not. It doesn't sound like he was here on a diplomatic mission, so it wouldn't apply.

Edit: Yes, he is just going back to Israel though. Thought I'd clear that up. Out on bail, probably never to return for his case. He doesn't have diplomatic immunity. He was just let go with no punishment or reason.

It said in the picture he was sent back. No justice for these fuckwads.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

he didn't have immunity

diplomatic immunity

I can never read this phrase without saying "has just been REVOKED!" in my head.

WHY would the US Arrest PEDOPHILES when the President and his Supporters LOVE Jeffrey Epstein?

[–] Baked86@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

The depraved jizzrali zionazis love raping children

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Trump soft on fellow pedos

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Why do you release him?

He looks presidential.

[–] AlHouthi4President@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

You live in a very normal perfectly regular normal society 💀

What happens in Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Know your masters and obey them for they can do no wrong.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Pretty standard for intelligence people to be attached to the diplomatic corps and have diplomatic immunity.
