The Arrest They Said Never Happened
Three days ago, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich — one of Netanyahu’s top cyberwarfare officials — was arrested in Las Vegas during a two-week child predator sting run by the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada police. He was booked into the Henderson Detention Center and charged with luring a child with a computer for a sex act, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison.
Yesterday good ‘ol Tom was already back in Israel.
The Bombshell From Las Vegas Officers
I have now confirmed with officers involved in the sting that the Trump administration personally intervened, at Israel’s request, to override U.S. law enforcement, including their own federal agents involved in the sting, to make sure that Alexandrovich got back to Israel quickly and safely.
The officers told me they couldn’t believe it. They had worked for weeks with the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to run this sting. They caught Alexandrovich red-handed. They booked him, charged him, and logged him into Henderson County’s system like every other suspect.
And then — despite the Trump administration itself authorizing the sting — Trump’s own team stepped in and blew up their work. They expedited his release and return to Israel. A predator was caught. And then, to protect Netanyahu, he was freed.
The officers also confirmed for me that Alexandrovich DID NOT have a diplomatic visa or any kind of diplomatic immunity.
Israel’s Lies, Exposed
Israel’s official story is crumbling under the weight of the facts.
Netanyahu’s office and Ynet: claimed Alexandrovich was never arrested at all, only “briefly questioned” before returning to his hotel and flying home. This is a complete fabrication. I directly confirmed with police that he was arrested and charged. The following three outlets, including two in Israel, confirmed the same thing.
The Guardian : reported Alexandrovich “faces felony charges of luring a child with a computer for a sex act” and confirmed “all eight suspects were brought to jail after their arrests.”
Jerusalem Post: confirmed he was among the eight men arrested and charged, writing: “eight people were arrested, including Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38… all detainees are charged with attempting to entice minors online to commit sexual acts.”
Times of Israel: went further, reporting he was “booked at the Henderson Detention Center” and that indictments were expected.
The record is clear. Alexandrovich was arrested, jailed, and charged with a felony. Israel lied. But don’t they always?
The Henderson County Confirmation
Officials in Henderson confirmed to me directly: Alexandrovich was formally arrested, charged, and still has pending felony charges on the books. This is not speculation. This is not rumor. This is fact.
And yet Israel has paraded him back to Tel Aviv as if nothing happened.
A Senior National Security Insider
This isn’t just another criminal case. Alexandrovich is not a nameless suspect. He was the Acting Head of Data & AI for Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, the architect of the multi-million-dollar “Cyber Dome” program, a man who had access to Israel’s deepest cyber secrets and international intelligence partnerships.
He wasn’t a low-level staffer. He was one of Netanyahu’s most trusted cyber defense officials — caught trying to solicit children for sex in the United States.
Two Sets of Rules
If this had been an ordinary American man caught in the sting, his life would be over. He’d be behind bars awaiting trial. His name would be permanently registered on sex offender lists. His face would be on the evening news.
And what we know is that if you are a BROWN OR BLACK immigrant in this country, and haven’t committed a single crime, but your visa expires, the Trump administration themselves will arrest you, charge you, and jail you in the most inhumane way possible, and may even deport you to a country you’ve never been to before.
Now imagine if this man was not an Israeli, but Arab or African, they might’ve killed this man on sight, and they’d certainly make an example out of him. You know it and I know it.
But because he was an Israeli government official, he was given a free pass. Because he reported to Netanyahu, he was flown home untouched. Because Trump wanted to please Israel, the case was sabotaged.
Why This Matters
This is bigger than one man. It is about justice, power, and accountability. A foreign official came to the United States, was caught in a sting operation targeting child predators, was formally charged, and then was whisked out of the country by political intervention.
That is not justice. That is not rule of law. That is the powerful protecting the powerful — across borders, across governments — at the expense of children, victims, and truth.
Love and appreciate each of you.

Also, this makes my stomach churn. Anyone still "standing with Israel" at this point is standing against a moral and ethical society.
Of course, they helped the pedophile. That's, apparently, what they do. Because they are...
