Israel serves as safe havens for pedophiles, criminals, and terrorists who fled justice in the US

Israel serves as a safe haven for pedophiles and terrorists who fled justice in the US and elsewhere around the world. Here are some of the cases:
 
* An Israeli pedophile busted in Los Vegas, Nevada
 
On Wednesday August 13, 2025, Las Vegas police were working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and announced the arrest of eight men in a two-week child predator sting operation. One of those men was Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, and IDF veteran and the Head of AI for the Israeli government, who works directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Source: Report by Ali Harb in Al Jazeera on August 19, 2025.
 
The court records reviewed by Reuters show a $10,000 bond was posted in Alexandrovich's case at the Henderson Detention Center, which is southeast of Las Vegas, on August 7. Reuters could not immediately confirm Alexandrovich's whereabouts and could not immediately locate contact information for him.

The War on Truth: Why Are Palestinian Journalists Being Systematically Erased?

The killing of seven Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza on August 10 has prompted verbal condemnations, yet has inspired little to no substantive action. This has become the predictable and horrifying trajectory of the international community's response to the ongoing Israeli genocide.

 By eliminating Palestinian journalists like Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqeh, Israel has made a sinister statement that the genocide will spare no one. According to the monitoring website Shireen.ps, Israel has killed nearly 270 journalists since October 2023.

Homeowners rush to install solar

 Homeowners are rushing to install solar before the December 31st expiration of the 30 percent tax credit. 

The surge in consumer activity follows the passage of HR1 on July 4th of this year, and its elimination of the residential Investment Tax Credit (ITC) at the end of 2025. Homeowners have through December 31st, to have their systems installed to claim the 30 percent federal tax credit, which represents an average of $9,000 in savings on typical installations, according to EnergySage Intel data.

Overall, EnergySage saw a 59 percent month-over-month increase in registrations from potential customers from June to July and a 205 percent year-over-year increase in homeowners actively working with installers.

Solar installers are being dramatically impacted by the urgency to go solar. A recent survey conducted by EnergySage found that 35 percent of solar installers expect to stop taking new customers before October 1st, and around 9 percent indicated they have already reached capacity for 2025.
