What is global news?

Post guidelines

URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

they are, and he didnt flee. 'fleeing' suggests he evaded capture and made his own way to israel. actually he was allowed to leave after his lawful arrest without explanation and in direct contradiction to state and federal law.

edit: he was arrested and charged. official statement from bibi's office included this memorable line:

The employee, who does not hold a diplomatic visa, was not arrested and returned to Israel as scheduled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiding_and_abetting:

...In all cases of aiding and abetting, it must be shown a crime has been committed, but not necessarily who committed it. It is necessary to show that the defendant has willfully associated himself with the crime being committed, that he does ... as he would do if he wished for a criminal venture to succeed. Under this statute, anyone who aids or abets a crime may be charged directly with the crime, as if the charged had carried out the act himself.

someone let this guy out of jail after he was arrested, knowing he was a flight risk. someone had to out of their way- much more probably, several people had to go significantly out of their way to make that happen. People don't just fall out of jail. or maybe they do, sometimes, but hey totally unrelated question: who the fuck put convicted serial child sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell in a minimum security prison (for which she, as a sex offender, was not eligible) while providing her with work-release authorization so that she can leave during the day? Incidentally, did you know that Jeffrey Epstein was allowed work release as a part of his sweetheart deal, and used that opportunity to continue raping children?

They couldn't lock him up, it would have been antisemitic.

Trump's intervened directly to get him released. You know gotta protect fellow Pedos.
