Amb. Huckabee exposes more vicious anti-Israel lies by Tucker Carlson — Israel is NOT harboring a sick child molester from US justice
NASHVILLE — Yesterday, ALL ISRAEL NEWS reported on how over the past few days U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has calmly, clearly, and effectively exposed and refuted one vicious lie after another made by Tucker Carlson against Israel, Jews, Christians, and the United States.
Tucker made dozens of provably false allegations during and immediately after his podcast interview with the ambassador.
We laid out the specifics of three examples yesterday.
Here is another example involving multiple lies and slurs by Tucker.
TUCKER LIES ABOUT ISRAEL SHIELDING A CHILD MOLESTER FROM US JUSTICE
Around 34 1/2 minutes into the conversation, Tucker attempted to smear the Israeli government as routinely harboring sick sexual predators — including child molesters — from the reach of American justice.
Tucker focused his fire on a specific case involving “an Israeli government official who was caught trying to molest a 15 year old girl and fled to Israel and is not going back to the United States to stand charges for the attempted molestation of a child.”
After Huckabee said that he’s not familiar with the specifics of the case — and that such matters would likely be in the jurisdiction of the Justice Department, not his office — Tucker repeatedly pressed Huckabee on why he hasn’t done anything to deport this person back to the U.S.
Huckabee repeated that he did not know anything specific about the case other than what he had seen in the press, but said he would look into the matter.
Tucker then accused the ambassador of not being willing to speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — whose government, Tucker noted, receives large sums of U.S. foreign aid — and say, “How can you take an accused child molester and shield him from American justice?”
Huckabee immediately agreed to advocate for the man to be sent back, but again made it clear that the case had never been brought to his official attention for action to this point and he needed to find out the facts.
WHAT ARE TUCKER’S OBJECTIVES?
Nevertheless, as Tucker continued to press his attack it became clear that he is trying to accomplish two things.
First, Tucker is trying to smear Israel as not caring about children, not caring about morality, not caring about justice, and trying to protect sexual predators who want to escape American justice.
Second, he’s trying to paint Huckabee as an ineffective US ambassador who doesn’t care about American children, doesn’t care about American citizens and as a despised “Christian Zionist” actually cares more about Israel than the United States.
Indeed, these are Tucker themes that permeate much of the interview.
What’s particularly vicious is that Tucker has 17 million followers on X — so, his lies reach a massive number of people.
Huckabee has 1.9 million followers on X — so, his refutation of Tucker’s lies barely reaches 10% of Tucker’s audience.
WHAT ARE THE FACTS OF THIS PARTICULAR CASE?
To his credit, after the interview, Huckabee quickly followed up on the case, as he promised.
On Sunday, he issued a statement and laid out the facts that he was able to gather.
One by one, he exposed and disproved Tucker’s lies and slurs.
“If you watched my ‘interview’ with Tucker Carlson, he was obsessed with a soliciting sex case from Nevada involving an Israeli, as if I was supposed to be well-versed on the details,” Huckabee began.
“If Tucker was really a ‘journalist’ he could have found out what I easily did later. Tucker's question wasn't because he was concerned about a child being solicited for sex. He was playing ‘gotcha.’”
“But considering how easy it was for me to get the facts and how far off Tucker was about them, no reasonable person can believe his motive was the victim.”
Here is the rest of the statement, laid out here in bullet point form to make it easy to follow and understand.
The ambassador accused Tucker of failing to find out the following:
• Israel is not harboring Tom Alexandrovich.
• Alexandrovich did not flee the US judicial system.
• This is a local case being prosecuted by the State of Nevada.
• Alexandrovich was given no special treatment. He was released on bail while his case proceeds through the process.
• It is my understanding Alexandrovich did not violate a court order by returning home to Israel.
• On October 27, 2025, Alexandrovich appeared via Zoom for his initial arraignment. He entered a plea of not guilty.
• All parties involved in the case agreed Alexandrovich can appear via Zoom.
• As of February 21, 2026, the next scheduled court date is April 22, 2026 for a trial readiness hearing.
• A jury trial is currently scheduled for May 18, 2026.
• On August 6, 2025, Tom Alexandrovich was arrested by the Henderson Police Department (Nevada). At the time of his arrest, Alexandrovich was an Israeli government employee working for the Israel National Cyber Directorate.
• He was arrested for suspicions of luring a minor to engage in sexual conduct using technology.
• Alexandrovich was released on bail and returned to Israel. His release was consistent with standard procedures.
• The violation did not rise to the level of a US federal prosecution.
• Alexandrovich was indicted in Nevada state court on October 2, 2025.
• Upon indictment, the State of Nevada requested a summons and advised Alexandrovich was not in custody as he previously posted bond in the amount of $10,000.
• The case is pending in state court in Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas Metro Area).
