Zohran Mamdani, the Marxist Twelver Shi’ite mayor of New York City who wants to empty out the prisons, defund the police, and replace cops with social workers, has suddenly become a law-and-order guy. While he wants all manner of thugs, felons, and psychopaths menacing the law-abiding citizens of his once-great city, the callow authoritarian does have one man he is determined to put behind bars: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The New York Post reported Saturday that Mamdani “says he’s still weighing whether he can arrest Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli prime minister is scheduled to visit the Big Apple in September.” The mayor, whose hatred for Israel burns with such intensity that he says that he entered politics because of the alleged plight of the Palestinians, wants to arrest the Israeli prime minister for several key reasons.
Foremost among them is the fact that if he does arrest Netanyahu, he will become the foremost hero of the left and the forces of jihad worldwide. His place in the pantheon of renowned leftists will be ensured. Everywhere he goes and whatever else he does throughout his lifetime, adoring sycophants will be ready everywhere to grant him his every wish.
Mamdani’s pretext for attempting to gain this heroic status is the International Criminal Court’s Nov. 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu. He said when it was issued that as mayor, he would have Netanyahu arrested if he came to New York City. Yet Mamdani’s road to supplanting Che Guevara as the communist on all the t-shirts faces several formidable obstacles: neither the U.S. nor Israel recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court, and the arrest warrant itself increasingly appears to have been a cynical ploy on the part of Muslim prosecutor Karim Khan to divert attention from sexual misconduct charges that he himself is facing.
Then there’s the fact that actual experts in urban warfare have examined the IDF’s record and found that it actually succeeded in reducing the number of civilian casualties beyond even what the Americans accomplished in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite Hamas’ relentless efforts to drive up the number of civilian casualties for propaganda purposes.
Mamdani, however, may be a millennial, but he is no slacker. He is not giving up that easily, and “is in an ‘active conversation’ with authorities ahead of Netanyahu’s trip to Manhattan for the UN General Assembly.” Despite the lack of evidence against Netanyahu, Karim Khan’s manifest corruption, and the ICC’s lack of jurisdiction, the boy commie remained defiant, saying: “I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the Hague. He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.”

Who voted for this clown?
That assumes that the elections in NYC aren't rigged.
Mamdani is a criminal at heart wants his friends to terrorize a city
Why wouldn’t Netanyahu simply not visit NY in September, or any other month, if this is going to be his reception?
He has little to gain by getting so close to dangerous fanatics.
I’ll wager the majority of those who voted for Mamdani were born after 9-11-2001.
How does arresting Netanyahu help New Yorkers?
Isn’t a mayor supposed to focus on the city he rules and not world affairs?
How does arresting Netanyahu help New Yorkers?
Normally I’d be opposed to foreign intervention, but in this case i wouldn’t care if the Mossad paid the sand maggot a visit.
Who is going to perform the arrest?
The NYPD has its own legal department that advises the cops on what they can and can’t do legally.
The US Ambassador to the UN has already said that such an arrest would be a violation of US law.
Will the NYPD want to get into a hassle with the Feds and face possible prosecution?
It’s doubtful if the cops would comply with Mamdani’s order - if he gives it.
I personally think he’s full of BS.
B) Nobody loves a police state more than Communists.
BETTER YET-—SHUT DOWN THE UN-—CLOSE DOWN THE BUILDING & REMODEL THE BUILDING INTO APARTMENTS FOR VETERANS.
Not unless he wants to start a war with Israel and our feds, which I would not advise.
Netanyahu should gift him with a nice pager.
I like that idea. There are way too many of our Vets who never quite managed to reconnect with the civilian society, for one reason or another. Some may have been, what I call ‘picky eaters’, meaning yes, decent jobs were available when they were discharged, but not quite good enough to take a chance and take that job.
Sometimes, you have to (temporarily) settle for Option B. or C. just to keep the bills paid and afford yourself an acceptable standard of living. Even moreso for the Vets who are married and/or raising children. Sometimes you settle, just to stay in motion, not turning into a Sphinx, ‘blinded to it’s surroundings, and in the posture of eternal waiting.
When Mamdani crashes and burns it will be a real mess
