Arrest Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Not because he may have lied on his immigration documents. Not because he’s a self-proclaimed communist set on overthrowing the country. Not because he’s an Israel-hating Islamist hellbent on Sharia Law. He should be arrested because he broke federal law.
Repeatedly, Mamdani has threatened, intimidated, and harassed Benjamin Netanyahu. Let’s go to the videotape:
“Mayor Mamdani, will you welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu to NYC … given the U.S. is not signatory to the IC? Would a Mayor Mamdani welcome Benjamin Netanyahu to the city?”
“No, as Mayor, NYC would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. This is a city whose values are inline with international law, it’s time our actions are also.”
“Even though the U.S. is not a signatory to the ICC.”
“No, it’s time that we actually step up and make clear what we are willing to do to showcase the leadership that is sorely missing in the federal administration.”
Free speech is not absolute: there are guardrails when speech threatens, intimidates, and harasses, especially when it’s obviously not hyperbolic rhetoric but rather a cold, calculated, consistent, credible, and unmistakable threat. After watching the video, could there be any doubt as to Mamdani’s intent?
SCOTUS has a high bar for criminalizing speech: it must be speech that not only incites violence but must also produce imminent lawless action. However, do not confuse the Brandenburg v. Ohio standard on ordinary speech with threats. Threats need not incite immediate violence. In Virginia v. Black—the cross burning case—the standard was that a threat need only be a true threat: a serious expression of an intent to commit an unlawful act of violence.
However, true threats are not limited to threatening violence. In Planned Parenthood v. American Coalition of Life...

Mamdani is a lowlife.
But Netanyahu needs leftists and other lowlifes to threaten him. He uses the political strife and controversy for his own political gain. Then he pretends to care about Israel. I believe Netanyahu uses and abuses the good people of Israel.
It’s very similar to the leftist strategy of never letting a crisis go to waste, as verbalized by Obama’s Rahm Immanuel.
You’re a quack.
So you have nothing but ad hominem because you know what I said is true?
The “journalist” should start with the seminal case of Tuberville v Savage and work his way forward.
I love Anglo Saxon case law. Some original case books from the 1650’s are on display at the Boston Atheneum.
So you have no evidence to back up that bullshit opinion you posted?
Agreed.
Of course not. It’s their “feels.”
What you said is true.Nets and unfortunately all his defenders are eager to paint opposition to him and him alone along with the imaginary whole hearted approval of the Israel population as an example of anti semitism primarily...in Mamdani’s case it is...bc he IS antisemitic...Nets is just a secondary target.... Millions are opposed totally to what he has done in Gaza for two solid years....as well as an entire archive of bad deeda Israel as perpetrated for decades SO Mamdani is NOT a stopped clock who’s right twice a day or twice in a lifetime....that’s not the way to read him. Charges of antisemitism as the easy way to deflect reponsibility for anything away from Nets.

Why are you so emotional about it?
I’m only giving my honest opinion.
Your high level of emotion is very unusual for a normal honest discussion. Maybe both of us are not honest.
Why do you think we should think of Netanyahu as an angel who can do no wrong? Doesn’t this approach dishonor him more than any other, because it portrays him as something other than what he truly is?

There’s a whole lot of middle ground between thinking of Bibi as “an angel who can do no wrong” and considering him, as you do, as a villain (your post #2). In my view, he’s far from beyond reproach, but he’s a great PM, especially for these times. And considering he’s the longest serving one in Israel’s history, it appears most Israelis concur.
“Charges of antisemitism are the easy way to deflect responsibility for anything away from Nets, and are “the gift that keeps on giving” and I do mean ANYthing!”
It’s the same thing as calling us racist for questioning Obama’s birth certificate.
I didn’t say villain, you did.
My comment was that I believe Netanyahu is not honest, and that he manipulates political opinion by funding terrorism and war.
Would you like something to show you he does this, or would you prefer I not post it?
According to the Jerusalem Post: “…policies carried out under Netanyahu that the agency flagged as problematic and as contributions to Hamas’s decision to invade were his facilitation of Qatari funding to Hamas and his opposition to proposed assassination operations of top Hamas leaders at the time.”
Netanyahu’s support for Hamas can be seen as a calculated strategy to justify broader territorial ambitions. By secretly funding and enabling the group, he ensured that Hamas would carry out attacks, creating a pretext of “security threats” that could be used to legitimize full-scale military operations and occupation.
“For years, Netanyahu nurtured Hamas, and today, we are all paying the price.”
In effect, by propping up the enemy, Netanyahu manufactured the chaos and violence needed to rally domestic and international support for invading Gaza and consolidating control over Palestinian territories.
Even IDF soldiers report suspicious stand-down orders that cleared the way for Hamas’ invasion. Sgt. Shalom Sheetrit told the Knesset:
“There are no patrols at the fence until nine in the morning…sure enough, exactly an hour later, sirens.”

An authentic Hamas battle plan, obtained over a year prior, was ignored—raising the possibility of a deliberate internal enablement.
