Netanyahu taunts Zohran Mamdani, saying he’ll ‘come to New York’ after mayor-elect vowed to arrest Israel PM
The New York Post ^ | 12/04/2025 | Anthony Blair

Benjamin Netanyahu taunted Zohran Mamdani this week, saying he would return to New York, defying the socialist mayor-elect’s pledge to have him arrested on charges of war crimes.

“I’ll come to New York,” Netanyahu told the Dealbook Summit at Lincoln Center on Wednesday via video from Israel. “Yes, of course I will.”

Mamdani vowed during the election campaign to impose an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister in connection with the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu also told the forum he wouldn’t meet with the Democratic mayor unless he accepted Israel’s right to exist.

“If [Mamdani] changes his mind and says that we have the right to exist, that’ll be a good opening for a conversation,” Netanyahu said in response to a question about whether he would ask to speak with the mayor-elect

Madmoney has no right or authority to arrest anyone on an International Criminal Court warrant, especially in the US.

Maybe Netanyahu has a new operation for Mossad. Will Mamdani need to get food tasters and live in a bunker, never to see daylight again?

He might as well come. The left doesn’t follow the rules. The mayor needs to be called out on this stuff and not with words. Put all those involved on the spot. The police will not follow an unlawful order. This is the way to put stop to this crap.

Remember Kadafy saying his territory stretched too far out in the Mediterranean? Reagan responded. Put yourself in the position of those Libyan pilots ordered to challenge us and in essence commit suicide. I do believed they survived getting shot down.

Mamdani: No leaders of Jews allowed. Can’t you read the sign?

Signs.
Five Man Electrical Band hit song in 1970.

And the sign said
“Everybody welcome
Come in, kneel down and pray”

But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn’t have a penny to pay

So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign

I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ‘bout me
I’m alive and doin’ fine”
Woo!

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind

Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?
///////////////////////////
I think of that song once in a while as when Congress or the state legislature figures out something they forgot to prohibit by signs.

Freedoms are reduced every year as they pass more and more laws.

Latest ones I noticed are along the railroad tracks next to the park I like to walk in. You can’t trespass on the grassy right of way area next to the tracks. Guess they’re afraid I’m the reincarnation of Jack Kerouac.

I envision Mamdani showing up at a Netanyahu event and angrily jumping up and down and screaming “Arrest him” at the police as the officers just stand there stone faced without saying or doing anything.

Mamdami needs a new cell phone, like the ones used by Mossad on the Hezbollah leadership.

In other words, refusing to carry out illegal orders.🤔[ joking]

Given what we are told about Tyre ... I found it very curious that even the Russian Soviet Bear would be using that term for the city of New York, long, long, after the end of Amsterdam... Some things that literally cannot be ignored... Amazing that a man named Trump would prosper in that city of Tyre...

What if they feed Mamdani LSD and he starts spouting off about crazy Marxist Leninist plans for confiscating the means of production and private property and giving free groceries to people?

So, no one would ever notice.

Isn’t ignoring a diplomatic passport some kind of crime? For a local politician, it should be.

But wouldn’t the Mayor of New York City need a warrant to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister? Which court would the mayor go to have one issued? The mayor is not a law-enforcement agent so he doesn’t have authority to arrest anybody or charge anybody with a crime. Using liberal logic is a real BITC$ Mayor…..

<< alongside Moshe Dayan. >>

Dayan surrendered control of the Temple Mount the Islamic Waqf after the ‘67 war, one of the worst decisions ever. Naively thought it would buy Israel good will. Plus the secular Dayan didn’t like religious Jews.

When I hit post, I said “damn, I forgot Golda Meir” Ben-Gurion is another great lsraeli.

Bibi was a member of Sayeret Matkal, the Israelis top commando unit. Mamdani couldn’t bench 125lbs. I know how this ends.
