NYC’s Mamdani calls Netanyahu a ‘war criminal,’ exploring arrest options: report

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is discussing whether it can arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he comes to the U.S. in September for the U.N. General Assembly in Manhattan, according to The New York Times.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the Hague,” Mamdani told the newspaper this week, naming the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mamdani reportedly added, noting, “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”

The New York Times reported that Mamdani said he is unclear as to whether he has the legal authority to order police to detain Mamdani, but that he’s in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the idea.

“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” Mamdani also told The New York Times.

What the hell is the Mayor of New York city doing worrying about international leaders?

NYC has a LOT of its own problems that need addressing NOW ... why doesn't this clown focus on things like that ... y'know, his actual job?!

The fact that socialism and the hatred for Israel and the Jewish people has taken hold in places like NYC and Minneapolis sickens me.

The attack on Israel  on Oct. 7, 23, has been overlooked and in fact cheered on by the Pro Palis in this country and even by some in Congress.

The arrest of Bibi would certainly spark an uprising in this country and I believe that's exactly what the socialist leaders like Madami and Omar want.

In his eyes, promoting socialism and  Antisemitism  is first and foremost.

Wonder if there is some way we can arrest the mayor if he authorizes it.  False imprisonment, coup, whaterver....   Jail this POS.

That is why he and all his fellow "democratic socialists" seek office. It's disgusting.

Bottom line. Mandammit's "socialism" was just a stalking horse for his Islamism.

He has no business making foreign policy.
