Arrest New York Mayor Mamdani If He Arrests Netanyahu?

Arrest New York Mayor Mamdani If He Arrests Netanyahu? 

The American Spectator   

"And the fact that he shows no awareness of his call to arrest the prime minister and the consequences that can flow from that says everything about the mayor’s distinct lack of leadership ability."


"The headline in The Times of Israel summed it up. It read: “Mamdani: Netanyahu should be arrested if he visits NYC; I’m discussing it but won’t rewrite laws,” with the subtitle, “New York mayor says he’s having ‘an active conversation’ with city’s legal department to see what steps he could take should the PM attend UN General Assembly in September.”

"Well now. One might answer the mayor of New York who is saying this by suggesting he just might want to be careful if, in fact, he tried to do this.

"To start, a look back at the wisdom of President Harry Truman (a Democrat!) about the creation of the United Nations might be in order. Truman, of course, was president following the death of Franklin Roosevelt at the end of World War II. The war had been the worst in world history. And there was overwhelming sentiment around the globe to ensure a world war never happened again.

"Said Truman, to the group of those representing the signers of the U.N. Charter at the signing ceremony creating the U.N.: “The Charter of the United Nations, which you have just signed is a solid structure upon which we can build a better world. History will honor you for it.

"One can suspect that if Mayor Mamdani tries to arrest the prime minister of Israel when he visits New York for a speech at the United Nations, history will not be honoring the mayor.

"It is also safe to say any attempt to arrest the mayor for an attempt to arrest the Israeli prime minister would ignite a firestorm. Doubtless the mayor would have some angry supporters on his side. That they would be antisemitic and anti-Israel would not be in much doubt. (RELATED: Mamdani Peddles the Myths Fueling Democrats’ Antisemitism)

"But it is safe to say that there would also be a lot of nodding heads around New York and the rest of the country who would believe that if there was a move to arrest the mayor himself for his attempt to arrest the prime minister, he would just be getting equal treatment for his utter fascist-style attempt to arrest not just a head of state paying a professional visit to the United Nations but for attempting to arrest the prime minister of the world’s lone Jewish nation." . . .

Terror-Sympathizing ‘Journalist’ Caught Cozying Up With Mamdani As Mayor Plots to Arrest Bibi   

"When he's not palling around with like-minded, terror-adjacent extremists "journalists", Mamdani is busy fantasizing incessantly about his completely fictional authority to arrest Netanyahu."
