Netenyahu might not be able to be detained as a head of state, but his consular staff can probably be arrested and detained for questioning. The Us did sign the geneva conventions and are legally bound to act on those. Even just cuffing them and marching them to a car would be great to see. And either way, Mamdani and his state police should be shadowing the war criminals everywhere he goes so that if any new yokrer is threatened or abused, he can step in and literally kick some ass.
Israeli diplomats have a history of roughing up protestors whose messages they dont like. Any of that should be met with immediate overwhelming force by the state of New York to protect the citizens of new york in their right to peaceful protest in the US. No halfassed apologies later, we need interverntion as it happens. If some diplomats get roughed up, well-- we can send an apology for that later. Israel just detained and pointed guns at Ro Khanna the other day. they deserve the same treatment. Guns aimed at their heads.

Best not to make such decision public. See whether Netanyahu is willing to gamble.

Oh, come on! Don't say it out loud! Just prepare quietly. Subrepciously redirect him to a Jet charted to go straight to the Hague. And I don't mean the nearest airport. I mean landing right by the freaking door of the International Court.

That would, unfortunately, be a big stretch.

In a city of billionaires, Mamdani is not owned, which is why they're all so scared of him: the powers that be can't control him, and they can't even predict him.

Which is exactly what makes this so based. Mamdani IS the mayor of NYC. He could make Bibi's arrival in his city a little slice of hell in all manner of ways, many of which would break no law at all, and many New Yorkers would be thrilled to do their part.

But will he? No one knows. And that's the beauty of it. We all know he's thinking about it now.

So whether this pans out in reality or not, it's always good policy to make a motherfucker watch his own back. Mamdani just turned Bibi into a motherfucker with a back that needs watching in NYC.

For fuck's sake, don't talk about it. Don't posture, don't chest-beat, and don't blather about it in public. Don't give the fucker any warning. Just do it when he shows up.

I appreciate when my leaders use their power to arrest war-criminals. It makes the world a safer place

fucking BASED. This guy is amazing.

Americas Mayor.

Would be a shame if a "malfunctioning" "AI" air traffic controller directed his plane into a tanker truck "mistakenly" left on the runway.

Just roll up on him like the US marshals did yesterday to the Tate brothers.

Yeah why does USA not want international law? The U.S. has never ratified the ICC because why would they give up the freedom to do what they want… USA does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. The 2002 American Service-Members’ Protection Act (ASPA) literally states that the U.S. will attempt to protect U.S. military personnel and other citizens from ICC persecution, even with military action if necessary. That bill was nicknamed “The Hague Invasion Act” because in theory it authorizes the president to use force to free Americans from ICC prison. They even go as far as using big tech to blackmail members of the ICC that investigate war crimes of the US military (or Israel). crazy.

Neither USA nor Israel is among the 125 signatories of the Rome Statute, which established the ICC in 1998. However, the treaty sets out that nationals of non-member states can be tried for crimes that take place on the territory of states that are signatories. But if mamdami arrests netanyahu and delivers him to The Hague that would be a dream for everyone who wants global peace and justice, probably followed by sanctions from crybaby trump tho lmao

i'd love to see him pull that one off!

It may be he's just bluffing to keep Netenyahu out of the city.

It's not a good look for Mamdani to let him in the city while doing nothing about it (or even being forced to provide security for him), but actually arresting him might cause a small civil war.

As much as I'd like to see it, it's just posturing. Congress has explicitly stated that state and local LEOs cannot recognize or enforce ICC warrants.
