Mamdani begrudgingly recognizes he has no legal authority to arrest Netanyahu while visiting NYC

NYC's first Muslim mayor may have admitted he cannot arrest Netanyahu on trumped up accusations issues by the ICC, but Mamdani still sticks by his anti-Israeli positions in the worst ways:

Leading Jewish groups castigate New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for inflammatory claims he made yesterday in a video announcing that he could not arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Before stating that the city could not make the arrest, Mamdani said Israel was targeting “neonatal care centers,” starving “countless people,” “gunning down hundreds of aid workers and journalists,” and that Americans were paying “for the bombs that do the killing.”

The claims are largely exaggerated or based on scanty or questionable evidence.

The UJA-Federation of New York, the leading Jewish group in the city, says, “New Yorkers elected a mayor to lead this city — not to make Israel the centerpiece of your political grandstanding.”

“Your video is rife with distortions and disinformation. At a time of rising antisemitism, repeatedly singling out and vilifying the world’s only Jewish state for perceived political benefit is repugnant, puts Jews at greater risk — and leaves many Jewish New Yorkers feeling targeted and unwelcome in the city we call home,” the federation says in a statement. “Shame on you.”

It's really no shock, of course, that Mamdani would do this. He should not be welcome at the upcoming 911 Memorial service either, because it's pretty obvious he also doesn't respect any of the victims and survivors there. A most repellent man indeed.
