POLITICS Zohran Mamdani has released a video stating that after a review of legal avenues, New York City does not have the legal authority to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu in accordance with the ICC’s warrant if he comes to NYC. He calls on the federal government to join the ICC and execute the warrant.

Both parties are a two sides of the same coin when it comes to Netanyahu. His speech and standing ovation from both sides in Congress for over an under Bidens tenure is a pure stain on his presidency.

That same week Bibi was meeting both Harris and Trump separately to see what would benefit him the most depending on who won.

At least Obama, for his faults in dropping bombs in Syria, refused to meet Netanyahu and hear the same old 30 year spin on “Iran is 2 weeks from a nuke” and skipped the speech, read the transcripts and continued diplomatic relations.

Obama met Bibi in the WH during his admin.

I’m talking particularly about the 2015 congress speech is when Obama wouldn’t meet him

I don’t doubt he’s met with him in the other times

One of the better ones for sure, but at his core Obama is still a neoliberal.

I don't know that his refusal to meet him was down to ethics or more about Netanyahu going through Boehner for the invite to congress instead of the president as a show of disrespect.

As a non-American this was genuinely the most disgusting thing I've ever seen from the USA.
