The fact that the leaders in question knows damn well which countries they will be arrested in probably have something to do with it. If Netanyahu is told he will be arrested if he comes to NY there's a really good chance that he will not come to NY.

    Are you seeing many people traveling to places where they have known arrest orders on them?

    Are you seeing any national leader ever arrested overseas?

    No, because the point is to tell them they're not welcome. Not being able to go to meetings in the UN in NY would be a big embarrassment for Israel or any other nation.

    So if he doesn't show up, or he does and he's not arrested, and you'll still point at me as wrong somehow. Cuz it doesn't fit your tidy world view.

    I disagree that barring a world leader from entering your jurisdiction is just political word play as you put it. I'm not sorry at all if that does not fit your world view.
