Cool. Now let's also say what we're all thinking: Trump should be in there with him. Preferably in the same cell so that it's awkward af.

How much do you want to bet a Mossad agent has had him in his sights before?
I’m shocked everyday that there ain’t an assassination attempt on him. My politics are more extreme than his but his platform is violently opposed to the status quo and its overlords
Because that would be instant martyrdom and would further the movement. I guarantee Isreal, republicans and democrats are all looking at him like a hawk waiting for him to slip up. They can't just kill him, he needs to be tarred and feathered and his beliefs discredited.
We're just lucky he's such a baller you can't catch him slipping.
Most assassination attempts are by nutjobs, not some intricate conspiracy. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, but not always.
Two years ago, I would have said he is Pali-pilled beyond reach.
Now I think he is simply stating a fact.
Sadly this isn’t some new development after Oct 7, the Nakba was in 1948 and the details we now know of Israeli atrocities from that event are truly horrifying. The Israelis have been brutally terrorizing their neighbors for over 75 years, Bibi is just a natural extension of that campaign of terror. Israel is the most egregious terrorist organization in the world, bar none.
That's a wild telling of what happened in 1948.
After the Brits left Mandatory Palestine it was basically an existential war for Israel. Israel declares independence and immediately gets invaded by Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan and Syria, supported by the Arab Liberation Army and corps of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Yemen.
After the war Israel extended it's borders. Some say for security, some say as territorial conquest for more Jews to settle.
This is very much not as one-sided as you make it out to be.
The Nakba was, to my understanding, seperate from war and happened in order to clear space and displace Palestinian settlement so that there was effectively room for the Jewish population to now live there, and is a pretty well documented historical example of ethnic cleansing. It was what happened in order to establish the state of israel, and was initially carried out by Zionists and then by the IDF once the IDF was created, if I'm remembering correctly
I think the terms get mixed up sometimes. Israel calls it the war of independence. The displacement was part of "Plan Dalet". Nakba sometimes refers to the displacement and massacres specifically and sometimes to the whole war.
Don't get me wrong, war crimes were committed (if that was a thing back in '48 not sure). I just don't like the characterization that Israel is a terrorist state that terrorizes all its neighbors. This was not one-sided at all.
war crimes were committed (if that was a thing back in '48 not sure)
Lol are you serious? Ever heard of WWII or the Nuremberg trials?
I mean the city bombings were war crimes after today's standards. Idk when the Rome statute or Geneva convention were created. Was driving out all the Germans from now Poland a war crime? The death toll was around 400,000 for that.
I'm not a historian idk if that's just what people did back in the day. Today that would be a war crime.
Indeed, there is a specific definition of genocide and afaict Hamas has met the definition for 20+ years; Isreal hadn't sunk to the full definition until Bibi finished eviscerating the courts and shoveling fundamentalist BS into the Knesset just a few years ago
It was a war against Israeli ethnic cleansing, which they started even before their declaration of independance.
I'm not going to argue anything you said cause it's factual, it wasn't one-sided. It is now. Israel has total victory over the Palestinians. A Palestinian state will never exist now, and Israel is still killing them. It's not a war anymore, It's a genocide.
No he doesn't, he belongs 6 feet under.
I don't know what I'd prefer, him rotting 6ft under or rotting behind bars. Knowing the global prison system and the privileges given to rich/well connected people I'd probably want the former tho
Oh I can think of a much better place for Netanyahu to be...
We can't let mayors do that kind of shit though. You know how many yee-heil podunk mayors out there would start arresting every unauthorized tan?
He's the mayor for more people than several US governors are governors for
Wyoming still hasn't hit one million
Also, those good ol' boy, wannabe Boss Hogg mayors would do that anyway
I'd say he's free to express his opinion as he isn't in charge of arresting him against the will of the admin. The MAGAs do this all the time or I did I get something wrong?
To say someone isn't welcome in your city is within the range of things a major should be allowed to do imho.
Article is authwalled. Can someone post its full contents in the comments?
A war criminal who committed horrific crimes against humanity including genocide belongs behind bars? Really? Wow! Thank you captain obvious. We all know that. But we also know it's not going to happen. Your entire country is run by criminals who are desperately trying to cover up raping children on a regular basis, by doing more illegal acts, also to enrich themselves, at the cost of others. There's a whole list of leaders and their regimes that actually belong behind bars after a fair trial, including Netanyahu, Trump and Putin, to name the biggest ones.
Start to recognize the ICC, arrest war criminals and put them on trial.
Saying war criminals actually should belong behind bars doesn't put them there. Giving them weapons and funding neither.
Didn’t this guy promise he’d arrest him? More sloppulist fallacies?
Point to were he made that promise... I'll wait. He basically said he would if he could and then confirmed what everyone already knew. That he doesn't have the authority to do so.
Yes. This is his further affirmation of that promise. However he can only do it now if Netanyahu comes to New York (which he probably won’t do)
Won't happen until Trump and his cronies are in jail. And that seems increasingly unlikely.
He does. Israel is lobbying hard in the ICC and is on track to remove those who issues the arrest warrant. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-icc-bureau-moves-scrap-misconduct-vote-and-lower-threshold-khans-removal
The arrest warrant could eventually be invalidated.
nope. he belongs in the dirt. no matter where you put him in a living state, he will get out for bullshit reasons
