To be fair half of Americans think the other half of Americans should be arrested.

    No, it's not that bad.

    Half of the other half have no opinion. And the other half of the other half don't have rational thinking skills.

    Not sure why it's relevant, but I'm the first half. He's a war criminal, and the US has an obligation under international law and morally to extradite him to The Hague to stand trial for Genocide

  • The article states that only 24 percent think he SHOULD NOT be arrested, which the title does not imply.

    Even less percent believe Israel did NOT commit war crimes.

    Of course this does not mirror the public sentiments of most of Americas elected officials.

    Netanyahu literally showed up in congress and then berated the US government for not shoving more money into his genocide.

    If that isn't a sign of a compromised government, I don't know what is lol.

    Imagine if Xi Jinping suddenly pulled up to the senate as if he has any position in the US government.

    Agreed, the US justice system was made to control the rabble. Its not at all functional when it comes to holding the powerful accountable. Arresting Netenyahu is pointless-- it will just lead to his immediate release.

    At least half don't even know who that is, and the half of who do aren't informed enough to chime in.

    I think most people are confused about who Netanyahu is, I keep seeing him incorrectly described as the president of Israel when he's actually the prime minister of Israel. The president of Israel is Isaac Herzog

    Enlighten me, what's the Prime minister do then? Is that like a Catholic role (being minister?)? We don't have that in the US, but I know Canada and parts of Europe have them. I guess I've just never really paid attention to the role.

    In Westminster parliamentary systems, the government has a cabinet of ministers responsible for different policy areas, similar to the US presidential cabinet. The leader of the cabinet ministers is the prime minister, the head of government. The closest US analogy would probably be a cross between speaker of the house and house majority leader (the role of the speaker of the house in Westminster parliaments is somewhat different - in Australia the Speaker is a member of the House of Representatives elected by the House, and is responsible for the operation of the house, but does not get to decide what legislation gets put to a vote. That's up to the governing party). The prime minister is supposed to be "first among equals", but in reality the PM is the leader of the party and is hence the boss. The PM also de-facto exercises executive power, since the Governor-General who legally holds executive power only acts on the advice of the prime minister.

    What about the top half? That's the only half that America seems to give a shit about.

    He should be arrested, yes, but not by America. They're in cahoots with him.

    I bet there's a huge slice of that pie that have no opinion. So the ones that think he should not be arrested are probably very, very few.

    Edit: it's 27%. Actually much higher than I expected. But that's roughly the same as the population of Trump supporters at its peak, so I guess it makes sense.

    Maybe after that we could politely ask him to stop convincing our stupid president to further embroil us in Middle East conflict.

    Why don't you start with arresting war criminals and pedophiles in your own nation first?

    Hopefully someone is practicing at the range.

    Be a shame. Sure would be a shame...
