Mamdani’s Demagoguery Will Have Ugly Consequences. When he got serious pushback, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani retreated from his empty threat to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin
Jewish leaders in NYC blame Mamdani rhetoric as hate crime probe continues following stabbing. Federation of New York and Rabbi Yosie Levine of The Jewish Center speak about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric,
Trump and Netanyahu should go for a stroll in front of the NYC city hall to taunt Mamdani. Right out in front of where the guy works, right after he said what he said. When he doesn't do anything but complain, the people will see that Mamcommie has no real power. When they see he can't get that done, they'll probably never believe anything he says again.
Zohran Mamdani is the best mayor ever, working to make NYC great again!
All that Mamdani is concerned about is fulfilling his Agenda no matter how it impacts NYC.
All the more credit to Mayor Mamdani, who is finally forcing the out of town billionaires who use luxury apartments as a tax dodge to pay their fair share, who has ensured rents will not continue to shoot up, who has brought the crime level in New York to record lows, among other accomplishments.
Mamdani not only gloats about ‘taxing the rich,’ he lies as well. There Mayor Zohran Mamdani goes again, exulting in stomping on those “rich” New Yorkers who don’t “pay their fair share.”
So proud to call Zohran my mayor. Thoughtful. Fearless. Incredibly articulate. In a political system where so many are afraid to challenge powerful interests, he refuses to compromise his principles. Calling out genocide and demanding accountability shouldn’t be controversial—it should be the bare minimum. This is the kind of leadership our city deserves!
Mamdani has the right to describe Netanyahu in any hue as he deems fit but he has no right to threaten arrest because isn't within his jurisdiction
I think Mamdani could be arrested for threatening a foreign head of state. Nevertheless it goes to show the mental state of an Islamic/communist.
People Love the Courage of Mamdani to speak and act on TRUTH. He isnt anti-Jew, he's awake, alive and willing to stand up against Intl War Criminals. 🙏 ThankGod🩵
He wants to he the architect for everything except mayoral responsibility. F this moron. He is pushing his Muslim agenda.
Netanyahu is safe from being arrested, but Comrade Mamdani isn't.
Mamdani is leading a master class on how the democratic party should be fighting back and speaking up.
Mamdani has zero authority to arrest the Prime Minister Netanyahu .He has more security than Trump which includes both Shin Bet and Mossad. As head of state he has immunity from arrest in the US.
I believe that with regard to arresting Netanyahu, Mamdani thought he would be praised for being brave and he would get some mileage out of it! Boy, did this Netanyahu thing backfire on him, and it served him right!
People can be anti-Netanyahu and not antisemitic just like people can be anti-Trump and not anti-American.
But if Mamdani visits Israel, Netanyahu can arrest him.
I proudly support Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani for standing for justice and accountability. A criminal is a criminal, no matter their religion, ethnicity, or status. No one is above the law — that is the foundation of the U.S. Constitution.
Mamdani has a first amendment right to speak his mind.
Mamdani is one of the few current leaders on the correct side of history.
Legal and practical barriers make this impossible: • No local authority: A city mayor and NYPD lack jurisdiction to enforce an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant. The U.S. is not a party to the ICC and does not recognize its authority over U.S. allies or citizens. Arresting a foreign head of state falls under federal jurisdiction, not city or state.  • Diplomatic and sovereign immunity: Netanyahu, as Israel’s Prime Minister on an official visit (e.g., to the UN), enjoys diplomatic protections. UN headquarters in New York provides additional safeguards for participating leaders. Local police cannot override this.  • Federal law and U.S. policy: Experts and officials (including from the Trump administration) state that attempting this would be illegal for local authorities. President Trump has explicitly said Netanyahu will not be arrested in the U.S.  • Practical reality: Even if Mamdani directed the NYPD, it would likely be blocked by higher authorities, courts, or federal intervention. Commentators across the spectrum (legal analysts, Republicans like Elise Stefanik, and some Democrats) call it political theater, grandstanding, or unfeasible. 
'Mamdani's' New York City..😆
Are you stuck in the 80s? Mamdani has done wonders in the city. And he did it by making promises and keeping them. No fear. No guilt. No lies.
We already knew that Mike & Zohran said that himself. Try to keep up with your hate spewing.
Mamdani is a Mayor. Not the AG!
Mike sees the the problem well! As ambassador to Israel, I hope he can bring charges against Mamdani.
