Mamdani renews call for Netanyahu’s arrest, urges US to join ICC
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani renewed his call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested over alleged war crimes, while arguing that the United States should join the International Criminal Court and enforce its warrants.
“If I had my say, the US government would have joined the ICC, honored every single warrant that they’ve issued. I believe that the US government should join the ICC. It should enforce its warrants for everyone,” Mamdani told Theo Von on “This Past Weekend.”
Mamdani also repeated an accusation he made before Netanyahu’s recent visit to address the UN General Assembly.
“When you ask about the prime minister, we’re talking about the architect of a horrific genocide,” Mamdani said.
Netanyahu has criticized Mamdani, saying that “Jews no longer feel safe” in New York under the mayor. He also took issue with Mamdani’s characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza and social media activity by the mayor’s wife, Rama Duwaji.
“It was strange,” Mamdani said of Netanyahu’s remarks. “I was having a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands at the LGBTQ center in downtown Manhattan … and then I get back from that meeting, and it’s like, ‘Oh, by the way, here’s what he was saying at the UN.’”
Mamdani accused Netanyahu of seeking to divert attention from the allegations against him.
“All of this is an attempt to distract from responsibility – name as many people as possible, try and make it into a back-and-forth. It’s not about me and him.”
“It’s about the fact that he’s the architect of a genocide. And it’s like, yeah, if I was the architect of a genocide, I would probably talk about anything but that,” charged Mamdani.
During his political campaign, Mamdani pledged to order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu if he visited New York based on the ICC warrant.
After instructing his legal team to examine the issue, however, Mamdani acknowledged in July 2026 that New York City does not independently have the legal authority to carry out such an arrest.
The United States is not an ICC member, and legal experts and federal statutes have established that local police cannot enforce its warrants against a sitting foreign head of state with diplomatic immunity while visiting the United Nations.

It's high time that Israel applied the same standards to anti-Zionist Jews from the Chareidi community as they do to far-left jews. Ban them from entering Eretz HaKodesh. Let them steam in their ghettos like drek in a toilet.
Ha Ha, the majority of anti zionist jews. Dont step foot in the מדינה הטמאה,
We don't take your $,
We don't vote in your elections.

You are 100% correct "the majority of anti zionist jews. Dont step foot in the מדינה הטמאה,"
They daven in Progressive and Reform Shuls, the ones with shtreimlach live in KJ Uganda and support a vicious antisemite Mayor that is from Uganda!
You scribble:
"We don't take your $, We don't vote in your elections.
We have no שייכת with them"
That is also correct, so shut the hell up!
You add: "We send loads of money to yiden in ארץ ישראל"
I don't think so, they take money from the מדינה הטמאה,
You write:
"We are waiting
Waiting for משיח, and "ALL of עם ישראל will come back home to ארץ ישראל"
This is something that the gassed and murdered Jews said PreWW2 !

This psak of the
מעיל צדקה
(שו"ת מעיל צדקה סימן כ"ו ד"ה והנ"ל)
"אם יגזור הבית דין בעירם שלא לעלות לא"י
הרי זו כהורה בית דין ששקעה החמה והיא לפנינו, דאין זה הוראה
ואם שנחוש להמריה פי בית דין מפני הכבוד, כבר כתב המבי"ט, דאין לחוש לכיבוד אב ואם החמורה, מכל שכן לגדרי בית דין "
This was written circa 1698
This was written at a time when Ottomon
Turkish empite ruled, and the roads to Israel were dangerous and there were few Jews lived there and only roughly 5,000 Jews lived there, yet most achronim held
lehalacha that a Jews must live in Israel.
Not ONE mentions that one should wait for Moshiach NOT ONE
You are playing with fire with your comment calling a land that the RBS"O gifted us "מדינה הטמאה"
Not even the meraglim called it that!
You are thinking that it is only the government that you called "medina ha'tmieah" but the meraglim were also talking about the government אֶ֚פֶס כִּֽי־עַ֣ז הָעָ֔ם הַיֹּשֵׁ֖ב בָּאָ֑רֶץ
I think that your comment is a chillul hashem and as you know for a chillul Hashem there is no Kappara
Even your rebbes if they say those things they are outright meraglim.
Woe to your soul!
What is the difference between satmar and Netanyahu they are each kissing up to the ones with power. Satmar kisses up to powerful Democrat politicians fir decades. And Netanyahu kisses up to those he needs if he wants to win this coming election

You don't see a difference between an uncivilized Romanian Sect called Satmar, and Netanyahu, an elected leader of millions and a leader of a sovereign nation?
You have a very childish view of the world, 99.9999999% of the world's population never heard of Satmar, they are a meaningless backward sect, whereas Netanyahu is known as a leader by the entire world.
You missed the point because you are part of the gypsy sect.
Netanyahu is doing what is good for Netanyahu despite not believing in it. and $atmar is doing what is good for $atmar despite not believing in anything.
Who care how many gypsies there are (you just have to remember you are also a gypsy even if you deny it) it is irrelevant to the point I made.
