      Very saddened to hear this. Both parties (I’m talking about the Democratic Party under Joe Biden, not Zohran!) have willingly failed to do the right thing.

      I do believe he’s saying the truth, but there are other legal avenues that he could be taking to hamper the funding vehicles of the state of Israel, I hope he focuses on that instead of trying to wash his hands with this.

      Can’t say I’m surprised but its a small step forward that there’s at least one elected official actually calling the genocide what it is and publicly denouncing Netanyahu

      Disappointing but also refreshing to see a politician actually respect the rule of law.

      I hope justice is swift and punishing for Bibi.

      I didn’t expect this to ever be possible, but you know what? The conversation right now is about whether or not Netanyahu is a war criminal, and that’s the right conversation to be having.

      I appreciate mamdani being one of the only democrats to be going on offense

      I appreciate the transparency more than anything. It’s easy for politicians to just sweep losses or failures under the rug, but it feels like Mamdani truly, genuinely wants to keep his citizens informed about not only what’s going to happen, but what they’re considering and exploring.

      what is happening in palestine is a genocide and i appreciate that he is steadfast in acknowledging this.

    13. Brilliant_Spot_95 on

      I do very much appreciate him delivering this the way he did. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and should stand trial in front of an international court. If he’s innocent, let the courts decide.

      Free Palestine.

      This felt so good, to have a leader speak so clearly about the crimes we all witness and are often put in contexts that diminish the immeasurable pain behind it. Please let this be our way forward 🩵🇵🇸

      Good for him. He said he’d arrest Netanyahu on a podcast while he was polling at 1% and ever since he’s been stuck in a rock and a hard place about it’s feasibility. Strategically it would’ve made sense to distance yourself from it or keep dodging the question as to not appear “weak” by admitting he was wrong/made a promise he couldn’t keep. Nice to see a politician come out and admit something like this honestly no matter the risk of backlash or being called a disappointment or a liar. If anything it makes him more honest.

      Since he’s Trump’s son in law’s good family friend I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

    22. RedditHelloMah on

      I don’t care whether this is feasible or not….the fact that he has the guts to say it makes me respect him more and more!

      Zohran you’re setting up the greatest example the USA can have right now. I’m afraid they’re gonna do something to you babes.

      It was going to be a long shot for the mayor to try to arrest a foreign head of state. But a others are saying, this is still a win in that Mamdani has directly called out Netanyahu for what he has done – more than any other politician in either party. Republicans are a lost cause, but he’s shown that Democrats *can* be better. The DNC needs to shape up and get with it.

    29. zoethezebra on

      I love that he’s doing this. A politician that the Israeli government can’t buy. It’s probably driving them absolutely nuts.

    30. 30for30im30for30 on

      Zohran has my support always. Hoping I get the chance to vote for him one day.

    31. RelativeHand4753 on

      Still astonished to a see a major politician (much less the mayor of America’s biggest city) publicly say Netanyahu belongs in the Hague. Entire Democratic party must’ve gone DEFCON 1 after reading that.

    34. bnkaiser on

      The Rome statute is pretty clear than only signatories can effectuate an arrest for the ICC. But this is an expert move by Mamdani to start (or keep alive) a conversation about Bibi’s horrific criminality and the fact that he is a wanted man.
