The Islamist commie Mamdani is flexing his antisemitic chops once again. This past week the New York mayor announced his intention to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he ever entered New York. Of course he has no legal authority to do that, but it's his way of sending a message to his Jewish-hating base that he would if he could. I'm sure if he could he would roundup all Jewish New York residents and ship them out to a concentration camp too. I have no doubt.

It's absolutely amazing to me that New York elected this antisemite as mayor. At first all the pundits were saying that Mamdani's election is not a harbinger of the country at large. New York is extremely left-wing, they said, so don't worry about this proliferating across the country at large. That's what was said during his election, and since then it has proliferated into other jurisdictions and states. You see, if this kind of hatred isn't contained, it spreads. History has proven this time and time again.

Commie Mamdani is looking to remake New York to suit his constituency. Recently he proudly unveiled a map of New York which highlighted ethnic neighborhoods in the city. It included places like Little Palestine, and yet totally ignored historic Little Italy and other well known Jewish and Irish immigrant areas.

The map, titled "New York City Immigrant Enclaves," highlights 30 areas across the five boroughs, ranging from Koreatown in Manhattan to Little Pakistan in Brooklyn and Little Yemen in The Bronx. Another signal to his Islamic base that his goal is to eliminate ethnicities that he doesn't particularly care for.

But this desire to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu isn't a new idea with him. It was a promise he made during his campaign for mayor. He said he would order the New York City Police Department to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister as soon as he stepped foot in New York. Even though legal experts warned him that he would have zero authority to do so, Mamdani said last week he was actively consulting with city lawyers to find a way he could legally arrest Netanyahu.

When he was told he couldn't do it, Mamdani finally conceded the point, saying "My administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here.

It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant." Then the antisemite went on to say that Netanyahu is a "war criminal" and "the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people." He made absolutely no reference whatsoever to the Hamas atrocities against Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023 — the act of inhuman evil that launched the very war he blamed Netanyahu for prosecuting too aggressively.

Mamdani spoke passionately and at length about his charges against Netanyahu, including "the killing of more than 73,000 people" and "the maiming of tens of thousands of children," again without mentioning the Hamas atrocities or the tendency of Hamas and other terrorist groups to hide their weapons and command centers beneath civilian structures.

Once again he referenced the International Criminal Court, an organization which the United States has never recognized as legitimate. "There is a reason the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest," Mamdani said. "As human beings, we have spent generations building a shared understanding that there are crimes so grave they offend all of humanity. Anyone with their eyes, their heart, with their conscience should recognize the devastation he has wrought, and understand that he belongs before a court of law."

Mamdani then had the chutzpah (a word you can bet he will never use) to demand the U.S. federal government "join the ICC and execute this warrant." He added that even though he cannot arrest Prime Minister Netanyahu, he was addiment that Netanyahu "is not welcome in New York City, nor is any other war criminal at large." In effect placing a large target on the back of the Prime Minister.

This evil Islamist Mamdani has telegraphed his okay for people in New York to protest and perhaps even commit violence against Netanyahu. There's no other way to read this. If anything happens to Benjamin Netanyahu while he's in our country, you can place the blame on Mamdani. He has given the green light for violent actions to occur.

Mamdani is a dangerous person who never should have been elected to any office in New York or anywhere else in our country. My prayers are with Benjamin Netanyahu, a brave and courageous leader.
