NYC is the home of the UN. For the UN to function, diplomats and heads of state need to be able to work without fear of getting harassed by the US, even if they are from a government the US is hostile towards, otherwise it's just a club for countries that are willing to do what the US says
You’re still trying to add Hasbara spin, regardless of his unpopularity he was still elected and this doesn’t change the point that he has diplomatic protections. Deal with it.
I can appreciate that Hamas has extended diplomatic protections to him, no worries. I fully expect those protections to be honoured in the Illustrious Kingdom of Palestine - my only problem is that I can't find the country of Palestine on any maps - past or present.
No spin, if he wishes to edit his own wikipedia page, he should definitely remove the parts that tie him to the KGB, PLO and many other terrorist groups. It is his page.
You’re a troll and your comment history shows it. Israel doesn’t define their borders either. Majority of the world accepts Palestine as a state and it’s on my maps, why not open google and have a look? If Wikipedia is your source have a look at Netanyahu’s page under war crimes and then Sharon’s and all the way back to Ben Gurion who had warrants for terrorism he admitted to?
ICC designated war criminals should not be given that leniency just because they are a head of state.
Mamdani is not calling for Bibi to be arrested because he goes against America. Hes calling for Bibi's arrest because he has been rightfully designated a war criminal.
Otherwise youre saying that someone could kill 100 million people and should be allowed to freely enter this country if they are a head of state.
Plenty of wanted genocidal heads of state have gone to the UN in New York City. Omar al-Bashir, Idi Amin, and Gadaffi all came and spoke at the UN well after their crimes were public knowledge. Milošević came to Ohio for the Dayton leave accords as well. If the US is going to position itself as a place for diplomacy, it has to actually let diplomacy happen here even with awful people
The fuck is this logic. Diplomacy can be had while excluding war criminals. Previous administrations letting war criminals in doesnt mean its the right thing. People like Bibi and Putin dont have good faith negotiations for peace. Including them doesnt do the world any good. Arresting them and causing a power vacuum in their nations and establishing a precedent of international retribution towards genocidal fucks might actually do everyone else some good.
Did any of those guys have an ICC warrant for their arrest?
The US has absolutely no obligation to allow his visa. People like Benny should fear coming to US soil. Not because we are evil, but because evil knows when its in the wrong house.
Oh calm your tits - yeah let’s harbor war criminals(even tho we have one in the White House) and say it’s not a big deal because the US can’t ‘harass’ them
