Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on Thursday on his way to address the UN, despite an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.

Netanyahu arrived in the US for a short visit to address the UN General Assembly in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.

I’d also love to see him in handcuffs

But you've already decided that no country should be expected to actually arrest him

he can’t be safely arrested

What does "safely arrested" fucking mean? You've already declared that no country can use force against him, so he can just say "no" if any country tried to arrest him. He could literally hike through these countries and, according to you, there's nothing they can do about it.

I literally never said either of those things and don't agree with them either. But whatever, I'm not gonna continue to argue if you're just going to make shit up.

Enjoy your echo chamber, buddy (apt username btw)
