Very immediate, like he needs the Interpol on speed dial and they need their jet fueled up and ready to go. As soon as Trump or any of the government officials taking Israel's money for the last several decades hears about it, they'll try to get him released from a lawful arrest.
I think Interpol and the ICC should set up a sting and disappear Bibi just like the tens of thousands of people Bibi disappeared. Straight to The Hague, do not pass go, do not collect the billions of dollars other Zionist governments keep sending his death cult.
Some folks keep mentioning that the mayor of NYC has no legal standing to arrest Ben, Trump's getting away with awful shit too and nobody with any authority in the US seems capable/willing to stop him. When laws are being violated over and over with no one enforcing them, what good are the rules but shackles for the law-abiding citizens? Ben MUST answer for his crimes in some fashion.
will he fly into the rich people's secret part of the airport? Cuz, what happens in the rich people's secret part of the airport stays in the rich people's secret part of the airport. You didn't think all those imported sex slaves in Saudi Arabia went through the regular part of the airport, did you?
As much as I distrust "Bibi" I can't help but feel some doubts about arresting someone who comes to visit the U.N. It may be the only place in the world where even a war criminal should be able to speak.
So a head of state, even a genocidal one, is immune from arrest while visiting any other country due to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which the US is a signer.
If Kim Jong Un came to the UN to speak, the US couldn't touch him... if Putin came to speak, same... the Ayatollah of Iran and the President of Cuba can come to speak, and the US has no authority to stop them.
The US has, in the past, blocked some diplomats from the UN, but never a head of state.
Sorry, it was Philadelphia (suburbs technically). They lived there from 1956-58 and 1963-67 before he went back to enlist in the IDF, and he returned to the US in 1972.
She's a Zionist jew: Vernikov was arrested on charges of criminal possession of a firearm after bringing a gun to a pro-Palestinian rally on Brooklyn College's campus. Vernikov had accused the protestors of supporting Hamas following the start of the Gaza war, and claimed the rallies would make CUNY campuses unsafe for Jewish students.
So, while Netanyahu absolutely should be arrested, hog-tied and shipped off to The Hague, I do not know what jurisdiction the NYPD or New York County Sheriff's Office or any other NYC law enforcement organization, would have to arrest a foreign leader.
Esp one traveling on a diplomatic passport in the city where the UN is (If you grew up in, or live in, NYC, you know what a pain in the ass those diplomatic fucks are, parking in front of hydrants, without one fuck to give).
Lacking jurisdiction is not the same as lacking the physical capability to so do. Cops love to abuse their position. On the other hand, I have absolutely zero trust that this woman(?) is accurately presenting anyone's alleged campaign promises.
There's no way Mamdani is dumb enough to shoot his newborn poltiical career in the gut with an insane play like this. If physical capability is what mattered in politics we wouldnt have a bunch of frail old white men running most of the world.
If physical capability _wasn't_ what matters in politics, we wouldn't have federal thugs storming through cities, arresting citizens under the guise of "enforcing immigration law". They don't give a fuck about your laws. If ICE can disappear someone for a few days with no legal basis, NYPD can do it.
But I highly doubt he would do anything other than try to... he also said he would 'operate within the bounds of the law' which makes his attempt kind of half-hearted, at best.
So, like the ICC, Interpol is really just a data collection organization, they actually don't have any law enforcement officers or agents with arresting powers... they do provide centralized database of crime-monsters, they do provide investigative support...
They depend on members states to arrest people and try them... Interpol has no role.
Crimes against humanity usually inspire Universal Jurisdiction - meaning people concerned with them assert their jurisdiction is everywhere to address them. Jurisdiction is not an issue, internal U.S politics is.
Should be treated as established international law, tgat waives the requirements of ratification. Experts should declare the issue solved, we must move forward. Criminals belong in jail.
So, Adolph Eichmann agreed to be extradited to Israel for trial... I mean, not initially, but he did sign an agreement allowing his trial, making his kidnapping lawful.
Granted, Mossad may have used some percussive maintenance on Eichmann to get that signature, on paper, it appeared voluntary.
That is the primary trickiness... a ratified treaty (in the US) has the full force of Federal Law.
Even if we had ratified it, it would be outside the City of New York's jurisdiction to enforce it, only the FBI could (the NYPD can only enforce NY State Law and City of New York civil ordinances, if they see someone committing a Federal Crime (that is not also a NY State crime), they generally have to call the Feds (who will drive over and pick them up, cuz the city can hold anyone for 24 hrs).
Not quite. Law enforcement can detain outside of jurisdiction so long as they're cooperating with the people who are making the arrest. Its why military police can detain a civilian for the civilian authorities, and vice versa. Neither has jurisdiction over the other but they sure can choose to cooperate.
That is why I said... "who will drive over and pick them up, cuz the city can hold anyone for 24 hrs".... or detain on an out-of-state or Federal warrant...
Well it's NYC, so even if all the federal groups that would have jurisdiction in this scenario didn't have local offices in or near NYC (they all do), it's still only a 4-6 hour drive from DC where most of them are headquartered.
So if any of those groups wasn't licking Trump boot and would actually do something about it, then it would be quite simple. It's really just the fact that their under Trump's thumb that's the problem, the logistics of picking him up are quite simple.
Couldn’t Mandan host a bunch of ICC officers and let them handle it? Then it’d be in the feds hands to try to stop them? I’d get out the popcorn for that.
What is an 'ICC officer'? The ICC has no cops, no agents, no law enforcement or bounty hunters, of any kind... they expect member states to hog-tie people and deliver them to them.
Just have the ICC agents ready and waiting, and do nothing to obstruct them as they carry out their warrants. That's within the bounds of the law, and prevents him from the cause.
Except the ICC has no jurisdiction over the US who is not party to it, so by doing so they'd be (legally speaking) accessory to kidnapping. It'd be nice, but as it stands Mamdani's statement act as more of an expression of intent than a real idea. That said, he seems to plan on divesting NYC funds from Israel, which is more within his ability and probably more impactful given how as shitty as Netanyahu is, his cabinet/party is full of equally shitty people that would just take his place.
Out of curiosity, why do people think Interpol are cops? They have no agents with arresting power or anyone with any authority to do anything... they are a database service and do offer investigative support, but they expect member states to do all of the arresting and trying and convicting and imprisoning.
Yup. People who claim that protest of Israel's actions is "antisemitism" are implying they think the protests are of *who is doing it*, and not *what is being done*.
They're so full of hatred for Palestinians, they can't conceive of a reason to be in defense of them other than due to a greater hatred for Israel.
I guess? They seem to monolith-ize Palestine as Hamas because Hamas was an elected power, while selectively omitting Israeli aggression from recollection.
To them, Palestine is purely bloodthirsty beasts who started terrorizing an innocent Israel, Israel's actions are a warranted euthanasia of said beasts, and any defense of Palestine is therefore tantamount to wanting innocent Jews to be slaughtered.
Which is a demonstrably false propaganda, regardless what crimes Hamas has or has not done.
“Antisemitism is on the rise even tho we’re conflating the Jewish faith with a genocidal regime. We tried killing children, we tried starving them, we tried blaming Muslims and liberals. No matter how many children we murder or how many prisoners we rape, people won’t stop criticizing us! …because they’re racist!”
I find it atrocious that Jews went through the holocaust, 6 million people died, and yet the Jews are now committing a holocaust in the guise of being oppressed. I Howie that every one of them burns in eternal hellfire.
This is part true and part false, you're over generalizing. While the Zionists in Israel are committing atrocities, being the Nazis, there are a lot of Jews in Israel and around the world opposed to everything Netanyahu is doing recognizing it for what it really is, genocide. So please be careful with such comments.
Problem is that Netanyahu is a foreign head of state (with diplomatic immunity to boot) and foreign affairs/immigration are solely the domain of the Federal gov (and the US isn't party to the ICC anyway). So doing that would be kidnapping, and everyone else would be arrested. I appreciate the intent, though. Sadly, it'll take a sane President or Congress to deal with him, not a sane mayor :/
The FAA is entirely federal, so they'd likely not leave the ground if they tried to fly. The Coast Guard is also federal, so they're probably not going by boat. And by car requires going through a checkpoint, so. Also, I wouldn't put anything past those shitheads, especially when literal invasion isn't the only stick they could shake. The whole problem with this situation is that the sane, good people are not in the proper positions to do anything quite so immediately executive.
See an ice agent , ask for face, a name and badge number. Don’t have it?? That makes you a criminal or an oppressive tyrant. Both make lethal force a lawful action.
