Mamdani’s Delusional Miscalculation

By: Larry Gordon

The socialist/communist dingbats who think they’re on an upward path to someday lead this country are in all seriousness one of the greatest jokes of the 21st Century so far.

Last week, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his administration is examining whether it has any legal authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York for the UN General Assembly in September. Mamdani cited the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Netanyahu and said he believes Netanyahu belongs in The Hague, while emphasizing that his administration would act only within the law. Israel denies the ICC’s allegations and rejects the court’s jurisdiction.

Those of us in New York who follow the news know that Zohran Mamdani is an enemy of Israel and a man who openly and proudly hates Jews. And he genuinely feels that the world is on his side when it comes to his attitude about Jews and Israel.

And Bibi Netanyahu is not just the elected leader of the State of Israel. In a more profound way, he’s the leader of the Jews in the diaspora as well. And if you are politically oriented, you probably recognize that Bibi is in effect, the leader of 21st century Jewish communities.

So, when Mamdani criticizes Netanyahu, he is openly denigrating all Jews, which he feels is right and proper and that he has the majority of the world on his side. The nature of Mamdani’s hatred demonstrates a serious mental imbalance akin to his extreme radicalism that he mistakes for “normal.”

The other day, President Trump said he can assure Bibi of at least one thing, that when the prime minister is in New York, he will not be arrested by the NYPD or anyone that the mayor directs.

Zohran Mamdani is filled with hatred, specifically for Jews and especially Jewish New Yorkers. He demonstrates this continually with his support for antisemitic rioters and omitting Jewish neighborhoods on his map celebrating “ethnic diversity” in NYC. How he became mayor of New York, which has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, will be studied by political scientists for decades to come.

More than anything, Mamdani is a liar. He knows in that gleeful, smirking little head of his that there is no legal way for him to arrest Mr. Netanyahu, even if the Israeli Prime Minister were to walk down Fifth Avenue without a security detail.

Ever since the UN was created and placed in New York, the international agency has played host to the world’s worst tyrants and greatest warmongers and genocidal maniacs in history, like Fidel Castro, Muammar Gaddafi, Hugo Chavez, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Very much to the contrary—and Mamdani’s small mind must know this—Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, the only country in the Middle East where Muslims are treated equally, work in all fields, and even serve as judges, with one Muslim jurist currently serving on Israel’s Supreme Court.

But Zohran Mamdani is so consumed with hate for Jews to the point that he can’t see beyond his own hostility. Before becoming mayor or an elected official, Mamdani and his friends were organizers on college campuses for anything that could be directed in some negative fashion against Jews. He often led chants on campuses like: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” And one of his old favorites: “Free, Free Palestine.”

He and his wife became cheerleaders for Hamas and Hezbollah, with his wife liking photos that showed images of Jews being raped and murdered on October 7th in the Gaza envelope, rachmana litzlan. This week, Mamdani was overflowing with glee at the prospect of arresting Bibi Netanyahu when he enters New York for the General Assembly at the UN.

Mamdani may not know much about the law, but he knows that a mayor cannot order an arrest and especially that of a foreign official who enjoys diplomatic immunity. Some of the world’s worst miscreants have visited New York during General Assembly week. Whether it was Vladimir Putin or an Iranian Ayatollah responsible for the murder of millions, they all enjoyed and benefited from immunity by virtue of their diplomatic status.

But Zohran the Moron takes delight in harassing and intimidating the Jewish community in New York. When you look around these days, it feels as if the momentum is on his side. Media personalities like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens are with him regardless of how silly their arguments are.

The other day, I heard Kelly say that her journalistic position has never been bought nor is it for sale. She emphasized that while countries and governments have tried to buy her opinion, no one tried harder or more often than Israel.

Last week, there was a vote in the House on legislation introduced by Congressman Thomas Massie calling for the U.S. to halt arms sales to Israel. Massie was recently voted out of office after AIPAC spent over $70 million to orchestrate his defeat at the polls.

While many feel that AIPAC does a great job of protecting Israel and the U.S.-Israel relationship, what people like Massie and Carlson and now Megyn Kelly fail to recognize that the first word in AIPAC is America. In other words, these are American citizens exercising their constitutional rights as U.S. citizens to campaign legally and properly for what they feel is right for the U.S.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t see it that way, that it’s a delegation of U.S. citizens debating about what is best for our country and how to protect ourselves and our foreign relationships around the world. Mamdani just hates Jews and Israel and in particular Benjamin Netanyahu.

Not that his position on Israel would change if someone other than Netanyahu was prime minister. He might shift a bit if Israel’s prime minister were Ahmad Tibi or Mansour Abbas.

Netanyahu will no doubt be in New York in September and if you paid attention this week, Mamdani was double-talking the issue. He said that he felt that Bibi had committed war crimes and therefore needs to be arrested especially by him here in New York. The U.S. does not belong to the International Criminal Court and that is probably because the court is composed mostly of international criminals. You know, people with similar values as Mamdani and his associates: bad, ruthless people, inexplicable, and mindless Jew haters—criminals themselves.
