Mamdani Threatens to Arrest Netanyahu If Elected NYC Mayor

If elected, New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani told The New York Times he would enforce an International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if the leader visited the city during his tenure.

Newsweek has reached out to Mamdani's campaign, Netanyahu's office, and several legal scholars for comment via email on Saturday.

Here is the problem:

1. The Mayor of a city does not have the power of arrest.

Mayors do not have the legal authority to arrest individuals. They are civilian officials, not law enforcement officers, and their powers are administrative and political, not judicial or policing in nature.

He might think he is powerful - but he is not.

Even if he forces the police to do his bidding, there is a difference between local and Federal authority. The man who thinks he is king of NY does not have the power and neither does his police department.

Municipal authorities cannot legally arrest a leader of another nation. Heads of state typically enjoy immunity under international law, and local officials lack jurisdiction to detain foreign leaders unless acting under specific international mandates.

Why Municipal Arrests of Foreign Leaders Are Not Permitted

Sovereign immunity protects sitting heads of state from arrest or prosecution by other countries’ local or national authorities. This principle is recognized in customary international law and codified in treaties like the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
Municipal officials (e.g., city police or mayors) operate under local and state law. They do not have authority over international matters or foreign dignitaries.
International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants may call for the arrest of foreign leaders accused of crimes like genocide or war crimes, but enforcement must be carried out by national governments—not local municipalities—and only if the country is a party to the Rome Statute and chooses to comply.

Legal and Diplomatic Constraints

Arresting a foreign leader without proper jurisdiction would violate international law and could trigger a diplomatic crisis or even retaliation.
Even in cases where a foreign leader is under an ICC warrant, national governments must weigh legal obligations against political consequences, as seen in recent controversies involving leaders like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.

So is he ignorant - or is this just another publicity stunt?

Hi everyone, this post is intended for those who God is calling back.
The Son of God, the Son of Man (Psalm 80), Jesus Christ is God's Son and he is with us, seek him to find him. He is also known as the Son of Elias that resides in Heaven with God the Father, the Holy Spirit and his hosts of angels and Saints.
His word is found in the New Testament and he is the only bridge to God the Father that leads to eternal life to be saved from spiritual death at the end of time.
Through his precious Son's blood we are made to be fit alone through him for the forgiveness and remission of our sins. His Eucharist again joins us to his Body as members of Christ which he is the Head of that Body (Ephesians 1:22-23).

God the Father awaits to meet you to. God’s arms always extends to you. He wants us all to be grafted back onto his Olive tree which he loves with a passion (Romans 11) "Israel,

God the Father awaits to meet you to. God’s arms always extends to you. He wants us all to be grafted back onto his Olive tree which he loves with a passion (Romans 11) "Israel, and so all Israel shall be saved as it is written" those who are not joined yet who are not Christian he wants you and you need to be grafted in back onto the Olive tree to be saved." those who are not joined yet who are not Christian he wants you and you need to be grafted in back onto the Olive tree to be saved.

God has many faces as (Psalm 18) tell us, he has the capacity to show divine love and mercy to those who give him their love and who are obedient towards him as Jeremiah showed us (Jeremiah 31:31). God can be compassionate, but shrewd when he wants to be to the enemy He is GOD, the same GOD as always.

We are all the same before God as (Galatians 3:28) tells us and he wants us all to be grafted back onto his Olive tree from all nations including where he was most passionate and stood as their God of the Israelites-why not come back to the Olive tree...you are being gently called in the wind, his spirit will reach you. I know God will do what he said he will do he will come through and he will establish his people in the New Jerusalem which people of Christ will be invited to join him and where peace and love will abound with sweet Solomon songs.

The unbeliving Jews will be grafted back in when they meet and accept the Son of Man Yeshua, Jesus Christ who is our Saviour as God's Son and they will. The Holy Spirit and more signs of Christ will instigate leading them back and people will be being baptised in the street and which were empty will soon be filled and God’s spirit will be poured out on the earth as the Prophet Joel said (Joel 2:28) till the Perfect One comes again which is only Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12) who has the keys to Heaven and who is God's only Beloved Son (Matthew 3:17).

The Jews were God's chosen people.
The Christian Gentiles are now grafted into their Olive tree.
The Jews will be grafted back in, when they come back to God, which they will.

It is not "their" olive tree, it is God's olive tree, which is his people through faith in the promise (Ge 15:5-6, Seed, Jesus Christ, Gal 3:16).

Agreed, and the point is that the mere act of believing does not save one but the fact of what faith means, what it results in, is what saves us. And the basis is nearness to God, connection to the Vine who is life itself. Abd we can walk away from that relationship and the grace it affords as easily as we once entered it

that is why I mentioned the fact that certain conditions CAN develop quickly and thus early treatment is not an option. Then again in cases where it is life or death at a given time you will get treatment enough to get you stable.

Here are the facts in today’s political environment.

Some Democrats support universal healthcare, but often do not mention that it would require all Americans to pay additional taxes. They frequently reference European models without noting that the average European pays over 35% in taxes.

On the other hand, the Republican party has not put forward a specific health care policy. Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have attempted to repeal it 42 times without providing an alternative solution.

Today, many conservatives assert that there is no issue with healthcare costs, suggesting that individuals who experience sudden health problems and cannot afford care are responsible for not seeking medical attention promptly. In other words, some conservatives deny that healthcare affordability is a concern in America.

Democrats may not have the best solution for universal healthcare, but they acknowledge there's a problem to address. Some conservatives, however, remain so opposed that they won't even recognize America's healthcare affordability issue.

what about the fact that the N in SNAP says otherwise? It was not meant to help people buy junk food.

nutrition

noun

nu·tri·tion nu̇-ˈtri-shən nyu̇-

: the act or process of nourishing or being nourished
specifically : the sum of the processes by which an animal or plant takes in and utilizes food substances

Where in there does it specify "but not junk food." Sounds like you think "nutrition" automatically means "healthy" when "nutrition" actually just means to not starve. "Nutrition" is neutral, not healthy or unhealthy. It's just referring to the process of getting calories.

True, but their average wages will increase as well. Alternatively, part of all of that 'average' $21,000 employers are paying now could go directly into the health care fund.

You're assuming that employers will increase salaries if they don't have to pay employees' insurance premiums.

Some companies may consider this option, but there is no guarantee it will occur, as employers are not obligated to do so. It is possible that certain non-profit organizations would implement such measures if they are not expanding their operations with the savings; however, there is no assurance that for-profit organizations would take similar actions.

You really think many of us old farts are dissatisfied with medicare? Medicare is better than any employer -funded health care I ever had when I was working, and I would have been happy to have it instead.

Why?

MEDICARE is great. None but MAGA, libertarian and socialist diehards prefer a different system.

I am 100% fine with Medicare for all Americans.
==========
If there are to be insurance companies covering health care, I do believe that regulation should be at the state level so that decision-making can be more local. For example, I could see rural states having higher reimbursement rates for rural hospitals.
==========
So, for me, there are transition steps to having reasonable cost access for all Americans.
1) Romneycare/Obamacare is a first step. And, yes, subsidies are needed, as we knew from the beginning. The question is what percentage and how the subsidies are shared between the feds and the state governments.
2) When this system is more stable, we should move to reduce the level of employer involvement in health insurance. This is primarily a tax issue, starting with reducing the deductions for high-cost insurance options, and eventually not covering employer contributions.
3) The phase-in of Medicare for all is likely to be a slow process. Obviously, Medicare contribution rates would increase for those coming into the system (or those below a certain age) while the age for getting benefits would decease year by year.
4) But let's be clear, taxes need to rise a bit. Consider how well the country did in the 60's and 90's with much higher marginal tax rates. This CANNOT happen politically without a serious reduction in federal government spending though revenue sharing of voluntary social welfare costs and a thorough efficiency improvement in military and federal security processes and spending.

The resistance does not come in the arena of logic and the mind. It comes in the arena of the heart. People do not want to forsake godless ways. They love the free sex, abortion as a solution, hating parents, and an endless stream of evil and darkness. They use mental arguments as excuses to continue their sinfulness and rebellion. You are not going to beat them in the mind, which is their stronghold. You can only overcome this barrier with the Word. Present them with the scriptures about sin, repentance, faith, and surrender. Allowing them to continue in their stronghold will establish them, not dislodge them.

Sorry, I thought you knew a little Greek; καί means "and," so one potential rendering in English is "as well as." But just saying "they meet on Saturdays and Sundays" doesn't draw a clear distinction between meeting on Saturday as opposed to meeting on Sunday.
Another point when it comes to English usage, "as well as" can be used in the sense of "in addition to," which actually indicates that the first item is of less importance than the second, and I suspect this is actually the more proper usage of the phrase. If something is done "as well as" something else, the "something else" is the reference for how well "something" is to be done.

Wow!

That still draws a distinction. between the Sabbath and the 1st day of the week.

You haven't seen any evidence that "most assemblies and believers across the world at that time still kept The Sabbath" is contradicted by "the obligation to observe the Mosaic law and the ceremonial types ceased"? Do you not think keeping the Sabbath was part of the Mosaic law?

"At that time" was when Constantine the Sun Worshiper made "The Venerable Day of the Sun" a day of rest.

On March 7, 321, Roman Emperor Constantine I decreed that dies Solis Invicti (‘sun-day,’ or Day of Sol Invictus, Roman God of the Sun) would be the Roman day of rest throughout the Roman Empire.

2 New Jersey men arrested over alleged Michigan anti-LGBTQ+ Halloween terror plot

The New York City police and FBI-Newark have arrested two 19-year-olds from New Jersey in connection with a supposed Halloween terror plot in Michigan, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Milo Sedarat of Montclair, New Jersey was allegedly in communication with those arrested in Michigan on Friday and others overseas. A second 19-year-old, Tomas Kaan Guzel, was also arrested.

There are few details released yet on Guzel's arrest.

According to the sources, an NYPD undercover investigator had been monitoring a suspect who was in communication with those arrested in Michigan and others overseas. The group allegedly talked about an attack on the LGBTQ+ community in Detroit and about traveling to Syria to train with ISIS.

Glad we finally found out what the Michigan terror plot was about.
