The fact that he is talking about it openly tells me he doesn’t expect to do so.
Talking about it openly already creates a big diplomatical issue and embarassment for Israel, which might very much be his main goal.
That’s exactly what they were saying.
Some people need it to be stated more explicitly.
Look at the number of Trump voters that missed every red flag that was glaringly obvious for many people.
Some of course are trying to justify after the fact… but there are a lot that legitimately missed the signs because they either didn’t see it, or thought it was just regular “politics”.
But he’d have to if it came to it. Or his career is over.
I still don’t know how Trump gets to break every promise he ever makes without consequence, but it doesn’t work for anyone else.
Simple. If Trump breaks a promise, clearly it’s because the evil Democrats are preventing him from following through somehow. And if the evil Democrats fail to follow through, it’s because they’re evil Democrats. Hope this helps.
Yeah, and as a mayor you have to wonder if he’s over playing his hand. I don’t know how much a mayor can technically do, and how much other politicians can be a thorn in his side over this… but I’m assuming a mayor doesn’t have all the power here.
What happens if another politician sees this as an overstep and deliberately chooses to make an arrest as hard as possible? If the position of Mayor doesn’t ensure Mamdani can deliver, it’s as you said… political suicide.
I’m worried someone might try make Mamdani look bad. They might orchestrate Netanyahu’s visit, in part, because it’ll make Mamdani look bad. What then?
Even though he can’t and won’t do it, it’s still important he says it out loud to make sure everyone remembers that Bibi is a war criminal.
Don’t make promises you aren’t gonna keep
Nah, if you know you’re not going to do it, at least you can make him less comfortable.
It’d be way cooler if he did tho.
