I’ve never looked at someone’s terrible boundaries or lack of confidence and thought, let me come and take advantage of it.

It takes a bad person, to take advantage of someone that clearly isn’t. And they should be called out for it.
Mamdani just spent several minutes detailing Netanyahu’s alleged war crimes before saying he has no authority to arrest him and leaves the matter to the federal government.
Fine. Then use every power the mayor does have.
Don’t roll out the red carpet for a wanted war criminal. Don’t use the NYPD to insulate him from public outrage. Don’t suppress the New Yorkers who take to the streets demanding accountability.
If Netanyahu is truly not welcome in New York City, that principle should be reflected in how the city treats his visit, not just in rhetoric.
