Memdani is very skilled. I think him and his team could easily call escorting Netanyahu's motorcade through New York and delivering him to federal authorities an "arrest" even though the feds would let him go immediately. He would be seen doing everything he could despite it being effectively performative.

So yeah, Netanyahu won't risk the embarrassment.

    Anyone who still supports him after everything he's done either knows what they are doing. Even if they don't, they have to be so woefully ignorant as to be in need of triage rather than anything else. How can we stop the maga faithful from doing damage? We can't change them.

    I know this is ironic, but this was how the anti-woke propaganda began - taking jokes like this literally, and whining that SJWs are losing their minds and biology this and that. There was never a looney left outside of grifting right-wingers and a tiny handful of very online university students.

    Europe seems to be doing alright. Democracy is doing better there than anywhere else right now. There are much worse organizations and regimes, and we need more unity in the world, not less, right now.

    I hear too many people taking the stability of the modern world entirely for granted. Do be you want the US to remain the hegemon? China? Russia? Who?
