Netanyahu says Mamdani uses arrest threat to distract from NYC failures

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of using threats to arrest Netanyahu as a distraction from his own record after Mamdani said the city was reviewing whether it could detain the Israeli leader during the United Nations General Assembly in September.

“The ICC is a kangaroo court that has no jurisdiction over Americans or Israelis,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.

Netanyahu’s post said the arrest warrant was issued by former ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan shortly before allegations of sexual misconduct against him became public and described the move as an attempt to divert scrutiny.

The statement said Israel had taken unprecedented wartime measures to reduce civilian harm while fighting Hamas, which it called “a genocidal terrorist organization that uses Palestinians as human shields and deliberately targets innocent Israeli civilians.”

“Instead of backing Khan’s criminal behavior, Mr. Mamdani should focus on fixing the damage his policies have caused New York,” the statement said. “Like Karim Khan, Mamdani appears interested in diverting public attention from his follies and attacking the leader of the Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East.”

Mamdani said New York City’s Law Department is examining whether the mayor or the New York Police Department has authority to arrest a visiting foreign head of government.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani said on The Interview, a New York Times program hosted by Lulu Garcia-Navarro. “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.”

Mamdani said the issue remains under legal review. “Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” he said.

During last year’s mayoral campaign, Mamdani told The New York Times he would direct police to arrest Netanyahu if he visited the city.

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, alleging responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity over the conflict in Gaza.

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said Mamdani was neglecting his duties as mayor and using attacks on Israel to generate headlines. Danon added, “The Prime Minister of Israel will come to New York, address the General Assembly of the UN with pride, and stand before the world.”

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
