I'd almost like Netanyahu to travel to New York City to dare Mamdani to try arresting him. First off, traveling foreign dignitaries get security details from the federal government, so Mamdani would have to penetrate the Secret Service cordon to effect an arrest. More basically, however, New York City is not a "city of international law"; it is a city based on American law under the US Constitution, and a mayor's writ does not include enforcing "international law" except to the extent it overlaps US law and does not violate the Supremacy Clause.
Hizzoner needs a refresher civics course, as well as a refresher economics course and a refresher history course. Mostly, however, Mamdani needs intensive treatment for moral idiocy.
