As Twitchy reported on Wednesday, Ben "Hamas" Rhodes clutched his pearls when the Iranian ambassador suggested that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani should be arrested after being asked by Fox News about Mamdani's threat to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes when he arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly in September. Frustrated that he couldn't have the NYPD put Netanyahu in cuffs, Mamdani "left it to New Yorkers" to decide if they wanted to stage a protest, which is "something that we will always respect."
Netanyahu took the microphone at the UN on Thursday and returned the favor, laying hard into Mamdani and his "Hamas buddies."
🚨 JUST IN: Netanyahu is GOING BALLISTIC on Ugandan Mayor Mamdani at the UN in NYC

Mamdani has FAILED to block Netayahu from NYC
"Mr. Mamdani, you tried to STOP ME from coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you CAN'T silence me! You can't silence the truth!" *Applause*… pic.twitter.com/5eV9vvgC9D
The post continues:
… "Mr. Mamdani...it's no wonder, you praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas, you count as friends people like Hasan Piker who said America deserve 9/11!"
"And here's the simple truth — Israel didn't commit genoc*de. Israel prevented genoc*de! That's what Mamdani's Hamas buddies would've done to us had we not stopped them. They would've k*lled every last one of us."
This comes after Mamdani CAVED on his arrest warrant push for Netanyahu.
Mamdani never had any authority WHATSOEVER to block any foreign leader from New York City, NOR to arrest them. That authority rests entirely with President Trump and Marco Rubio
Which Marco DID do by blocking the "Palestinian" delegation 🔥
America will always stand with our greatest allies in Israel! 🇺🇸 🇮🇱

Mamdani should be sent back to Uganda ASAP!

I 100% support Bibi and Israel based on this part of his speech alone, but the entire speech was straight facts. He called out the hypocrisy of everyone, and anyone with a functional brain should question why people hate Israel so much! The propaganda is evil!!

Mamdani has successfully restored the friendship between Americans and the Jewish nation 😂

Give him hell, that’s where Mamdani will end up. Terrorists and their supporters will rot in hell forever! May God bless and protect Netanyahu and all the Jewish people they have been persecuted long enough🙏 Pray for peace🙏

Netanyahu spoke the truth, and he didn’t sugarcoat a damn thing. He walked right into that room and lit Mamdani up because somebody finally had to. Mamdani has been running around pretending he’s some global gatekeeper when he can’t even keep New York from falling apart. The guy…

The post continues:
… tried to block a foreign leader like he’s running national security — he’s not running anything. He’s a joke.
New York used to be the crown jewel of this country. Now it’s a caution sign. And it’s because of people like Mamdani who bend over for every radical ideology that comes down the pipe. He’s not protecting New Yorkers. He’s not defending America. He’s chasing extremist approval like it’s his job.
And Hochul? She folded right next to him. She’s supposed to be the guard, the one who steps in when things get insane. Instead she’s out here nodding along with the same garbage that’s dragging the state into the ground. She’s not guarding anything — she’s handing the whole damn place over.
This is how a great city becomes a failed state. Not because of the people — because of the leadership. Because the ones in charge aren’t leaders at all. They’re activists in suits pretending they’re running a country.
Netanyahu said the truth. And the truth needed to be said.
👏👏👏👏👏
The comments are full of a lot of Hamas apologists who ask who Netanyahu is to be criticizing an American citizen. Again, who is Mamdani, an American mayor, to think he had the power to arrest Netanyahu on behalf of the International Criminal Court, which the United States is not part of.
Stepped right into his house and dogged him out
