Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Maybe he thinks if he tells the police they aren't racist, they will do this?

Objectively cool thing to say but he would never actually do this because they would definitely kill him for it, assuming the cops even followed this order to begin with, which they absolutely would not

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

this little cuck thinks I'll think he's cool for saying this and forget that he just said he's so sowwy for saying the NYPD is racist, fuck yourself mamdani

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Surely Netanyahu will just not go to NYC right?

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

I think he surely will go and trump will offer him protection from federal officers.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

I think Bibi knows the federal government is so totally dominated by Zionism that they will rapidly free him even imagining he was apprehended, allowing him to look like a martyr without anything bad actually happening to them. Or the NYPD refuses and he makes Mamdani look even more pathetic than in the previous scenario. He's totally making a trip if Mamdani wins.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

UN headquarters is there so he probably will anyway

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

UN keeps having to have shit other places because the US refuses to give visas to Palestinian diplomats. They’ll just relocate rather than worry about it

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

He can't resist going to the UN and being a racist warmonger. It's his favorite past time.

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

where else would you campaign for office in Israel?

[–] DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 5 months ago (1 children)

NYPD has 'counterterrorism officers' stationed across the globe. Looks like one is supposed to be in Tel Aviv. I wonder how his day is going

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 35 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sending disgraced officers to pisrael on the doomed mission to single-handedly arrest bibi, and waiting for them to be merced

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

~~defund~~ depopulate the police

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 11 points 5 months ago

I'd watch that as a short TV series

[–] Leegh@hexbear.net 34 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)
  1. The NYPD will not comply and will actively undermine his entire stint in office.

  2. Even if they were to comply, the feds will find a way to release him.

  3. The feds will 100% try to off him for doing it.

And this is all assuming Mamdani is sincere here and is not just doing a populist gesture that he will immediately backtrack once in power.

[–] la_tasalana_intissari_mata@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

if the nypc can't be stopped from running over protestors what makes him think they'll follow his order to arrest netenyahu? still even if they arrest will do nothing, he's just a guy, the genocide has been happening for more than 80 years

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you promise something you know you will be prevented from doing, you can get credit for trying to do it without the ramifications of actually doing it.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

Very clearly just trying to cover his ass after apologizing to the NYPD.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lmao I’m sorry but this is clearly just to win favors with his base because this is not going to happen if he doesn’t reform the NYPD.

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 5 months ago

It's unreformable, fundamentally. The minute any structural change is even proposed, the national guard will move in.

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

Cool bud you ready to discipline those thugs when they refuse

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

This only means anything if he 100% vocally commits to arresting him or any indicted israeli who comes to NYC for UN shit

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Someone on his staff must've had a TALK with him about the apology tour he was pulling

Let's see if it's actaully corrected

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He's said for some time that he'd do this

[–] Euergetes@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

yes but re-iterating it after the cop apology that nobody liked suggests a correction, or a distraction

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

didn't he say that months ago?

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, he's just restating it now to try and slap a bandaid on the cracks in the dam of his persona/campaign he's spent the last week or two making with a pickaxe.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Never speak to Obama, they gave him that MKULTRA technology.

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

obama obama-prism The most dangerous man on Earth

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

He was flipping a coin like Two Face today to decide what to apologize for and "NYPD is racist" came up on the opposite face from "will arrest Netanyahu".

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Bold strategy to try and play every single side at once, let's see how it goes.

[–] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 months ago

He sure is trying.

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Mamdani is suprisingly good. I did not expect it from politics in 2025.
