Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew over Greece, Italy, France and Canada on Thursday on his way to address the UN, despite an International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023.

Netanyahu arrived in the US for a short visit to address the UN General Assembly in New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he does not have the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.

      Oh so not 50k? So you were lying then.

      And we both know damn well that 77k is the number of positively identified direct fatalities (not causalities, as you tried to lie) caused by Israeli munitions, it doesn’t include deaths from indirect causes resulting from the complete destruction of civil infrastructure or deaths that couldn’t be confirmed because the bodies were buried beneath bubble or couldn’t be positively identified by what remains of the Palestinian medical system after it’s systematic destruction by Israel. Meanwhile the number you’re citing for Afghanistan is total excess mortality from all secondary effects.

      But again, you know that, and you’re being dishonest on purpose because you support the genocide going on in Gaza.
