        The amount of people that voted for Trump is actually under a third of the elligable voting population.

          So even fewer were directly opposed to him on the single most important day in your electoral calendar? That’s an even stronger indictment.

    The article states that only 24 percent think he SHOULD NOT be arrested, which the title does not imply.

    Even less percent believe Israel did NOT commit war crimes.

    Of course this does not mirror the public sentiments of most of Americas elected officials.

      Agreed, the US justice system was made to control the rabble. Its not at all functional when it comes to holding the powerful accountable. Arresting Netenyahu is pointless-- it will just lead to his immediate release.

    Netanyahu literally showed up in congress and then berated the US government for not shoving more money into his genocide.

    If that isn’t a sign of a compromised government, I don’t know what is lol.

    Imagine if Xi Jinping suddenly pulled up to the senate as if he has any position in the US government.

      I think most people are confused about who Netanyahu is, I keep seeing him incorrectly described as the president of Israel when he’s actually the prime minister of Israel. The president of Israel is Isaac Herzog

        Enlighten me, what’s the Prime minister do then? Is that like a Catholic role (being minister?)? We don’t have that in the US, but I know Canada and parts of Europe have them. I guess I’ve just never really paid attention to the role.

    He should be arrested, yes, but not by America. They’re in cahoots with him.
