Mayor de Blasio of New York City recently tweeted what has become a controversial tweet. After hearing of a large gathering of Chasidic Jews in Brooklyn attending a funeral for a well known neighborhood rabbi, de Blasio tweeted: "My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed. I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups."
While I don't think de Blasio is an anti-Semite, nonetheless, I would wager my last subway token that he would never publicly tweet against the Muslim, Hispanic, or black community in the general terms he did just now regarding the Jewish community. He was wrong to extrapolate regarding the entire Jewish community based on something done by a subset — namely, the Chasidim of Brooklyn's Williamsburg and Boro Park sections. He should have confined his remarks to them, not the 95% of the Jewish community that is not Chasidic and never will be. The "sensitive," virtue-signaling mayor, like so many in the "progressive" community, confines his virtuousness to the preferred minorities that make up the intersectionality menu.
While too many Democrat governors and mayors are overstepping their bounds and, in authoritarian fashion, prohibiting citizens from practicing their basic constitutional rights of freedom of assembly, speech, and religion, as well as the right and need to make a living, practices such as social distancing used to stem the spread of the corona virus are correct and reasonable.

Hard to reconcile.

de Blasio is as power-mad as Castro, Edi Amin, Hitler, and many state and local politicians here in America. He thinks he’s 10 ft. tall and bulletproof!
The bigger they are the harder they fall. This will not hold true because new yorker’s are opportunistic selfish fools “as long as I get mine”. All on the take for what ever they can get. As long as he and cuomo keep the masses happy with free bees and kind caring gestures like parades and fell good celebrations of individuals and groups coupled with more free programs with the corona virus label on it they will be adored and voted in again. They have conquered their thiefdom. As far as they can see thier rights and freedoms comes from their politicians in control and they seem comfortable with this
And he didnt even deliver them halal meals to celebrate ramadan....
To quote Rabbi Spero....”While I don’t think de Blasio is an anti-Semite...” So what does it take Rabbi Spero, to open your eyes,a concentration camp?
The democrats party appears to me to be the Nazis they always rail against.
Have no fear. I read the whole story. That one line is a bit out of context.
Actually, Rabbi Spero does a pretty decent job trashing both de Blasio and Cuomo. It was a pleasure to read.
Leftist ‘Jews’ are Jews in name only. Most are atheist and their religion is Marxism.
According to his book, back when Frank Serpico was learning how to be a cop he was taught when making an arrest, ANY arrest, to KNOW the law that justifies or allows the arrest. Do cops care anymore? What law applies here?
