Democrats do not seem to really have an issue singling out Jews in America anymore, do they?
Democratic New York City Major Bill de Blasio faced a fierce online backlash after he singled out Jews in a message warning everyone against large gatherings during the pandemic.
De Blasio tweeted out his warning on Tuesday against those not observing the social distancing guidelines in order to stop the spread of the coronavirus. He was referring to a specific gathering for a funeral of a rabbi that the police dispersed in Williamsberg.
“My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed,” he tweeted.
“I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period,” he added.
“We have lost so many these last two months [and] I understand the instinct to gather to mourn. But large gatherings will only lead to more deaths [and] more families in mourning. We will not allow this. I have instructed the NYPD to have one standard for this whole city: zero tolerance,” de Blasio continued.
Not surprisingly, Comrade Bill was blasted
“I can’t imagine de Blasio saying this about any other community,” said Ben Shapiro. “It’s pretty amazing. And for the record, MANY of the leaders of the Jewish community have taken strong stands on social distancing.
“NYC has been a refuge for Jews fleeing persecution and death for decades and more. How on earth does the mayor of NYC single them out for persecution in the middle of a pandemic? Words do not exist to describe the criminal incompetence at City Hall,” said Lis Smith, the former senior advisor to Pete Buttigieg.
Yeah, let’s see Bill single out Blacks or Muslims. He won’t. It’s easy to go after Jews. The Democratic Party hatred of Israel morphed into hatred of Jews. When do Jews realize this and stop voting Democrat?
Also Comrade Bill
Something absolutely unacceptable happened in Williamsburg tonite: a large funeral gathering in the middle of this pandemic. When I heard, I went there myself to ensure the crowd was dispersed. And what I saw WILL NOT be tolerated so long as we are fighting the Coronavirus

Why didn’t Bill #StayHome? These are both linked, as the gathering for the funeral involved a large group Orthodox Jews, which led to his tweet on “the Jewish community”. While it certainly puts it all in context, why only call out Jews?
