Bill De Blasio tweets subtle anti-semitic message

Yeah, this was a very very poor way to state what I assume he meant (that the Hasidic community needs to not congregate in large groups which they have evidently continued to do despite the ban, and that this isn't something meant to specifically target Hasidic Jews as it applies to everyone in the city and this is a matter of life and death for everyone, and that the NYPD will take action to break up such groups.)

Noted Republican Jerry Nadler speaks out against BDB's attempt to incite pogroms.

The way I see it calling out a whole ethnic group (as opposed to the specific organization/group doing something "bad") is the issue. It would be like a politician telling all African-Americans they to work to stop an outbreak of gang violence or saying all Italian-Americans need to work to stop a Mafia War. Of course that would piss off members of an ethnic group/race/religion that aren't involved with whatever is being addressed, whether it be gang violence or congregating in large groups during a pandemic.
