Again, this would have been arguably defensible if he had not presided over a mass wave of antisemitic violence in the months prior to the pandemic. As it is, it looks like he's trying to restart pogroms.

Pogroms? That’s a bit much. I’m all for the rights of people of any faith to congregate for worship. This is DeBlasio being a douche, but it’s nowhere close to a pogrom.

Of course we do. We're also keenly aware that the people who will hear his words are unlikely to care.

DeBlasio:
Pesky (((communities))) daring to practice their Constitutional right to freedom of assembly? Round 'em up!

DeBlasio's tweet is wrong, but funerals of thousands of people are much worse. This is the middle of a pandemic, where every mass gathering is an opportunity for the disease to spread and claim more lives. People need to stop being idiots and just social distance until a safe way out of lockdown is found (ideally a federal South Korean testing and tracing system is ramped up quickly to manage new outbreaks, and then a vaccine arrives asap).

It's easy to tweet a hostile tweet against a mass constituency that's irrevocably opposed to you.

Oh yeah I'm not excusing DeBlasio's tweet, the best case is he's an idiot and the worst case is pretty bad. But his tweet didn't kill anyone, mass gatherings right now do kill people.

If people use that as an excuse to attack jews, you'd be saying his tweet is killing people.

Oh wait, nevermind, de Blasio is a Dem, so it's acceptable now.

This was a declaration of war, not a poorly-stated tweet, and he wants everyone to know it.

Is this allowed, 6 people in a room? If so this seems really bad DeBlasio? You fycked up Corona now you're going to target jewish communities in an antisemitic manner, real sh**t mayor.

Non-essential gatherings of all sizes are banned by Gov. Cuomo.

20+ scholars gathering indoors are an illegal gathering, even if they try to stay 6 feet apart from each other.

I do that quoting thing too, but would you mind putting the new text in bold or italics or something so my name isn’t associated with that sentiment? Thanks

This is getting out of control. They're going to end up Waco'ing people if we stay on this path.

Shouldn’t you be off tying your red laces or something?

I mean, De Blasio’s not the one who called a murderous pack of literal Nazis “very fine people.”

He also announced today that New York is several months away from opening, a claim not backed up by anyone else and one that isn't really his decision to make.

Gee, it's a good thing that the panic this comment will cause isn't likely to be taken out on any specific group...

Jews were put on notice by the Mayor of New York, and we weren't the only ones who noticed.

I'm paralyzed with indecision about how to react to this. On the one hand, I hate De Blasio and all politicians like him who gleefully enforce stay-at-home orders just to feel powerful. On the other hand, I have zero patience for religious groups that risk creating new outbreaks just so they can get together and worship, and play identity politics games when they're called out.

Oh no someone ripped their masks off. Crime of the century! It's another pogrom!

The fact that you haven't been banned yet is genuinely inexplicable.

It's really all about context. Yes, the conduct of many ultra-religious hasidic sects is causing a massive problem. But NYC has been a hotbed for a wave of antisemitism in the last year, with hundreds of attacks that escalated into two fatal terror attacks in surrounding areas. De Blasio essentially gave license for that to heat up again, and his language made sure it would be spread out across all visible Jews.

Man, do you use the AS word on everyone who dare hold Jewish people accountable by the law like everyone else? How pathetic!

Everyone else is required to abide by social distancing, but it appears Jews are exempt.

It's pretty sick, I've seen a video or two of the NYPD assaulting black and hispanic people for being gathered in a group of four or five, but hordes of Hasidim can stampede down the street for a rabbi's funeral and nothing is done.

Thousands of people congregating yet no arrests were made at all. There is a clear and obvious double standard at work here and it's high time more New Yorkers called it out.
