NEW YORK (VINnews) — Dear Mayor De Blasio,
Join our WhatsApp groupSubscribe to our Daily Roundup Email
“Jews, We will come down hard on you. Everyone Else? Well, just protest peacefully. Oh and Police? Go easy on them – just a light touch.”
Although these weren’t your exact words, this was essentially what you said.
You began, “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. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.”
And then, on Friday, you ignore those who are gathering in large groups. You ignore those who who don’t wear masks. What do you do? You cheer them on.
You said, “To everyone protesting and expressing that anger and pain, please remember how important it is to protest peacefully. Please remember that we’re in the middle of a pandemic. We have to do all we can to protect each other. Everyone out there has a responsibility.”
No mention of the various prohibition of gathering and such. No mention of instructions to the police to proceed immediately.
Social distancing? – Only for Jews.
Summons and tickets? Only for Jews.
Arrest those who gather in large groups? Only for Jews.
Enough is enough!! You are applying different standards, double standards, in fact. And the hypocrisy is glaring.
Tickets, fines and wholesale arrests to those who gather to pray, attend a wedding or pay respects at a funeral. And yet for those that are gathering to throw bricks at police officers, to loot stores and to engage in wanton violence – that’s okay. They can gather all they want.
I am not saying that it is okay to gather. It is not. But at least, dear mayor, show us that you do not look at us like garbage. At the very least, apologize. Issue a statement saying that you regret your strong words and attitude to how you have dealt and spoken with some parts of the Jewish community. And that you hope to rectify it. Until you do that, it is hard to see how you are not being a hypocrite.
Please do so now.
Sincerely,
Jacob Harris
This letter only strengthens his arrogance.They are certain objects in this world that you just can’t change
Micheal great point except he was doing the same a month ago
Only religious observance bothered him
Remember his walks in prospect park
Joe you r wrong. It’s time to vote ALL democrats out of office.
The states with highest disease Levels are run by democrats.
And continues today as well
Leon goldenberg told us that de bozo would be a great friend. Trust aguda at your own peril.
Only religious observance bothered Deblazio.. the fact is that so called rabbis from supposedly orthodox synagogues allow swimming but NO PRAYERS.. NO MIYAN… Florida who had very few deaths is the target by these self hating Orthodox Rabbis.. what a shame
This letter is a distortion of reality. The mayor is 100% correct to clamp down on violators of social gathering bans. Look at what is happening now in Israel with the upsurge in infection. There should be zero tolerance for large funerals.
The mayor is also trying to get riots and protests under control. His comments are an attempt at easing tensions instead of enflaming them.
Falsely contrasting apples and oranges only enflames tensions and benefits no one.
It is the same NYC as a month ago. The risks seem greater now. While a month ago he had his NYC driver transport him to the park I now discovered that NYC has closed off all car parking at my closest park. This indicate that the concerns are still there.
The demonstrators are risking tipping us back into the epidemic yet not one word is uttered by NYC.
What a most beautiful threatening letter from a ‘Goolis’ Jew to the Mayor of a rare Malchis shel Chesed Medinah/City. (HUD, Food Stamps etc)
The Rebbeh ZYO would be extremely proud of you keeping up the ‘Shoolesh Shveeis’ especially the one about not to be ‘Misgooreh with the Imous’.
Hu xi is a hypocrite.
Mayor calling for LIGHT touch against rioters to ease tensions.
Calling for full crackdown against Jews, not giving a rat’s behind about easing tensions.
Obviously, you doesn’t own a store.
So what do you care?
Dear Jacob,
Your points are well taken.
Having said, if De Blasio would get pressure from black community activist to
come down hard on the rioters he would do it in an instant.
De Blasio had enormous pressure from well know Jewish informers who are Frum looking to come down hard on the Minyonim etc. They were chasing and taunting the mayor how come he does not do anything to the Frum Yidden.
The Frum community had anything and everything from the mayor up until this informers started to taunt him about the Minyonim.
Jacob,We, by not chasing out these Mosrim from within our community like another Kehila in Israel did are at fault what De Blasio did to us.
Sincerely,
Tens of Thousands of Frum Yidden in NY.
Thank you sooooo much Mayor Deblasio for being a clear Shaliach from Hashem and reminding me of the Halacha עשו שונא ליעקב.
Living in NY so long and getting along with most Goyim, gave me and my family a false sense of security. I learned in Yeshiva about how when things got tough in Germany a leader by the name of Adolf Hitler scapegoated the Jews and fanned the flames of Antisemitisim so much, that he convinced the Goyim in his country to murder 6,000,000 Jews. Of course that destroyed Germany as well.
I always wondered why more Jews didn’t leave when his anti semitic rant started, and it seems like unfortunately most Jews thought it would blow over which of course it did not.
In my comfort and naivety I never thought the leader of my city in NY America can fan the flames of Antisemitism so openly and brazenly and not even apologize when confronted about it.
Thanks to you and the response to your message, I see clearly what the Goyims real sentiment is. In order to protect my family and their future, plus be part of Jewish Destiny, I will be making Aliyah and going to the only Jewish country Israel, given to our people by Hashem, immediately this summer of 2020 while I still can.
When Moshiach is revealed there soon God willing, I will bring a Korban Todah in the 3rd Temple to thank Hashem for surviving the destruction of NY and sending you Mayor Deblasio as the Shaliach and warning call to wake me up out of my delusional trance to run and save my family’s lives. I may even name the Animal *Bill* after you before the Kohein slaughter’s it.
Thank you again Mayor
Am Yisrael Chai!
NEVER AGAIN!!!
S.D.W.
well said chow mein (:. hu xi u should rethink your comments before u hit the send button
The Mosrim saved 100s Jewish lives from the so called Frumme who went against Rabbonim, Askanim, Frumme Doctors, Hatzolah Instructions etc for nothing but personal gains. Every Rabbinical Court in the USA forbid it. Not a single Bet Din approved this Minyanim. Some people spread rumors that some Rabbis did Ok it . We did not see a single Rabbi with a signature.
People who report illegal minyanim don’t save lives. All they do is create antisemitism.
Almost every FRUM Rav,Rebbe Davend with Minyan.
Many many FRUM shulls stayed open the entire time with the guidelines.
Minyonim don’t kill. Not following the guidelines might kill.
Where is the story on the democrat party supported anti Israel Jew hating terrorists who vandalised then burned a conservative synagogue in LA.
Democrats are the party of anti Israel Jew haters.
He hates jews cause he’s jealous he sees our success and devotion to god and cant stand it he will get punished yesh baal habiyis lbiirah zu
everyone stay calm,there is no way the mayor is reading this letter.So who cares what every bozo writes to the mayor??
DeBozo like he always does is blaming Trump for the actions of leftist democrat rioters just liek he blames Trump for attacks by leftist democrats on Jews throughout his tenure. Vote the criminal loving anti Israel Jew hating/supporter of Jew haters democrats all out of office.
Maven baby,
You sound like you’re getting nervous.
Yeah, this is yet another signal , yet you’re ranting bs against Meir Kahane who predicted this.
Maven baby, they’re looting the luggage stores, yoyull have norhing to pack in.
Your time is up, Maven baby.
Off to Zion you’ll be scrambling.
Ya think ya have enough time ??
Maven baby, your pathetic lies don’t cut it anymore.
Can’t hear the whisper__ Juden Raus ? Or are ya too busy ranting and yelling?
Seriously_ Is this Maven a kapo the offspring of 1936 kapos who told my family the exact same lies , or is he a paid agent or is he just a blind hater?
The synagogue arson yesterday is not just an event , it’s a message.
Say Maven , are you a believer ? Or a kapo thug ? Which one ?
Actually, he’s one if the Spies.
Although he has neither their scholarship nor intelligence to be able to convince.
The Mavens of this world are goons’ tools , and eventually, fools.
Aliyah applications are up worldwide..
You stay here, train to be a Jewish tour guide showing off once vibrant Jewish neighborhoods and synagogues.
Stay here with mommy.
You’ll be the first one running. Your cohorts have done it before. Same ole , same ole. Bring an updated passport, runner.
This is what the evil Democrat party of do- nothing fake impeachment America haters have wrought.
They want covid deaths, economic collapse , and bloody riots.
And it’s good for Jews??
Let’s not get carried away. There is no holocaust happening in America. The more religious Jews become and the more the reform die out the less chance for a holocaust.
Lol, Maven_ you lost your bet !!!
You fell right in. As a rav gave once psha,. Umipnei chataeinu galeinu , was the destruction of Beis Hamikdash and gulis.
VENISRACHAKNU __ is US.
WE furthered ourselves away from Eretz yisroel. Otherwise, the posuk is redundant.
Thanks, buddy. You just made my day.
Who says it has to be a Holocaust ??
There’s something in between too.
You swine Maven:
What guarantee do you have that your miserable life will not be in danger even this evening? BIG SHOT. APIKORUS .
Who taught you this language ?
Name your rabbi who told you to puke like this.
Watch your mouth mr. Maven.
You’re in danger territory for yourself and your family
Yet inzereh shoyta tipshim in NY will keep voting democrat. you reap what you sow.
Jacob Harris wrote a fantastic straight to point letter . Thankyou Jacob ! . As far as the Mosrim are concerned , they should someday pay the price . As far as Maven is concerned , he should change his name to Graven . As far as the rest of us are concerned , WE must get rid of all the freaking Idiot DEMOCRATS from this otherwise great country !!!!
Maven has a point. My wife is thinking now of moving to Israel. It could be the end of America as we know it. It does it mean Israel is safer but if enough religious Jews move there we could run it our way.
Deblasio’s rating is going down worse than the previous mayor David dinkins
Time for Rudy again in NY!! Can we get him here again?
The only solution that we Torah observant Jews have is to pray to Hashem to send Moshicah quickly and he will take us out of Golus to the holy land ERETZ YISROEL.
Nationalistic Jews with their twisted right wing Zionist ideology should leave now to the so called Jewish state of ISRAEL. And if they are stupid enough not caring about their lives let them go live in the dangerous territories among blood thirsty Arabs.
We true Torah Jews see a quickening of the geulah in beautiful Israel. The Almighty sent Trump to Judaize Jerusalem and Golan Hts and for more annexation BE”H. Your are living here without a G-D as per our chazal.
Repent before the Big Day. You only have moments.
Moshiach is not coming to your neighborhood to pick you up. Lolol.
Deblasio is living with a nb so it is not surprising that is how the issue has turned out.
we might as well vote in deblasios daughter
