New York Mayor Bill de Blasio says nary a tweet or a word about thousands of demonstrators breaking social distancing rules or not wearing masks as they protest.

But de Blasio is not so generous with the NYC’s Jewish community. City officials recently had a park in a Jewish area of New York City locked shut.
The Blaze writes:
The incident was the latest in a series of troubling examples of a double standard against the Jewish community while others are praised while ignoring social distancing guidelines.
Many on social media blamed Mayor de Blasio and demanded that the park reopen. Critics pointed to the lack of criticism for the many Black Lives Matter protests where participants ignored social distancing guidelines.
Noticing the double standard, several Orthodox Jews cut the gates open.

And oh yeah, de Blasio threatened to “permanently” shut synagogues if they did not bend the knee to the mayor: READ: De Blasio threatens to permanently close places of worship that resist shutdown order
End the lock downs for everyone.
