Opinion: I have a feeling Trump wanted to respond to Deblasio but was probably advised it would give it visibility to 70m plus tweeters etc. those 2 hate each other & its a bit personal for Trump too

He said in the Tweet just before that he was referring to what happened in Willi
That means his tweet was even more accurate. He hears reports of a large Jewish gathering again and checks it out for himself. It turns out to be true.

Please quote all of @Chapshnell's other comments on this forum where you can feel his exasperation through the screen at the gatherings and rule breaking. The thing I can say for him is that he actually puts himself out there in real life trying to help and make a difference. He's not just screaming and banging his keyboard on DDF. And I only know him from a handful of text messages, I'm sure he does far more than I know of.

1 million percent!!! I'm sorry @Chapshnell for highlighting your comment, it was just the most convenient example to illustrate my point. I'm not mad at individuals, just the general sense of complacency we've come to, where we're just ok with not being ok with it.

What good can possibly come out of singling out a religion? It was so dumb to tweet that!
Cuomo mentioned a while back “if people dont stop playing basketball in the parks were going to close it down”. He was speaking “in general terms”. Thats the way to do it! Cmon

Who said it wasn't true?

A couple hundred Jews (out of more than 1MM jews in NYC) were idiots.
What if it was a couple hundred Hispanics? Muslims? Blacks? Would he make the same Tweet? Would you consider that Tweet to be racist?

One issue is anti-Semitism and another is lives being lost because of behavior in some cases. Both issues should be able to be addressed without going after each other. You all care deeply about both.

No one is ok with the funeral. But we're content with just not being ok with it. Meanwhile, the least respected mayor in the US makes a stupid anti-Semitic generalization, and Himmel Geshrai!

There's no way to justify the tweet, it's anti-semitic. And the double standard is sickening.
There's no way to justify the crowds, it's anti-torah. We need to do better.

I dont think deblasio is an anti semite. I think hes dumb. He didnt think.
Having said that, his policies in office have been brutal to NYC residents.
I left NYC because it became unbearable

My issue is with the prioritization of those issues.

Im not content with it, but I also understand perfection or close to it doesnt exist. You have crazies out there who just dont care. In every community

The forums are packed comments of people telling about such funerals.

Unblock some people and you'll be busy for months. By then we'll be done with each other and it'll be business as usual.

I get that. You can make them both priorities without diminishing the importance of either one.

Instead of all these chachumim we have as our spokespeople that nobody hired/vetted... pointing out the bigotry of the mayor and kvetching about other ppl watching jets—-
They should offer an apology on behalf of the idiots who came in droves and say “We are very sorry that there are some rotten selfish people in our community that don’t listen to the guidelines. We want to inform you that the overwhelming majority of Jewish people take this crisis very seriously and adhere to the utmost degree possible”

What do you think happens to the average goy when he sees our “spokespeople” give the wrong msg?!? You think it combats AS??? It only exacerbates it!!!

@Lurker, I'll borrow some perspective from you, to give you some perspective now.
I hate that it's happening, but to give it some perspective: Yud Aleph Nissan and people are going to the Ohel. Can you imagine Gimmel Tammuz Nun Daled during a time like this? There'd be no talking to anybody. Let it take me with my Rebbe.
and
God forbid this would happen with one of the grand rebbis, when people are all for giving their rebbis the last respect at all costs, you wouldn't have to whom to talk.
Couple that with these sentiments on the ground,
Ask any one of them and everyone I know in BP they will innocently tell you that it is over. Everyone had it. This is what I have been hearing all day long for a few days. They just dont have access to real info. When shomrei hadas chapel says publicly theyre back to normal amount of levayas what do you expect?!?!
And exactly that happened today in Williamsburg.

Don't think this is justification, but giving perspective is key to understand the incomprehensible. Hope this helps.
