OPINION:
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio ordered welders to lock down the gates to a popular park used by Orthodox Jewish children.
In response, local leaders showed up with giant bolt cutters and reopened the public park for the local youngsters.
Tens of thousands of people are allowed to march in the streets to support Black Lives Matter and transgender folks, but a handful of Jewish children are not permitted to play in a park.
In April De Blasio personally instructed police officers to disrupt a Jewish funeral and he sent notices to synagogues that if they violated stay-at-home orders, their worship centers would be permanently closed.
I don’t know whether or no De Blasio is an anti-Semite, but I do know that he his behaving like one.
Yes. This is actually happening now!
