NYPOST.com (http://bit.ly/1Q8myuu) reports that, speaking before Orthodox worshippers at Congregation Shaare Zion in Brooklyn, de Blasio said, “I know this community understands deeply the pain of any family that must leave a homeland they love because they were forced away by violence and discrimination.”
“When it comes to saving children and families from one of the greatest crises of our times, I remind people to look at history,” de Blasio stated.
Not everyone in attendance, however, agreed with the mayor—including Brooklyn resident Judy Zarug.
“I don’t think it’s a fair comparison . . . The Jews never had a history of being destructive,” Zarug said.
Yup. Great comparison. What a buffoon DeBlasio is. As my friend Nathan predicted, NY will become like every other big city because the minority voters will always vote for the candidate who promises the most freebies.
Didn’t know that the Jews escaping the Nazi’s were looking for welfare benefits and that some of them were terrorists looking to kill and destroy the citizens of the country they were going to.I must have missed something in history.
Sorry Mayor you got it wrong again but that’s not news
The Jew’s that were escaping did not want to do any harm to Americans
Is this the reason they are coming here REALLY?????Is that also the reason they kill innocent people,because they are running away from the nazi?You Idiot De Blasio
How ignorant and disgusting is that foolish trash that is called a Mayor. He should be tar & feathered and sent home to his wife. There are just no words to describe how dumb this two legged creature is.
Did Syrian Jews immigrate for better economic opportunities or flee Syrian persecution against them?
Except that jews were business people, lawyers, doctors and educators. Not suicidal terroristic killing murderers.
Well, there’s one kinda big difference there.
Jews fleeing Naziism didn’t have some within the group who were intending to commit terrorist acts in the countries they were fleeing to.
Clearly the brain of this Mayor has ceased functioning. Seems some Muslim had his brain removed -or just never had a functioning brain.
What a retarded comparison. The Syrian Jews were successful law abiding citizens who were discriminated against only because of religion. Any country they went into only had what to gain by tbeir amazing business accumen. What can these Syrian degenerates offer society? Except maybe a few more suicide bombers
.. feh
Is the esteemed mayor so ignorant of American History that he doesn’t know that the U.S,. authorities during the World war II era joined the rest of the civilized world in refusing to allow Jewish refugees to gain entrance to their country? The hapless Jews attempting to escape Nazi tyranny were accused of actually being Nazi collaborators despite the fact that American Jews have always given their all in support of America and its values.
No Arab countries are showing any sympathy towards their coreligionists. Why should the U.S. show more mercy to the Syrians than their brethren do? What positive contribution to America have Syrian Muslims ever made to American society?
As long as Yidden continue to back these liberal, socialist, communists, we will continue to have morons like Obama, DeBlasio and Clinton as elected leaders. Jew from wherever they have immigrated to whatever country, Jews have been productive, law abiding (for the vast majority) citizens willing to contribute to society. We are not terrorists intent on destroying social values or killing people.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
I think he was misquoted. What he meant to say is that the fleeing Syrians are analogous to Nazis fleeing Germany after the Holocaust.
What do these liberals do with the fact that 10% of the kids coming will be radicalized before they’re 20? And 10,000 today is 100,000 in twenty years, and so on. And what is comrade DeBlasio doing about the mosques that are radicalizing these kids? In Paris they closed down four last week. Wanna guess how many were closed down in the USA? Hint, it’s one digit and starts with zero
which of the jews from ww2 were terrorists etc? did they have bombs? did they try to kill people?
theres no comparison please!
There are so many Arab and Muslim countries to accept these people but for the jews there was no where to go.
Keep the terrorists out!
I can’t stand diblasio!!!! I’m ashamed that the shul even let him enter to speak!
