Usually, Jewish outreach has a different connotation.

Bloomberg hates frum jews m. He was caught on take mocking us and openly fought us on metziza bpheh. Yingel Will make a silly argument that hey we all endorsed him for mayor. But hey firstly we had no choice. We had to kiss up to him bec we knew he’d win. Secondly and most importantly, he was smart and cheperred us most in his 3rd term when you knew he won’t run any more

Bloomberg is a narcissist and a phony. I have to laugh that he is suddenly discovering his Jewish roots, when it suits him politically. He didn’t have any rachmonos to the Chassidim in Boro Park, in 2006, when New York’s “finest’, beat and shoved the residents, including pulling the beard out of a frum Jew, and using other heavy handed tactics, including shoving women, and innocent pedestrians. He didn’t even come to the scene of the disorders. In the past, there was another Mayor who did just that, but not this little weasel and snake!

There are serious questions if Bloomberg is Halachicly Jewish. There are people who claim Mike was adopted as an infant and his real Mother was not a Jew. Does anyone have more information?

“We all endorsed him for mayor” and B’H he delivered. We lived in Peace for 12 years with much less anti-Semitic attacks than the last 3 months under Trump. Bloomberg or Bernie 2020.

Gloomberg/doomberg is such a traitor to all Jews attacked within the Jew-hating, Israel-hating, America-hating, Trump-hating Demorat Party. Where was this Putz, when Farrakhan called Jews ‘termites’ or the attacks from the ‘4 squats’ or the vote by Pelosi to divide Jerusalem, Jewish for 3000 yrs and Israel occupied by Jews for 5000 yrs. and given by G-d and millions were murdered for and we’re supposed to give it all up for a phony ‘peace’ and negotiate with the very Arabs aligned with Hitler to ‘kill all Jews’, deny the Holocaust they participated in and want to finish the job, with all the hate they have to ‘kill all infidels’. Bloomy is the disgrace and is there to stop Trump. If Gloomy had any integrity, he’d speak about the ‘illegal’, ‘Immoral’ and ‘political coup’ and ‘impeachment farce’. Worth $52 billions and still no class and still a putz. Shalom International has done 138 rallies for Trump and over 1100 media in the last four years. The latest at Super Bowl event in Downtown Miami. Trump recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol and putting U.S. Embassy there is one of the most radical and important moves in Jewish history. Bloomy doesn’t have Israel’s back except to put a knife in it and cater to the very forces screaming ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’. Wake up Jews, this isn’t about how large a soda container you can have.
