This is getting out of hand. As if the attacks on Hasidic Jews weren't enough, a NJ official slandered Hasidic Jews.

Quote:
Trustee Joan Terrell-Paige posted on Facebook in the aftermath of the Dec. 10 kosher supermarket killings, referring to some Hasidic Jewish people in Jersey City as “brutes” who threatened to bring prostitutes and drug dealers to the neighborhood if African Americans didn’t sell their homes to Jews.

First, NJ is a blue state, so there's that.
Second, school officials and teachers are among the most liberal, so there's that.
And third, he should be fired from his job and never employed by the state of NJ again.


(But again....this is an example of what I've seen in recent days: Liberals who criticize Jews as a way of deflecting from the blacks murdering them.)

And yet, when someone says something similar about other ethnic groups they are fired. At least West Virginia fired those corrections officers that gave a Nazi salute. Seems as if NJ would embrace them.

Yes, and that's the form by which antisemitism takes place among Democrats. They are quick to step in and defend any minority against attack (blacks and Muslims top of the list), but Jews? Eh.

You guys enjoy your petty little turf war over these squalid, run-down little sh*t hole neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Jersey LOL.

But for the record I doubt they just made that up about the prostitutes and drug dealers, so there is that angle. That was not a very nice thing to say if true. Fightin' words maybe even.

Yeah, the Nazis never really had much of a beef with Jews LOL

Well if she has hard evidence that this kind of threat is made to homeowners then she is correct in calling it out. I’d want to know and I’m guess the Jewish community would want to put a stop to individuals who behave like brutes. However, keep quiet unless she can substantiate because that kind of talk is just inflammatory and IS antisemitic.
She might be more effective going to the leadership (rabbi) privately and having them deal with individuals with less drama.
I live in New Jersey and there’s a lot of interfaith coalitions and people in government and clergy who work hard to make sure everyone gets along and behaves appropriately.

The left has so much in common with the Nazis... Both despised the Jews, both want war with Russia, both are socialists, both are easily wooed and duped by "great orators"... Who the hell does the left think they are fooling? They have become the very thing they accuse Trump and his supporters of being!

It's a damn good thing the left has conservatives around in America to keep things sane. If lefties got their way, hundreds and thousands of Americans would be fighting for their lives in frozen hell Russia, fighting for Queen Hitlery and her conquest for all those who dare call into question her supreme authority.

She referred to some Hassidic as brutes as it relates to aggressive tactics being used to persuade locals to sell their homes to them.

Her remarks are mild compared to the video put out by the white Rockland County GOP for similar reasons.

A flourishing Jewish community is never one community. It’s hundreds of communities.

The Satmar dynasty are unique among the various Hassidic dynasties for strictest observation of more than 600 laws that govern every aspect of daily life down to the color of your socks and material used for eyeglass frames. They seek to live in physical isolation from the outside world. They reject modern culture and enforce strict gender segregation. No TV. No Smart phones. No internet. No movies.No secular newspapers.

Jewish law, as interpreted by the Satmar dynasty, is used to resolve disputes instead of civil courts. What happens within a Satmar community tends to stay within the community.

Yiddish is the primary language. Yiddish has a very limited, almost child- like vocabulary in that there are no words for most body parts or functions and behaviors which are not discussed. Your hip is a foot. Your knee is a foot. Your leg is a foot and a foot is a foot.

Marriages are arranged. Wedding dates are set by the rabbi to coincide with ovulation. 10-12 or more children is common. Expecting government financial support is common in the US and Israel.

The Satmar are fiercely anti- Zionist, very different than Modern Orthodox Jews. They do not recognize the Israeli state. One can appreciate the challenges or conflicts this presents to between Zionists and Hasidic people in Israel.

Satmar Education is viewed as lax by most US and Israeli standards and obsessively religiously oriented. A grown man is likely to think a condom is a type of housing.

It is not a particularly welcoming community to Jews outside of their dynasty, let alone secular Jews or non Jews.

Nothing indicates a partisan preference when it comes to voting blocks. . It comes down to what have you ( the local/ county/ state politician) done for us, lately.

Most people in the US have never encountered a Satmar dynasty Jew, let alone any Haredi Jews.

There are white and black people who harbor deep resentment for what is happening in their communities/ counties in NJ and N.Y. state. It is not necessarily the same thing as what some street thugs are doing in Brooklyn, which is not the same thing as the attacks on far more moderate synagogs and community centers in other parts of the country.

Using a broad brush to paint all Fill in the Blank says more about the painter than their targets.
