@rosnersdomain The second paragraph contradicts your generalized paragraph before that. BTW, there is no data that lack of rule following is an Orthodox Jewish problem or that OJs have worse infection rates. If Richard Spencer made such claims on all Jews, you would pounce.

More garbage, @rosnersdomain. You claim “Ultra-Orthodox Jews tend to be poor by design. They prioritize study over work.” Employment rates among men (in Hasidic-populated Kiryas Joel) is quite close to that of NY overall as seen from the chart which is based on Census surveys.

@rosnersdomain Per Pew, a larger portion of Haredi households in the US earn above $100K a year than the genera population, so (Orthodox) Jews can’t win. If they earn well, antisemites pounce that “Jews have money.” If Orthodox earn less, bigots pounce.

Att @Yair_Rosenberg

“Haredi neighborhoods... tend to be less than hospitable to outsiders, and as the neighborhoods expand, clashes with neighbors are common.” Bigots attack Orthodox Jews when they “overdevelop” in existing towns but also when Orthodox expand out. How is this the Orthodox’s fault?

“In Jerusalem and NY, where these Jews live in great and fast-growing numbers, a puzzled public begins to feel these communities have become too independent.”

@rosnersdomain Bigoted, disinformation articles like yours may fuel how people feel about “these Jews.”

.@rosnersdomain writes “Haredi Jews have large families & live in densely populated areas. This enhances their model of togetherness and separateness.” This suggests that Orthodox Jews are causing COVID-19 problems by their way of life when large families and living in densely👇🏼

populated areas is not exclusive to Jews and Coronavirus hit the globe no matter how people live. Many rural counties in NY have now worse COVID-19 death rates than the counties with large Orthodox Jewish populations and Cuomo red zones. See video.

Here again @rosnersdomain is generalizing Orthodox Jews; a thing that NYT editors would not let Duke/Spencer do to Jews nor would they permit it to be done on Muslims, Latinos or African Americans. For months, all schools and almost all Shuls in Haredi NY were shut.

“So it is not surprising that a sudden demand to change their community’s behavior was met by many Haredi Jews — and, notably, by many important Haredi leaders — with suspicion and open revolt.” @rosnersdomain oppo to lockdowns is seen in every country by all type of people.

Rosner claims Orthodox Jews don’t follow rules and claims “no wonder that the rate of infections in ultra-Orthodox communities has skyrocketed.” Whole countries, states and counties with no Orthodox Jews in them have now higher infection rates than in Orthodox Red Zones!

Again @rosnersdomain generalizes Jews! Isolated incidents don’t count as proof; especially when people of all walks of life have concerns about lockdowns. BLM rallies with no distancing is not Jewish-driven and the 100s of bars fined by Cuomo in the summer are not Jewish-owned.

Deep into a article of singling out Haredim in generalized terms for issues seen accross the globe and doing so without data and at times when facts disprove his claims, Rosner writes “it is also reasonable to assume that in some cases Haredi Jews are being singled out.”

“It’is time for Haredi leaders to realize that their model of isolation from the larger public is becoming archaic,” says @rosnersdomain. Haredim live, travel, work, vote and shop among the masses. What’s “isolation” in this context? More Orthodox need to go to clubs and shows?

Again Rosner frames a global pandemic as being driven by Orthodox Jews despite the fact that this pandemic has spread in countries and US states with few-to-no Orthodox Jews; mostly with worse outcomes than among Jews. NYT does let you call it a “China” virus but this IS ok?

Rosner claims Haredi Jews are “not truly that powerful.” Who - except for bigots - claims that Jews are powerful? He also writes “not if the world turns against them.” No reason for the world “to turn on” Orthodox Jews except for inflammatory articles like Rosner’s driving hate.

The above bigoted, generalized, lack of facts, singling out of “Ultra” Orthodox Jews article ends as attached. The author who is Jewish smeared Orthodox Jews the way he did - and in a way that the NYT would correctly not permit Brigitte Gabriel do to Muslins - out of love...

.@rosnersdomain 46 zip codes in NYC have worse Coronavirus death rates since the start of the pandemic than Borough Park; the zip code with the largest community of Haredi Jews in NYC. Many other zips with Haredi populations (Crown Heights and Williamsburg) have better numbers

.@rosnersdomain Basically, the premise of your article (that Haredim have worse Coronavirus numbers and by their own fault) is false. The worst death rate by ethnicity in NYC is among Latinos. Did the NYT run an op-ed blaming and generalizing Latinos the way you did to Haredim?
