Disturbing incident the last hour on a @FlyFrontier flight as staff told a Hasidic couple to get off because their 18 month old had no mask. Applause is heard as the couple started leaving. Travels say on camera that the applause came from staff who also cheered that “we did it.”
An Orthodox Jewish person spoke up in defense of the Hasidic couple. Then the whole family siblings and in-laws started leaving the plane at which point the @FlyFrontier ordered everyone off of the airplane.
EYEWITNESS VIDEO! Multiple people say on the record in this video that as the Hasidic couple started leaving the airplane, @FlyFrontier staff applauded, exchanged high fives and one allegedly said “a job well done to those Jews.” Att @PeteButtigieg @FAANews @SenatorCantwell
.@FlyFrontier’s own website says that children under the age of 2 don’t need masks. But even if this was an incident of violating mask rules, the alleged bigoted behavior from the staff as claimsd in the video above is not acceptable! Att @PeteButtigieg @GovRonDeSantis Image
UPDATE! The @FlyFrontier flight was supposed to leave Miami tonight at 7:00 to LGA. The couple and extended family who suffered at the hands of the airplane staff will return on a different carrier. (Frontier and its parent Indigo Partners will be contacted for follow up steps.)
MORE VIDEO! Another passenger who was not part of the travel group and not in the same ethnic group as the victimized travelers is alleging that “they are saying some nasty things... I heard some nasty things being said.... They (@FlyFrontier staff) are making it worse.”
The airline says that a “large group” refused to wear masks. Some people in that “group” are not even family related. They are grouped together as Hasidim. @FlyFrontier’s tweet also fails to address the allegations made by passengers about the staff’s tone (see the videos above). Image

Rockland. - South Nyack residents voted yesterday to dissolve their 142-year old village in Orangetown in response to a Hasidic Yeshiva buying the Nyack College property. The village has 1,982 registered voters per @LoHudLegal and 800 voted in a split of 508 vs. 292.
Many villages in Rockland - such as Airmont - were created decades ago to keep Orthodox Jews out. This village is being dissolved due to a Hasidic Yeshiva buying a property and potentially having enough votes among staff and students to swing village elections.
When Orthodox Jews in suburban NY and NJ “overdevelop” in areas largelgy populated by Orthodox Jews, some oppose it. But when Orthodox Jews want to move into new neighborhoods - rather than overdevelop in existing ones - it is opposed by many of the same people.

.@LKendallDye For a more recent op ed in the NYT that is nasty to Jews, see @rosnersdomain’s latest. Your headline slams “NYC Jews” (all 1.2 million+) for a localized issue. Clean up your own bigotry before lecturing others on this topic.
.@LKendallDye We can perhaps sponsor for you to live one month in one of the hotels now occupied by homeless people where you can blog daily about the great experiences there. It will be a real Tikun Olam as the public will understand the plight of the homeless population.
.@LKendallDye If the cost is reasonable, we can also sponser the cost of the NYDN editor that approved your op-ed. Imagine the unique perspective that you will both bring to the public. @NYCMayor Please arrange separate rooms for the two and rooms where one bed is already in use.

@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.

VIDEO! Three weeks into @NYGovCuomo’s Red Zones and the sad results are in.

#OJPACData
Below is the NYT link for the data in the video. Numbers are updated daily. In the chart in the video (updated Oct 27th), 12 counties had worse death rates than the downstate counties with Red Zones, but in the Oct 28th update, 13 counties were worse.

URGENT UPDATE! Now 15 counties in NY have worse Coronavirus death rates over the last 7 days than any of the counties in which @NYGovCuomo made Jewish-focused Red Zones the last 3 weeks. 2 mornings ago, 12 counties were worse. The data is from the NYT link above.

If NYC is at 2.4% then many zip codes are above 3% and many neighborhoods are above 4% if @NYGovCuomo were to Red Zone them. We said weeks ago that COVID-19 is a NY problem but Cuomo pretended it’s a Jewish one. He neglected the issue and caused a spike in harassment of Jews.
Case counts and infection rates can fluctuate based on local testing patterns, but deaths from Coronavirus tell a clearer story. Over the last week, TWELVE counties had more Covid deaths per capita than any of the 4 counties where Cuomo had set up Jewish-focused Red Zones. Image
In Coronavirus deaths per capita over the last 7 days, Orange is number 13 on the list (12 counties are worse); Rockland is at 16. Those two counties have Cuomo Red Zones in it yet the cases from a few weeks ago did not put those 2 counties at the top for deaths. How? Answer:

The downstate (Jew-focused) zones averaged a 3.51% infection rate last week and 2.78% in the just-concluded week. The upstate Focus Zones, created just days ago in counties with no measurable Orthodox Jewish communities in it, averaged 6.2% last week; 6.1% this week.

#OJPACData
TWELVE COUNTIES (with no measurable Orthodox Jewish communities in it) had worse Coronavirus infection rates yesterday than the average rate of the Jew-focused zones at 2.41%. It’s time to let go of these farce narrow-zones and to focus on the counties that are doing worse daily.
In all the weeks that @NYGovCuomo and staff made the COVID-19 resurgence about Orthodox Jews, there were multiple counties upstate who had daily worse infection rates than those norrowly-design, Jew-focused Red Zones. Now there are many more counties doing worse because people
