The link below has the shocking details - backed by first hand accounts and videos - of the blatant bigotry by @lufthansa against more than one hundred Hasidic Jews who were on their way to Hungary last week.

@GermanyinUSA This needs to be addressed.

dansdeals.com/points-travel/… VIDEO!

Passenger: This is gruesome.

@Lufthansa clerk: It would have been if you were African, if you were Polander.

Passenger: I was wearing a mask the entire time, why am I lumped in with them?

Clerk: It was one, everyone has to pay for a couple.

Anti-Hasidic hate group yaffed reaches a new low accusing children and grandchildren of Holocaust victims of not teaching enough about the Holocaust. This low replaces the previous low when their ring leader blamed Hasidim for the deaths of Hasidim in the Meron stampede. Image The Meron stampede happened on 4/30/21 leading to the death of 45 Jews; mostly Hasidim. While the Palestinians’ Mahmoud Abbas had the common decency to send a condolence letter, the ring leader of anti-Hasidic hate group yaffeed only tweeted blame. See his tweets in the video.

STATEMENT BY OJPAC! It doesn’t happen in a vacuum that a person is shameless enough to go on a 3 minute inflammatory public rant about Jews and for most people in attendance to take his side too. It’s a result of a toxic environment where agitators spent years weaponizing debates about municipal policy with an outsized focus on Orthodox Jews and the commentary being loaded with one-sided reporting and flat out lies. Often, the conversation is framed that every local problem is the fault of Orthodox Jews and everything about Orthodox Jews is faulty.

SICKENING! Bigot at a public hearing in Haverstraw (Rockland County), NY says regarding Jews “there is a certain sect of people that tend to walk in the street and nobody is wearing any reflective gear. So if I run one of them over and of course I will back over them again.” Full video is available on our Facebook page. fb.watch/9donAtfTOo/

Video and Statement: Misleading Comments by Dr. Fauci Against “Hasidic Jewish People” in NY

ojpac.org/updates/video-… Dr. Fauci says that herd immunity for measles is 90% - 95% and then he incorrectly blames Hasidim of NY for the 2018-2019 outbreak despite the fact that it started in other states. He seems unaware that only 80% Hasidim in NY are age eligible for full vaccination against measles

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.

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.

.@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.

@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.

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.

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

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.

“An Orthodox Jewish advocacy group accused @NYGovCuomo of unfairly scapegoating Orthodox communities for rising coronavirus cases, noting that positivity rates also have climbed in upstate counties with no measurable Orthodox populations.”

recordonline.com/story/news/cor… ”’The tone from the governor is reckless because it leads people to think that Coronavirus is not an issue in their non-Orthodox backyard which may lead to a neglect in following rules,’ read the statement from the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council.” recordonline.com/story/news/cor…

Coronavirus is Rising Across NY in Areas with no Orthodox Jews. @NYGovCuomo, @melissadderosa and @RichAzzopardi Still Blame Jews for the Resurgence.

STATEMENT:

ojpac.org/updates/corona… One day @NYGovCuomo focuses on regions. The next day on counties. The following day on zip codes. The next day on blocks within zip codes. Then, he blames the statewide COVID-19 resurgence on Orthodox Jews. An OJPAC co-founder spoke to @NBCNewYork about it.

County Executive @SNeuhausOC of @OCGovNY thinks that Kiryas Joel was an early Covid19 problem but he ignores the fact that residents followed early advice from officials to test. Due to the early testing, KJ cases appeared early. Not testing, does not mean there are no cases. In his #COVIDー19 update on Sunday March 22, @SNeuhausOC spoke about KJ almost at the top of his message. KJ has 25,000 people in a county of 375,000 people. It is antagonistic to pick on a small village (based on flawed math no less). This is the relavant portion.

Hasidim stay in one place "oh no, they overdevelop." Hasidim move into new areas "oh no, they are taking over." Hasidim mind their own business, "they are insular." Hasidim shop at malls and go to entertainment places, "they are everywhere." Hasidim use social services, "oh no, they suck the system dry." Hasidim have an unprecedented network of charity orgs (which help reduce the reliance on many gov services), "oh no they only help their own."
