The Hasidic (ultra-Orthodox Jewish people) are engaging in ethnic cleansing as they colonize municipalities with the goal of pushing out Gentiles except for a small number of Hispanic residents who they allow (as their servants.) The Hasidic are engaging in shameful behavior. What is the shameful behavior?
(1) Aggressively soliciting people to sell their homes to them by using scare tactics. (You will be the only gentile left)
Being bad neighbors - littering their own lawns with toys left astray, failing to upkeep the property, failing to show common courtesy to non-Hasidic people (would it kill them to say please and thank you? - God forbid, hold the door for a person entering the store right behind them instead of letting it slam in people’s faces?), teaching their children to stay away from non-Hasidic children (actually saying, in Yiddish, “get away from that “goy” or even worse, that “schvartzer”.) Goy is a derogatory term for gentile and schvartzer is a derogatory term for African-American. As a group, they are bigoted and racist.
Once they own some property on a block they deliberately rent to bad tenants with the intent of lowering property values so they scoop up the rest of the houses on the block after the original homeowners panic and sell out. Once they own all the houses on the block they kick out the bad tenants and move themselves in.
(2)Shamefully filing religious discrimination lawsuits (RLUIPA) to bypass local zoning laws so they can build high-density housing which, once occupied, will later have illegal basement apartments that will not be inspected and no code will be enforced
(3) Shamefully packing the public school board and with the clear intention of diverting funds from the public schools to their own private schools. Also packing the council, planning, zoning, etc.
(4) Shamefully getting married at a very young age and having large families without any means of support and without any intention of looking for a job. The healthy, able-bodied young fathers will spend their days leisurely studying ancient religious texts while their wives struggle with baby after baby collecting welfare - section 8, food stamps, medicaid, every benefit available - all thanks to the American taxpayer.
(5) Shamefully keeping their young males ignorant by failing to teach them any useful trade or providing any academic preparation for a profession.
(6) Shamefully failing to properly teach their young males the English language.
(7) Shamefully buying corrupt politicians with their block vote.
(8) Shamefully taking over neighboring municipality’s parks (that they don’t pay taxes to maintain) then leaving their garbage strewn about making no effort to clean up after themselves.
The Hasidic are very bad neighbors and the residents of Rockland County are correct in pushing back.
“Shamefully getting married at a very young age and having large families without any means of support and without any intention of looking for a job. The healthy, able-bodied young fathers will spend their days leisurely studying ancient religious texts while their wives struggle with baby after baby collecting welfare - section 8, food stamps, medicaid, every benefit available...”
“(5) Shamefully keeping their young males ignorant by failing to teach them any useful trade or providing any academic preparation for a profession.
(6) Shamefully failing to properly teach their young males the English language.”
So they’re all dirt poor welfare recipients, but
“(1) Aggressively soliciting people to sell their homes to them...”
“Once they own some property on a block they deliberately rent to bad tenants with the intent of lowering property values so they scoop up the rest of the houses on the block after the original homeowners panic and sell out. Once they own all the houses on the block they kick out the bad tenants and move themselves in.”
“...so they can build high-density housing...”
So they are able to get a mortgage commitment underwritten and plonk down earnest money, not once, but for all the houses on the block and build high-density housing, too. And what’s more keep some Hispanics around as servants? Not bad for welfare recipients.
If Hasidim were “ethnically cleansing” Rockland County, they’re taking their time about it and doing a poor job. Kiryas Joel, Monroe, Monsey, New Square and Spring Valley have had a Hasidic population for a long time, and yet there are still Gentiles about, some like you with interesting notions about Hasidic society.
Young men do study in “Kolel” for the first couple of years after marriage, with the help of in-laws and working wives. But as soon as the children start getting numerous enough to be expensive, they get work, either with the help of family, or vocational training of some sort. They do manage to pick up English, and to prosper. I’ve worked with a Hasidic real estate developer (no high-density houses upstate, but nice new brownstones in Brooklyn), known a Hasid who owns a chain of dry cleaning stores, and turns the profits of one over to charitable purposes, and there are more than a few contractors, diamond merchants and traders.
Myself, I was born to a secular left-wing family, and later became persuaded to join the Chabad movement, and after getting a two-year degree worked as a paralegal for eighteen years, then in the food industry (dairy farms, then deli in Winn Dixie), before emigrating to Israel, where I work as a sofer stam (scribe; caligrapher) and sometimes a freelance writer.
I’m sorry you don’t like your Chassidic neighbors. I make no apologies for their quirks, which vary, while their considerable virtues are not hard to discover, either, once you get past the surface.
But there is nothing shameful about having children. They eventually grow up and move out, and they have to move somewhere. Both the Chassidim and the non-Chassidim in Rockland need to put their heads together and plan this in an orderly fashion. All this pushing back and forth is avoidable and not at all desirable. Ghetto-ization in Brooklyn is not an answer either.
