About 10 years back there was a series of scandals involving the ultra orthodox Jewish communities. Rabbis money laundering. Rabbis beating up Jewish men to force them to give their wives a religious divorce. Prominent well off people committing Medicaid fraud. And yes, arranging for people to sell a kidney in Israel.
The ultra orthodox marry young and have about 10 kids apiece. Hence rapid population growth. They look for already built towns to expand into, high density so they can walk on the sabbath. Poor and high crime is okay. They have patrols. They move in as organized group. And they vote as a group.
In some instances, they have taken over town government and school board; then they pare back public spending and extracurriculars to the bone.
So yeah, blacks and Hispanics tend not to like them. But so do white gentiles who have faced an influx and so do non ultra orthodox Jews.
Any criticism or objection can be called anti semitic and sure, some of it is. But some of it is not liking your community being changed.
Wish they'd move to my town. :-)
In all seriousness, your post does give background information that tells more about what's going on in the minds of the people in that neighborhood.
In every group of people, there are scandals, secrets, and people who do wrong. It's not surprising that the Orthodox Jewish community has its own scandals.
But, the issue with this Board of Ed member is that she's trying to justify the murder of innocent people, just because those victims happened to be associated with a group she doesn't like.
But that’s not the argument she was making. She was saying that Jews were stealing organs and forcing Blacks out of neighborhood, and bring in drugs, gangs, and prostitutes.
