New York's Orthodox Jews are taking civil disobedience to new heights as they burn their masks in protest against state crackdowns on religious gatherings just as the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement wind down and the harvest celebration of Sukkot begins. This is an intensely spiritual period for families and communities who would normally gather to pray and celebrate, but not in the year 5781. This year, history repeats itself as Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo blame Jews for spreading a deadly plague.
When the Black Death was ravaging Medieval Europe with tornadic ferocity, the Jews were scapegoated for causing its spread by "poisoning the well." Hitler said Jews were dirty, spread disease, and contaminated the purity of the Aryan race. Millions were massacred in tsar-ordered pogroms for the blood libel of using Christian blood to make matzah.
But today, Jews are standing up to Hizzoner and Il Duce Cuomo, who justify their order closing schools and nonessential businesses, banning mass gatherings, and restricting worship to a maximum of ten people, by accusing Jews in certain New York ZIP codes of ignoring guidelines and causing a spike in COVID cases because of their religious observance and close-knit community.
These insular Jewish neighborhoods are done being pawns in the Democrats' election game. If Democrat-sponsored riots and violence can endure for months, why not peaceful protests by religious groups strong-armed by state and municipal authorities? These communities recognize the creep of totalitarianism. They know that the jump is short from government edicts restricting assembly and work to mandatory patches or masks to papers certifying they are COVID-free, to something unspeakably execrable.

Unfortunately it’s only the Orthodox Jews. The rest of the Jews don’t seem to give a damn. I think it’s probably because as Ben Shapiro says they are Jews because they popped out of a Jewish mother, not because of their belief system.

Are the Jews dying of “covid” at a greater rate?
The monsters the left are I wouldn’t put it past them to spred some extra germs among the Jews.
The Muslims gathered tightly, and apparently didn’t spread covid. Why the Jews?
I hope the Orthodox in New York more greatly respect the clear facts of who - which party - are not their political friends, and vote accordingly.
Trump should go and march in a big Orthodox protest in New York City.
Note to the rest of the country: You can’t say you weren’t warned.
It’s the Dems that are the fascists.
