Are Bill De Blasio and Andrew Cuomo Targeting New York City's Jews?
Mewsweek ^ | October 7, 2020 | Josh Hammer

In a Monday press conference, Governor Andrew Cuomo did not merely single out New Rochelle, in Westchester County, as the first outbreak hotspot—he emphasized, for good measure, the "Orthodox Jewish" identity of the culprit. "We know religious gatherings have been a problem...for weeks," he continued, belying any semblance of neutrality as to which particular community he had in mind when TV producers flashed images of black hat-clad Haredi Jews across the screen. In Kafkaesque fashion, as Jewish Insider's Jacob Kornbluh pointed out, one of the photos appeared to be from 2006.

Cuomo's press conference followed his flagging, on Twitter last week, "20 hotspot ZIP codes"—clustered around the New York City metropolitan area—of locations to "target[]." The New York City Commission of Health and Mental Hygiene dutifully followed Cuomo's imperial lead, issuing a new slew of draconian dictates for local private schools—meaning yeshivas—in eight specific Brooklyn- and Queens-based ZIP codes. Each of these eight ZIP codes are—surprise!—in predominantly Jewish areas of Brooklyn and Queens. And as law professor Josh Blackman has noted, the Commission did not impose similar crippling restrictions on at least six New York City ZIP codes with similar COVID-19 positivity rates that—surprise!—are not predominantly Jewish. He had the chutzpah to threaten to coercively shut down noncompliant religious institutions and schools—in other words, synagogues and yeshivas.

In the aftermath of Monday's presser, Cuomo has now chosen to focus, in lieu of ZIP code targeting, on "redlining" those irksome Jewish neighborhoods. As Blackman wrote: "The governor is drawing up the 21st-century equivalent of ghettos for Jews. And he is encircling these ghettos with red lines."

His name isn’t Wilhelm because he’s not German.

It is 1933 Germany all over again. Learn from history, folks. Never give up your guns and ammo. You will need them.

Your leftist neighbors are about to freely elect the same type of government Germany did if the democrats win in November.

[Are Bill De Blasio and Andrew Cuomo Targeting New York City's Jews?]

Well, historically speaking, Socialist gun-grabbers do have a slight tendency to do just that. It's probably just a coincidence, though.

[I am sure that is the kind of responses people gave to the Jewish people of 1933 and so they willingly gave up their weapons thinking government would not be their enemies.

Whoever you are, you are clearly not one who understands let alone studies history. Belittle all you want but all you are is a useful idiot.]

Hey, genius. I’m AGREEING WITH YOU.

DUH

Refresh my memory. Who does the New York Jewish community overwhelmingly vote for?

I guess not many Jews consider themselves to be Orthodox. American Jews voted overwhelmingly for Clinton Was that community outside of New York that suspiciously voted 100% for Hillary Clinton Orthodox?

Yes....... it is the Jewish sectors that are refusing to comply with his covid restriction demands. Cuomo just fined them thousands and thousands in fines.

Of course fining people now is his money maker......we can name that tune in one note!
