Group of Orthodox Jews hit with steep penalties after celebrating Jewish New Year in violation of local COVID ordinances and refusing police orders to leave house of worship
Australian police on Tuesday issued fines to worshipers at a synagogue in Melbourne where a group of Orthodox Jews held Rosh Hashanah services in apparent violation of pandemic lockdown ordinances.
According to local reports, some 100 worshipers gathered inside the synagogue at around 5 a.m. and refused to leave until nightfall.
Police surrounded the synagogue after receiving calls of a suspected mass gathering held in breach of COVID-19 restrictions. A police source told The Age newspaper that officers were not going to force their way into the synagogue and waited for worshipers to come out.
Each attendee received a fine of $5,452 Australian dollars ($4,026 USD) upon leaving the synagogue, the report said...

Well, I guess on the positive side is that they didn’t chain the doors shut and set the building on fire.
But the way Australia is going, that won’t be too far in the future.
All for the greater good of course..

Receiving calls!! Yea, be nice to find out who made the calls.
Nazis. Plain and Simple.
I have little to no sympathy. Aussies let this happen.
Those who want it here should sleep with their eyes open...
There is no shortage of Karens ready to make that call...
Australia began as a penal colony
and
it is ending as one, too.
what a shame.
it looked like it had all the world, future all lined up
Not about a virus
I wonder what the pro government oligarchs plan next for the Australian people? Are they proud of their promotion of “Fascist Chic” as a cultural model? Will they put Jews in “Quarantine... read ‘Concentration’ Camps”? It won’t look good, that is if there is anyone still watching.
I have wondered every day since this began, why everyone's overreacting to a virus that is around 99 percent survivable.
Still no good answer. (Just dark suspicions.)
Those that honor Israel will be blessed. Those that don’t will be cursed.
Yea, verily. Land of Oz foolin’ with they know not what.
“For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
He found him in a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He kept him as the apple of His eye.”
— Deut. 32:9-10
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. 9 For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.
10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. 11 “Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”
— Zech. 2:8-13
Good luck finding a pay phone.
The whole country is already on house arrest. What are they going to do, arrest you harder?
How do you know it wasn't reported by an Orthodox Jew?
Some of them believe the Covid hysteria and report their fellow Jews. There were several news stories last year, often in the New York Post, about Orthodox Jews violating the Covid restrictions. They included photos and videos, provided by snitches within the community.
One of them even made it his mission to monitor and record the violations. He once complained that when he was seen recording, a group of fellow Jews assaulted him.
He thought he was doing right. He believed that Covid would kill much of the community.
Most snitches are neighbors, coworkers, and members of the community, who think they're saving lives. Do-gooders who are moral heroes in their own eyes.
Most of the time it's an inside snitch. See my post 33.
C.S. Lewis:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.”
“There ain’t no end to doing good.”
-Josey Wales
Truth.
We may have a breakthrough in tyranny here.
But I am always looking to see if this is designed to bite the local government in the back.
The opposition Labor Party runs Victoria where this happens.
The Liberal Party could get mileage here but PM Scott Morrison has endorsed the lockdowns until 80 percent are vaccinated.
First they came for the Jews...
The police are not your friends.
