New York: Jewish groups sue state, Governor Cuomo over coronavirus restrictions

9

Good. The tyrannical Governor Cuomo is singling out Brooklyn’s Hassidic community to appease his hard-Left voters. When BLM and Antifa protestors were demonstrating (and trashing) New York City, Buffalo, and Rochester, Cuomo practically did nothing to respond. In addition, New York City’s Muslim citizens recently had a large gathering in Queens for Ashoura. Cuomo naturally did not threaten them. This is blatant hypocrisy and anti-Semitism. And maybe Cuomo is also targeting Brooklyn’s Hassidic community because they overwhelmingly support President Trump?

New York: Jewish groups sue state, Governor Cuomo over coronavirus restrictions

By I24, October 16, 2020

New York coronavirus restrictions draw ire from Jewish congregations, groups, activists

Three New York Jewish congregations filed a lawsuit recently against the state of New York and its Governor Andrew Cuomo over the coronavirus restrictions in the area.

The lawsuit, lodged with the Manhattan federal court on Wednesday by rabbis of Netzach Yisroel, Yesheos Yakov and Oholei Shem D’Nitra congregations, charged that Cuomo made false and discriminatory statements about the Orthodox Jews.

On October 6, the state authorities rolled out new restrictions aiming to curb the surging virus cases in areas with the highest infection rates.

The latest lawsuit says the rules were “blatantly anti-Semitic,” accusing Cuomo of targeting Orthodox Jewish communities.

The lawsuit, as cited by the Associated Press, also says the rules were especially painful for the community of Monsey, where four people were injured and one killed during a stabbing attack on Hanukkah.

Earlier, Agudath Israel, a national Orthodox group, also sued Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio over the regulations.

The defendants’ lawyers argued that the freedom of exercising one’s religious beliefs did not include the freedom to expose others in the community to a disease, and that the restrictions were not aimed at Jewish communities.

Extortion against the voters is the last ditch shake-down of this thoroughly discredited and demonstrably criminal crony syndicate, the venally infamous and historically disgraced Democrat Junta.
Can you believe the bag-man from The Big Sleep, Rep. Debbie Stabenow, D-MI, repeating veiled threats about putting an end to the “chaos” and how “things just didn’t work out,” aimed at Independent voters and Trump Democrats?
All these grifters, sell-outs and enemy collaborators from Stabenow to Cuomo to Clinton to Biten, not to mention the street punk arsonists like Eric Holder, Javier Becerra, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Joy Reid, Big Bird Bilasio and his crack ho, are conspirators in the world’s biggest Protection Racket, the Democrat Junta.
Vanquished by We The People, in the only country on Earth where that’s possible.

Has anyone ever seen pissed off ultra orthodox Hassidim? I have and Cuomo and De Blasio will be in for a big surprise if he closes down Temples. He won’t extort them at all. He will make them into an enemy. They will be a wealthy enemy and a fiercy unafraid enemy!

Hope they win and point out the double standard for Muslims and Hindus etc…

Even Hindus are given a pass in NYC with police protection!
Jews and Christians are shunned.

NEW YORK, AUG 6 : Hindus and their supporters in New York City celebrated the laying of the foundation stone for the Ram temple in Ayodhya, ignoring a ban on a video marking the occasion due to pressure from an Islamic group.

About 1,000 people turned up for the celebration on Wednesday evening singing ‘bhajans’ and chanting at a traffic island on Times Square, while two groups of protesters lined up on either side to heckle them.

Earlier, a large video display of Ram and the temple being built in Ayodhya was turned off following protests from a Muslim group claiming it was political.

Folks, this goes to show you what many people Nationwide have believed for sometime. Either politicians find Islam exotic or fear for their own safety if they oppose them and therefore accede to anything demanded by Muslim organizations. Meanwhile their Special Class Status is beginning to cause friction with other religions and will one day come to a climax.

Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio and both Anti-Semites and opportunists willing to use Jews as scapegoats to advance their plans. They see us as weak, compliant divided people. They don’t know the history of their own NYC history or NY State history when there had been Jewish riots. If they think they will close down worship in Jewish Temples in the State of New York in 2020 and not face a violent reaction from Jews they are mistaken. They just may have the surprise of their lives if they try to shut it down. Also, the slimyness of Cuomo to state we’ll close it down for good. I’m not going to comment
further on where that type of comment leads. Cuomo is much smarter that this and he knows what type of toxic environment he’s creating. He’s a true scum bag. The lowest of the low.
