Current Events > Orthodox Jews are leading a violent campaign Of COVID Denial In NYC.

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://gothamist.com/news/orthodox-heshy-tischler-campaign-covid-denial-borough-park

Harold "Heshy" Tischler strolled onto 13th Avenue in Borough Park at 9 p.m. Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox demonstrators chanted his name, waving Trump and Thin Blue Lines flags as they jockeyed for a chance to meet the brash right-wing radio host leading the campaign to stop the new COVID-19 lockdown measures. We are at war! Tischler shouted to the crowd of protesters. You are my soldiers! An hour later, Tischler directed an angry mob of young Hasidic men as they surrounded and attacked Jacob Kornbluh, a veteran reporter with Jewish Insider. At Tischler's urging, the group hissed and spit at Kornbluh, labeling him a Nazi and a moser a term for a Jewish person who informs on their own community. As NYPD officers attempted to extract Kornbluh from the ugly scene, the group pinned their target against a wall, lunging and kicking at him. They all ambushed me, Kornbluh told Gothamist afterward. They attacked me because Im a reporter.

It was the second straight night of rage and violence in Borough Park. On Tuesday, at another demonstration led by Tischler, protesters beat up the brother of a well-known Hasidic whistleblower, swarmed a photojournalist documenting the scene, and set fire to surgical masks in the street. There were no arrests or summonses during either night of unrest, according to an NYPD spokesperson. Despite efforts to disperse the mass gathering late Wednesday, police eventually retreated from the street, allowing thousands of people to take the roadways. No way we were breaking that up, an officer with the Community Affairs Unit was overheard admitting. Agudath Israel of America, an international religious group that represents the ultra-Orthodox community, called the shutdown orders appalling, and hinted at a possible lawsuit. But Tischler has gone a step further, vowing to stop the restrictions by force, while peddling conspiracy theories that Democratic officials are deliberately misleading the public about the virus for political reasons. Several people in attendance on Friday said they now believed that the lockdown measures were a ploy to interfere in the upcoming election. Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo are trying to destroy Donald Trumps election, said Heshy Friedman, a 57-year-old Borough Park resident. Theyre using COVID to try to close off all the neighborhoods that are pro-Trump. According to the latest city data, more than 8 percent of those tested in Borough Park returned positive results for coronavirus, the highest rate across the five boroughs.

A woman named Bracha told Gothamist that she was certain the numbers were fake and that she was grateful that Tischler was alerting the community. Cuomos straight up lying, she said. Heshys honest. Hes open. Hes waking people up. City officials said that Tischler has been harassing Test & Trace Corp volunteers primarily people of color at testing sites throughout the neighborhood. How has this man not been arrested yet? wondered one source in the Mayors Office.

They literally dont want to live with the consequences of their actions

the NYPD is quick to deem Blm protests as riots but when actual riots, when people, reporters and stuff are actually getting hurt then they dont do anything?

wack

Oh so it is a riot, not a peaceful protest.

The situation is escalating. At first it was just a dance party and they were pushing back on cops. Now if they see someone recording they beat them up. Even if they are a journalist. And are harassing contact tracers who are just trying to do their job and keep covid under control in the city.

like how sheltered is this community that they see mask usage and the shutdown as an infringement of their religion?

theyre literally shouting Jewish lives matter
while they literally stone one of their own and burn masks smh, this has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with them wanting to not be told what to do

That is crazy. They can just beat up someone in front the cops and no one gets arrested. Cops even walk away. Imagine if BLM protestors did this. There would be tear gas and people getting hit with batons.

Please do not post this anti Semitism.

You cannot say or do anything remotely critical or negative regarding the Orthodox community, or else you get pelted with accusations of antisemitism. The stuff they're able to get away with is ridiculous. Unless you're from the general area, everyone thinks you're lying, or antisemitic. They're one of the most rude, racist, misogynistic, bigoted demographics you can comprehend, but you never hear a peep about them.

Where are the fathers?

Wow they're actually burning masks

Youre labeling an entire protest a riot because of the actions of a few participants. Well if thats the case then judging by some of their dance moves it was a fiery but mostly peaceful protest.

A riot of Jews would be an interesting change of pace.

yeah its fucking crazy, theyre actively hurting people, reporters and their own community members advocating for mask usage - like this isnt a peaceful protest you are actively injuring and stoning people and the NYPD is letting them get away with this
not even anti mask protesters in other parts of the US hurt people

Yeah. It will be interesting how this plays out because cops are afraid to do anything to them. It sucks because my neigborhood is close to the zone that got shut down. If covid cases keep rising my area will get shut down too. Which it seems like it will. Unlike those Floyd protests when you check the vids a lot of them aren't wearing masks.

Everyone is an asshole in NY but I guess this particular Jewish community decided they were going for the gold medal this year.

A group of Hasidic Jews has to be one of the least intimidating mobs of people imaginable.

That was a couple days ago. Now this group has a leader who is running for office said they are at war and then instructed people from his group to attack someone else. I didn't post entire article but they also later circled another news crew from ABC-7 and threatened them.

Hes running for office but how much of a chance does that loon have, its New York City. Theyre protesting without a permit, maybe the police can get him on that if he keeps doing it.
