Are we to just assume that they are all hillbilly rednecks or Neo-Nazis?
Time for the Chasids to nut up and form their own defense force/militia.
When it comes to “hate” crimes against Jews in NYC it is overwhelmingly young black males hating on Jews.It’s been that way for decades
Why doesn’t Mayor DiBlasio’s African-American wife speak out to her “peeps” and tell them to cut the crap and stop attacking Jews and others in NYC?
This is part “religious”, part cultural, and altogether stems from differences in the creation of the fabric of a neighborhood.
The orthodox are “separatists” in that their social mode is predominately NOT inclusive of mixing with others.
But the area of Brooklyn they have such a big presence in is not exclusively an orthodox Jewish area, though some districts in the area they do dominate.
When you have neighbors whose social interaction with you is essentially to barely if at all acknowledge you, unless circumstances can’t help it, while they are extremely open and social with “their own kind”, AND the sum of the area is somewhat diverse ethnically - you have tensions. One dominate group is socially as if it was “exclusive” while everyone else is “tolerated”.
We see this in my area of New Jersey. I have neighbors - Orthodox Jews - just across my driveway (we share a common driveway) who have never ONCE spoken to me on their own initiative. If I say Hello or comment, they have a tiny short response. If I say nothing they just go on about what they are doing ignoring me less than 15 feet away.
Around town they are talkative, animated, expressive and even jovial among themselves, but not with or toward the sum of us who are not orthodox.
I, personally, can accept them as they are. I don’t even need to understand why they keep so rigidly social to themselves.
But I can understand how THEIR exclusiveness can lead to tensions in Brooklyn. That is no excuse for any violence toward them, but when social conditions between groups are not good, it is the worst among us that react the worst.
Since the media deliberately omits race or religion, you can safely assume that the perps are who you think they are.
