On Wednesday, three Orthodox Jewish congregations in Rockland County, N.Y., sued Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) for issuing a “blatantly anti-Semitic” coronavirus order restricting religious services in Jewish areas, just before three sequential Jewish holy days. Cuomo falsely blamed the Orthodox Jewish community for a surge in COVID-19 cases in New York, referring to the surge as “a predominantly ultra-orthodox cluster,” and he admitted the lockdowns were based on “fear” rather than science.
According to the lawsuit, Cuomo’s October 6 executive order “is blatantly anti-Semitic, creating religious-observance based color coded ‘hot-spot’ zones directed towards particular Jewish communities.”
The order “not only flagantly flies in the face of scientific evidence and the Soos Injunction” — a legal injunction preventing New York from subjecting religious services to extra restrictions over secular gatherings — but it also “specifically singles out the orthodox Jewish community in what has proven to be the latest extension of Governor Cuomo’s streak of anti-Semitic discrimination.”
...
The lawsuit alleges that Cuomo violated: the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment, the Freedom of Assembly Clause of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

New York officials have repeatedly singled out Jews in a disgusting double standard on coronavirus restrictions. While protesters and rioters ran rampant on the streets of the Big Apple at night, de Blasio had police disperse Jewish mothers and their children from a playground in broad daylight.
...
The mayor also repeatedly singled out Jews for COVID-19 warnings.

It is high time for these rabbis to fight back, and Dhillon and Coleman will handle the case well.

Dont worry. They still are a safe DNC voting block! Idiots!
I’ve never understood the left wing Jew hatred. Jews have always been pretty faithful followers of the marxist agenda. Yet the left hates them to the point of genocide. The only explanation is biblical..
I really hope they win against Killer Cuomo.

I’m hoping that when the truth finally comes out on this fiasco, that several governors will answer to the people they so cruelly have tormented.
