Antisemitism related to Coronavirus

[YitzyS]

only way to get a public comment in... maybe it will get to the governor and he’ll use it to speak out against anti semitism.

Gov: I take great offense when a small group of people take to social media to scapegoat others who worship differently, or look different, from them for what we’re experiencing now.

That’s not only wrong in a moral and ethical sense, it’s just simply wrong on any factual basis.

here is a post with multiple people on here calling rabonim murderes. https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=114911.0

If that is our response to Daas Torah then what do you want the Non-Jews response to be?!?!?!?! This anti-semitic post is dispicable but it comes no where close to the hate that was on DDF against Daas Torah!

I personally think there's a huge difference between taking our leaders to task for their slow response over the last 2-4 weeks, and spewing anti-Semitic tropes about an entire community, especially when the fact is over 95% of that community is currently adhering to local and federal regulations.

Someone started a Change.org petition to counter the antisemitic one.

Sickening petition:

Despicable. Replete with false information, using isolated incidents to stir up hatred against a demographic of nearly 100,000 people. There are no daily weddings and schools are closed. That, and a lot more false info. @Change should remove this petition immediately. https://t.co/rKPB8MOgYX

Typo. Was supposed to say Coryid-19

You think 7,500 people are familiar with the real situation on the ground in Lakewood? Sad and scary on so many levels.

"Officers have also broken up large gatherings in Lakewood, including weddings, but Grewal said that town was not an outlier. Several counties have had multiple violations, he said. Some people have also used those incidents to spew bigotry toward Jewish residents, Gov. Phil Murphy said Thursday at a press conference, because Lakewood has a large Orthodox population."
