CAVEAT: This applies to only a few of the “super Jews” who live in places such as Jerusalem, Beni Brak, Williamsburg, Monsey, and a few other places.
These people are paying now by becoming infected through their stupidity.
They will pay later as their actions invite even more anti-Semitism and more “anti-black hat” attitudes from non-black hat Jews.
THE FOLLOWING headline Israel mulling Bnei Brak quarantine after police report difficulty enforcing lock down appeared on the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) at https://tinyurl.com/quca286.
(March 29, 2020 / JNS) The Israeli government is considering placing the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak under quarantine, Israeli Finance Ministry Director General Shai Babad told the country’s parliament on Sunday (29 MAY 2020).
With police reporting difficulty in enforcing lock-down directives in the city, which has an infection rate higher than the national average, Babad told the Knesset’s Special Committee on Dealing with the Coronavirus, “We are having more than a few problems with ultra-Orthodox society in areas like Bnei Brak.”
Babad made the comment hours after hundreds of Bnei Brak residents gathered for the burial of Rabbi Tzvi Shenkar, with thousands reportedly attending a funeral procession just before. Videos show hundreds gathering in close proximity to one another, breaking social distancing directives.
Several clashes between residents and police attempting to enforce the lock-down have taken place in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in recent weeks.
Last week, Israeli Health Ministry data showed that 24 percent of infections have occurred in synagogues, with the next most common places of infection being hotels (15 percent), restaurants (12 percent), supermarkets (seven percent) yeshivas (five percent) and medical clinics (five percent). Educational institutions, old age homes, day cares, mikvehs, election ballot stations, shopping malls, event halls and gyms all fell under five percent.
According to internal Health Ministry data published in Haaretz, infections in Bnei Brak are increasing eight-fold every three days, compared to the two-fold national average. In Jerusalem, which also has a high ultra-Orthodox population, the cases are quadrupling in the same time period.
The Knesset discussion of a potential full lock-down, said Babad, is centered on “how we could put a closure in place and isolate those areas,” referring to the ultra-Orthodox areas with high infection rates and non-compliance with government orders intended to decrease spread of the outbreak.

In the Ashkenazi “ultra-Orthodox” community many feel they are entitled to do whatever they will; just like the young nazis who feel that they cannot be infected and die, and if a few old folks die, so what. “They were old anyway.”
There are a few in the Sefardic community in Israel and in the U.S. who, despite being “senior citizens” with underlying conditions disregard governments’ “Stay Home” rules. In two cases, the men have equally elderly wives at home who also have underlying health conditions.
Stupid. Yes.
Self-centered? Yes.
Placing themselves unnecessarily at risk? Yes.
The young people I can understand. They simply don’t care about anyone but themselves. They board planes for Florida, breathe infected air for two-plus hours, get off the plane and then are told to “self-isolate” for 14 days.
If the governor (of Florida) believes they will do that, he’s a bigger fool than we thought.
Almost no observant Jew wants to give up his minyan. He may manage to make minyans only on Shabat, but making those minyans is a special part of his life.
But
* The rabbis have told us to pray at home.
* The governments have told us to stay home.
WHY would anyone “make minyan” when their life, and the lives of others, is in jeopardy? Only a fool or a person who is “entitled.”
And this, too, shall pass.
Hopefully, a preventative soon will be found and equally soon a cure will be found, and the Chinese Virus of 2020 will be something our grandchildren will tell their grandchildren.
Meanwhile we have to suffer not only the Chinese virus but the entitled youth and stupid “ultra-Orthodox” and others who refuse to believe they cannot be infected.

Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
