    Defacing a Jewish member of Congress’ office with words like “blood on your hands,” due to what’s happening on the other end of the world, is not a peaceful form of protest. This is the height of antisemitism.

    Thank you @nytimes! Here’s the line at early voting in Boro Park! No political consultant could have turned out the vote in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods as your hate-driven reporters have managed to do.

    The record must reflect that government repeatedly said no to outdoor gatherings when Orthodox Jews sought permission to conduct outdoor religious services. Whether you are celebrating or not, it should trouble everyone when First Amendment rights are applied selectively.

    Incoherent word salad response. @MelissaRusso4NY asked a simple question. This guy is literally incapable of condemning Hamas.

    New York is failing to save lives. The numbers speak for themselves. Population: NYC: 8.4M Israel: 8.9M Total Infections: NYC: 487K Israel: 485K COVID-19 Deaths: NYC: 25,505 Israel: 3,645 Total Vaccinated: NYC: 203K Israel: 1.7M Yet, all our “leaders” do is point fingers.

    Let me get this straight: when it comes to lockdowns, Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods are considered hardest hit. Yet for vaccine distribution and relief services suddenly we're not even in @nycgov's top 27 neighborhoods? www1.nyc.gov/site/neon/prog…

    The Supreme Court sides with the people! @NYGovCuomo's Executive Order illegally targeted religious communities. “Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten."

    When the hateful agenda-driven @nytimes demonizes our culture and our traditions, we don’t just protest. WE VOTE‼️ Heartwarming to see the tremendous turnout throughout Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in NY. A religious minority exercising its hard-earned voting rights. Beautiful!

    This plan is clearly the work of geniuses. Restaurants in one zip code can’t do in-door dining, yet the restaurant just a couple blocks away can. A 4 minute walk will really help stop the spread?
    Replying to @NYCMayor
    Today I’m announcing a proposal to close ALL schools and nonessential businesses in these zip codes on Wednesday, October 7. The affected zip codes are 11691, 11219, 11223, 11230, 11204, 11210, 11229, 11415 and 11367.

    Unfortunately, there’s a measles outbreak in Columbus, Ohio affecting the Black, Asian, White & Hispanic communities. But why use photos of Orthodox Jews who live 564 miles away? @washingtonpost, are Hasidim now your go-to photo whenever there’s an outbreak anywhere in the US?🤔
    An Ohio measles outbreak among unvaccinated children comes at a time of heightened concern about the public health consequences of anti-vaccine sentiment. wapo.st/3C1qkTh

    I'm excited to endorse @AndrewYang because he will bring a new perspective to solving our city’s problems. Andrew recognizes the unique qualities of every community, and he understands that the Orthodox Jewish community is a vibrant part of the beautiful mosaic that is New York!

    The Hamas sympathizers have decided to “flood” our peaceful neighborhood of Boro Park. I demand that @NYPDnews and @NYCMayorsOffice take immediate action to prevent this hateful, targeted protest against our local Jewish community. It is YOUR responsibility to protect our

    Today, our thoughts & prayers are with the families of those snatched away one year ago by the horrific Jersey City Anti-Semitic attack. We must recommit to eradicate all forms of hate. Det. Joseph Seals💔 Mindy Ferencz💔 Douglas Miguel Rodriguez💔 Moshe Deutsch💔 Never again.
    Tragedy struck close to home today. My prayers are with the families of the victims and officer killed by armed gunmen in Jersey City. cnn.it/2YAZqg1

    The result of a two year @nytimes investigation is a pitiful rehash of cherry picked data and inaccuracies, peddled by the same group obsessed with Orthodox Jews. What’s clear is that the NYT is not interested in the positive value of our schools, just spreading lies for clicks.
