Most of the ultra-Orthodox, not part, not a specific group, but the "ultra-Orthodox," Rina insisted last Saturday evening on Channel 12. They do not regularly obey income tax officials, she said, and even recalled protests more than 20 years ago in Jerusalem. And it's all made up of a full-fledged, hate-filled and grossly concrete tone (sorry, today it's called "criticism"). This, we will clarify, was not stated as part of a discussion of the status quo in Israel, but at the height of the description of the Corona virus disease in Bnei Brak.

Economic times of crisis and epidemics have always been fertile ground for anti-Semitism. We are saddened to hear about her current performances against Jews in the United States, and this past week we were exposed to a special breed of domestic racism. Paint in different colors, but the hatred that surrounds her is always black and white, white against black.

The eruption in Bnei Brak, if allowed to return to the data for a moment, began following the Purim celebrations, which were completely permitted at the time. The same was true in other ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods and cities. Since then, the pattern of increase in the rate of morbidity in Bnei Brak has not been significantly different from the average increase in the country of 20 percent a day. In other words, there are many patients in Bnei Brak in the first place, but the rate of expansion is not very different. In other words, the lack of respect for quarantine necessarily resulted in the amount of patients being observed.

But all this did not stop the immediate connection many have made, between the state of the disease and the danger of the outbreak of the plague in the entire country. Thus, for example, a few days ago, Moab Vardi presented "Illuminating Data" in the State of Israel here. Although he did not deal with the details of the data by localities, he still managed to say "Anti Bnei Brak" to the end, explaining that if morbidity continues to rise and if they (the ultra-Orthodox) arrive en masse to the hospitals, this will cause the system to collapse. Yedioth Ahronoth joined in his style, and in the cover illustration colored Litzman's lower body in red. The message also comes up in a few places: the ultra-Orthodox, the ultra-Orthodox, are a separate and disciplined, anti-social community. Haredi are dangerous to us during the epidemic.

There is no denying that the current expressions would not have been accepted with such indifference had it not been for a hate enterprise that has been able to supply quite a bit of produce in the past year. It was headed by "Israel our house," the gospel distributor. "More than one million representatives of the Orthodox community are at our expense today," one video said. In another video, haredim danced as money poured over them from the sky, and in another cartoon, an ultra-Orthodox man hugged a sack of money that reads "Budget", and beside him stands a soldier in torn, empty pockets.

The message today should be clear and clear: all contributors to the hatred of the ultra-Orthodox would be shouted and jumped to their feet if, instead of "ultra-Orthodox," someone was stingy with "Arab". Here's an exercise: for a moment, replace "ultra-Orthodox" with "Jews." What did you get? Classical anti-Semitism. Because Jewish memory, for those who have not lost it, forbids us to purge these expressions of their original, anti-Semitic meaning, even if wigs have not been rubbed into a street corner.
