Because of the Corona, the ultra-Orthodox became a thug

It is no longer clear whether the government has exaggerated or not enforced the closure and isolation policy on Bnei Brak, and whether it is necessary to bring in military forces there. What is clear beyond doubt is that leading parts of the Israeli media and public at large have lost their brakes in relation to the ultra-Orthodox communities.

Even before Prof. Sa'ar of Maccabi's death, according to which 38% of Bnei Brak residents were ill, was surfacing towards turning the ultra-Orthodox into a scapegoat. As always in history, the public tends to be hysterical in times of such threats and seeks the scapegoat. The Israeli, who turned the ultra-Orthodox into a scapegoat for the Corona epidemic last week, is no different from the world's anti-Semitic media.

This is done almost without feeling; Like Rina's seemingly innocent, seemingly innocent question in the News 12 news broadcast on Friday evening: "How many anxieties are you being treated in the department?"

The tendency in the media and in public and politics in Israel is to see the ultra-Orthodox as an electoral cannon at best, and as an anti-Semitic incitement object at worst. The veteran journalists must still remember the late Ezer Weizman, who was even the president of the state until he received an ultimatum from Persia and Abrum Borg, announcing that for peace he would be ready to go for a year at Strimal.

Today there are those who have lost hope of receiving the support of the ultra-Orthodox parties, and are willing to spend a year and perhaps much more under the PLO flag. And the new enemy? Bnei Brak. In Jerusalem, the situation is similar in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in terms of infection, but Jerusalem also includes Arab neighborhoods. The darkness and epidemic there does not threaten the studios near her.

In the Israeli hospital departments, they never asked how many Arab patients were treated there. Israeli hospitals are known for their exceptional integration. Medical teams that consist of both Arabs and Jews, and those who are hospitalized, sometimes include terrorists from here and there. The White House Activity Coordinator for the Epidemic said that in states such as New Jersey and Rhode Island, the infection rate is about 35 percent. As they say about Bnei Brak.

Does anyone in the mainstream media and politics in America dream of blaming minority communities that are the epidemic distributors? One must put an end to the hatred and turn the Jews of wigs into a scapegoat.
