In response to what can only be called a highly antisemitic NY Times article on Chassidic yeshivas, many Jews are speaking out. Note that not all are religious—it’s just that they recognize antisemitism when they see it. The danger is real, with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party pushing a socialist, anti-religion agenda. It is not far-fetched to imagine yeshivas threatened with closure, if they don’t agree to a dictat of impossible and improper changes to the curriculum.

If you’re wondering where you can see these responses to the hit piece, the place to be is Twitter. Here are two of my favorite responses:

Stalin also used yiddish to make his agenda more accessible.

Before you even get to the article, NYT’s headline is already bad: “In Hasidic Enclaves, Private Schools Flush With Public Money.” This plays on the trope of Jews as greedy and unethical with money.
