NEW YORK (VINnews) — New York State Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein released a powerful video on Sunday, highlighting the position the New York jewish community finds itself in at the moment.

Eichenstein says he spent the last week attempting to work in good faith with the Governor’s senior officials to create a path forward for the community in the face of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
But rather than finding success in his efforts, Eichenstein says he has found that the Governor only stepped up his rhetoric and tactics against the orthodox jewish community.
In addition, Eichenstein says, Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio are engaged in a long standing petty ego war, which continues to hinder efforts to help the city’s progress.
But even worse, Governor Cuomo has now used his national platform to spew his hate-driven messaging, going as far as to call Coronavirus an “orthodox jewish issue,” accusing the jewish community of not being willing to follow the rules, and entertaining anti-Semitic tropes such as calling the jewish community a “politically powerful community.”
With such incendiary language, says Eichenstein, Cuomo is “shamelessly stoking the embers of anti-semitism.”
Watch the video below for Eichenstein’s full message.
Eichenstein is correct with every word and still i disagree with him.
Cuomo the ego maniac that he is wont budge an inch. He is enjoying every minute of the Covid-19 saga. Never was he able to use the power that he has.
Cuomo must be recalled for his actions.
Cuomo cares nothing about life and death.
Cuomo cares about Cuomo and Cuomo.
He cares more about teaching De Blasio a lesson than anything else.
Cuomo is the definition of selfish careless sorry excuse of a human being.
Rabbi Eichenstein, Too little Too late. You can go back on your vacation.
I would have thought he was acting to save Jewish lives.
I appreciare the warning. But questions remain.
Id like to know why – If they tried so hard to talk to the governor- our elected officials in BP had a chance to do just that but refused to be on yesterdays conference.
Why are you allowed to speak out and the average Jew can’t protest the racist treatment at the hands of anti-Semites? Why did you condemn the protest where Jews expressed their anger at the Coumo’s and DeBlasio’s targeting our communities?
PCR is not a diagnostic tool“If they could find this virus in you at all, and with PCR if you do it well you can find almost anything in anybody. It’s starts making you believe in the sort of Buddhist notion that everything is contained in everything else, right I mean cause if you can amplify one single molecule up to something which you can really measure, which PCR can do, then there’s just very few molecules that you don’t have at least one single one of in your body. OK. So that can be thought of as a misuse of it, just to claim that it’s meaningful….Those tests are all based on things that are invisible and the results are inferred in a sense. PCR is separate from that. It’s just a process that is used to make a whole lot of something out of something. It doesn’t tell you that you are sick and it doesn’t tell you that the thing that you ended up with really was going to hurt you or anything like that.”
Kary Mullis, Inventor of the PCR, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, talking about PCR and how it should not be used as a diagnostic tool for HIV. Mullis died last year before the start of the COVID-19 crisis.
Cuomo is an antasemit because he wants to save lives in NY. If he allowed the deadly epidemic to spread you’d also be calling him an antasemit. Charedi in Willy, BP and Eretz proud to fillow the Rebbe with no mask, but not smart to care about their own kollel and fellow citizens, and fellow humans. This is where all the ‘learning’ has taken them??? Feh.
So why are you a DemocRAT????Are you gonna leave for the Five Towns when you retire??????
The reason why it’s so easy to pick on jewish people is because many of them walk around like proud peacocks. They act like they are simply better then everyone around them. Unfortunately and Ironically the pig which in the Torah represents the animal that pretends to be kosher has become synonymous with many in our community who pretend on the surface to be God fearing, but in reality are really hateful snakes on the inside who are unappreciative of this “Christian” nation that tolerates them. Dont think that goyim or gentiles dont know, or can’t read between the lines and realize what most people in this community really think of them.
Eichenstein, Yeger & Tischler violated the law by breaking into closed playgrounds! He is a fool for calling out Cuomo for lockdowns. What will he accomplish other than get him to cut more funds to yeshivas? Beyond stupid for a little attention on social media, think about that.
