Tel-Chai Nation

Israel, much like the fortress of Tel-Chai that Jospeh Trumpeldor fought to defend against Arab conquerors in 1920, finds itself beseiged by enemies both within and without. Terrorists, would-be friends inside and outside Israel, and even bad government officials. Here are the discussions of one proud Zionist resident on the state of the nation and abroad.


Measles epidemic in NY ultra-Orthodox communities continue

It's gotten to the point where fines had to be issued to Haredi "parents" who violated the order for vaccinating their children:
New York City health officials issued summonses to parents of three children Thursday for failing to have their children vaccinated against measles, a violation of the city’s emergency order mandating immunizations to control a surging outbreak.

The adults face civil penalties of $1,000 if an officer upholds the summons at a hearing. Health officials identified three children who were exposed to the severe respiratory virus but were not yet vaccinated by April 12, in violation of the order. Failing to appear at the hearing or respond to the summons will result in a $2,000 fine but city authorities have said they will not face criminal prosecution. The children are in three separate households.

Public health legal experts said it’s been at least a century since health authorities issued fines in connection with such violations.

Last week, the city issued the order mandating vaccinations in four hard-hit Zip codes in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg section, home to tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews and the center of a measles outbreak. Health officials confirmed 359 cases as of Wednesday— an increase of 30 cases in just two days. [...]

Earlier in the week, officials closed a Williamsburg child care program for repeatedly failing to provide access to medical and attendance records in violation of the emergency order. The order requires child care programs to exclude unvaccinated students and staff and to maintain medical and attendance records on site. That child care program reopened Thursday.
It's become so bad it even affected some El Al officials:
More than 250 El Al airlines crew members have been vaccinated against the measles after a flight attendant contracted the disease during a flight from New York.

The flight attendant, 43, was hospitalized earlier this month with the measles. On Thursday, Israeli media reported that she was in a coma with suspected brain damage due to complications from the measles virus. She had only received one shot of the measles vaccine, instead of the recommended two.

A 10-year-old boy who also contracted the measles virus on a plane ride is hospitalized in central Israel on a respirator with suspected brain damage, according to reports.

Israel’s Health Ministry ordered all local airlines to vaccinate their staff, especially those staff that come into contact with travelers, against measles.
Oh my god...if the Haredis around New York led to this, they've really done it this time, and given at least a few people an even worse case of illness than usually expected. And Bill de Blasio represents fiends like the Satmar, as though it can't get bad enough. This is an utter atrocity, no doubt intended by the overlords of the communities to take attention away from more serious issues and rub off on the Jewish community as a whole. For that, the gurus should be soundly condemned as the bad cultists they are.

    The vast majority of Orthodox Jews immunize
    their children, as recommended by doctors.

    Satmars who refuse to immunize their children
    do not represent Orthodox Jews;
    they MIS-represent Orthodox Jews!

    Orthodox Jews must unite to punish Satmar
    for their stupidity and wickedness.

    It is the Satmars and the Neturei Karta
    who ruin the Salute to Israel Parade
    with signs that attack Israel.

    Satmars and the Neturei Karta are lunatics
    who must be stopped and permanently disbanded
    by any means possible - the sooner the better.
