US joins antisemitism lawsuit against NY town for blocking housing project for ultra-Orthodox Jews
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is supporting a lawsuit against the town of Forestburgh, New York, alleging that town officials engaged in antisemitic efforts to block a housing project intended for Hasidic families.
According to the department's Statement of Interest filing, local officials and residents opposed the arrival of Orthodox Jews, with one resident stating: "Dirty money from the Jewish mafia is involved, and you wonder why Germans did what they say they did." Another email circulated among town officials warned that Hasidic Jews "take over, like locusts — killing everything they encounter, draining every last resource."
