The case is now settled. Disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, an incalcitrant predator, also targeted Orthodox Jews during his reign, validating an outcry from the Jewish community claiming their neighborhoods were being discriminated against by King Cuomo.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has released transcripts from interviews with state officials during her investigation into the then-governor, in which NYS health officials said they were confused by Cuomo’s “cluster zones.”
“Some areas met the metrics and would be called a [cluster] zone and others met the metrics and would not be called a zone,” an unnamed official told James’ investigators. “Our staff who worked for hours and hours on these metrics and then nothing would be announced, and it was very unclear as to why… they would get very frustrated.”
In other words, Andrew Cuomo, despite professing to be a man of science and claiming to only make his decisions based on the Covid-19 metrics of different areas, absolutely did target Orthodox Jews, imposing severe restrictions on the community despite the metrics not necessarily calling for it.
Disgraced King Andrew is getting his comeuppance, it’s just coming a little too late to undo the damage he willfully and purposely caused the Orthodox Jewish community.

Well duh 🙄
And he fell just like the others who targeted us
Unfortunately , much of Anti-Semitism was fueled by the anti Jewish rethoric of our former New York governor Andrew Coumo and our New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio, too. When they pointed out on the media in front of millions of people , that our Jewish communities are ignoring their Covid rules. While at the same time they were encouraging “Black Live Matters” protests, that were far more breaking the law . Time of justice has come, for the damage done, by the hate spewing words and actions, of these elected officials.
I hope Jews Learn their lesson, and vote Republican for governor this coming election. Enough is enough already with these dumb Democrats. Vote Republican already.
Just like by Pharoh, he said ‘Mi Hashem’ the punishment was swift and harsh. Let this be a lesson to all who go against Hashem or his people the punishment will come
I kept on repeatedly saying then that we have average infection rates after studying NYCs own online maps. But Jews who blame other Jews all the time commented here and on other sites, regardless of the facts, and kept on repeating that we are the source of the spread… Some of these Jewish criticizers sounded exactly like they repeating neo-Nazi propaganda. King Coumo and the MSM spread lies but so did other FRUM Jews.
Will all the people on Yeshiva World who were defending Cuomo now apologize?
(I didn’t think so…)
Savage Cuomo unbeknown to him shuttered the Shuls just 2 days before his Kvittel got signed in Heaven on הושענא רבה which couldn’t have come at worse timing for him, and indeed it ended up being signed as משפיל גאים
Needless to say, all of this applies to Australia officials responsible for having suppressed all Minjanim in Australia for 2 years running over the High Holidays
wasnt Shlomi Werdyger the Aguda chairman very tight with Cuomo as was Abe Eisner why werent they able to get to the bottom of this?
It wasn’t G-d who did it! It is us: we did it!
It’s not to late. A politician who voilates civil rights can be sued financially.
Why isnt he arrested for a hate crime?
Uhhhhh…..
Did anyone actually read the article and the quote?
“Some areas met the metrics and would be called a [cluster] zone and others met the metrics and would not be called a zone,”
Meaning, all areas designated as a cluster zone DID meet the metrics.
Nowhere in the article does it say Brooklyn etc was targeted as a zone which didn’t meet metrics making it worthy of being a zone.
Some worthy places were not also designated but that doesn’t take away from the apparently justified label these places did get. ..let’s be honest- NY frum people could care less about masks and closing shuls etc and disregarded everything so what’s the big deal.
All the article says so far that Cuomo’s clusters were inconsistent. The articles does not supply any facts to support the next paragraph that he specifically targeted Jews. Either the extracts from the reports are not quoted completely here or there are no such facts yet.

The point is that the metric is completely arbitrary. That means, choosing that a metric level X is okay – but a metric level X+1 is not okay and must be shutdown – is arbitrary. On its own, that is simply necessary – there has to be some “line” to divide the two (X okay, X+1 not okay). BUT, what appears from this report is that metric X was chosen exactly BECAUSE it met the Jewish neighbourhoods rather than for true scientific (or even simply random) reasons – otherwise, all neighbourhoods X or higher (and it seems from reports elsewhere that many had been REALLY higher) would also have been shut down.
Baltimore maven, regardless of how exactly what the article is written, I followed the map at that time and Jewish areas did NOT have higher infection than other areas that were not designated red zones. It was all political, it was indeed only because we did not care about wearing masks or closing moisdos , as you pointed out, besides for in the first two months of the pandemic, and THAT is what caused us to be placed in the red zones. Of course we didn’t care, obviously these things do NOT work as we’ve CLEARLY from the numbers. Overall, frum Jews are not stupid and we don’t fall for the sham political manauvers.
Baltimore Maven: why are you trying to confuse everyone with facts?
BaltimoreMaven – According to the laws in our sickly liberal country (fortunately for us in this case), your point won’t matter regarding a lawsuit. At the end of the day, as was shown clearly in Agudah’s suit, since the enforcement and application were discriminatory, he would certainly be able to be sued for tens of millions of dollars in losses. Why are a bunch of activists not already filing a massive class-action suit? Cuomo should rot in jail.
To clarify: I meant the cuomo should rot in Jail as a side point lol i know it doesn’t have to do with the discussed lawsuits.
Chaylev, “hate crime”?! What crime did he commit? A hate crime is a crime that is motivated by hatred; if there’s no crime in the first place then it can’t be motivated by anything.
Or did you somehow get the bizarre idea that hating people is a crime?!
Metrics….Jew targeting….women staffers….killing elderly in nursing homes…yes all these were part of Cuomo’s criminal activities.
But I stated well over a year ago that his downfall will come just for playing God. I had no doubt that would lead to his being tried and incarcerated. No-one starts up with Hashem and His People and gets away Scott free. The same will befall Fauci, Blasio, Biden, Pelosi, and all other Leftist upstarts.
Baltimore (lo) maven:
Make you a deal. Mind Baltimore’s concerns and we’ll deal with ours.
