Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg on child abuse in fundamentalist Orthodox Judaism (pizzagate)

submitted ago by garouwarrior

Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg of Brooklyn's Satmar Hasidim fundamentalist branch of Orthodox Judaism describes a "child-rape assembly line" among sects of fundamentalist Jews:

Quote from the article (unbelievable statistics!):

Rabbi Rosenberg believes around half of young males in Brooklyn's Hasidic community—the largest in the United States and one of the largest in the world—have been victims of sexual assault perpetrated by their elders. Ben Hirsch, director of Survivors for Justice, a Brooklyn organization that advocates for Orthodox sex abuse victims, thinks the real number is higher. "From anecdotal evidence, we're looking at over 50 percent. It has almost become a rite of passage."

A few weeks after that interview, a Brooklyn man, Meilech Schnitzler, threw bleach on the man's face and ended up in the hospital. He was able to avoid jail time by agreeing to a plea deal that gave him just 5 years of probation:

What a freaking travesty! No wonder so many people think law enforcement and the courts are such a complete joke!

This is such a sad story. Someone needs to form a group that speaks to these boys to come forward, otherwise it will not stop. That is their fear, being outed. They are secure and feel safe, it is time to change that. I know there is shame for the abusers, and they may be shunned by members, but they will keep so many others from the same heinous crime.

Even if the victims came forward, what are the police and courts going to do?

From what I see, NOTHING...

The police have been protecting them for a long time.

Think of the their "holy book", which is the Talmud, not the Bible, that advocates child rape both male and female.

They have made the sexual mutilation of infant boys a standard practice, though it has no medical validity and is harmful on many levels.

People have posted this article and others like it on VOAT many, many times, only to have it swiftly removed. They want to make sure that people only blame "Satanists" and "Luciferians", etc.

Googling the Rabbi's name pulled up NO mentions whatsoever in any of the national mainstream media outlets. What a surprise.

The only hits come from small, obscure websites.

There were some articles from NY Times and NY Post, but only about the guy who threw bleach on the Rabbis face!
