Indiana Jewish Organizations Join Criticism of Religious Freedom Restoration Act
EDITOR’S NOTE: This Jewish News Service dispatch is misleading and revealing on several levels: 1) It deliberately lies when it calls the ability of businesses and individuals under the new law to refuse to associate with homosexuals a “loophole.” That is not a loophole — that is the clear and obvious intent of the law, though it is a kind of last-gasp expression of what is left of traditional White America. 2) This dispatch makes clear who it is that has criminalized freedom of association in this country: the Jewish power structure.

The law, which was signed into law by Indiana Governor Mike Pence last Thursday after passing in the Republican-controlled state legislature, states that a “government entity” cannot “substantially burden” what the law describes as “a person’s exercise of religion.” However, the law has concerned many due to a perceived loophole that could allow businesses to discriminate against members of the LGBT community in the state.
“I think the law is extremely backwards. It’s like we are regressing as a society,” Michael Steinberg, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana, told The Jerusalem Post.
The Indianapolis chapter of the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) also expressed opposition, stating that the “statute will ultimately threaten religious freedom more than protect it, particularly minority communities such as ours…As members of a religious minority who have faced discrimination because of our religious practices, we deeply regret the inherent injustice this law potentially creates.”
In response to the criticism, Indiana lawmakers have unveiled a fix to the law that would prohibit businesses from using the law as a defense in court if they refused services to any customers based on “race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or United States military service,” reported CNN. The state’s House and Senate are set to vote on the legislative fix Thursday, and then send it to the governor for immediate signing.

The Jewish chutzpah here is astounding. Even though this new law would even favor their lousy community as well, since Jews consider themselves a religious minority, they instead go on the attack because the measly law may benefit any Gentiles who would like to have some of the discriminatory privileges the Jews themselves enjoy. That’s right — Jews always discriminate with or without this law and get away with it, citing religious or racial reasons all the time. They just don’t want the stupid goy to do the same!
One is first very skeptical to learn of this “new” law reviving constitutional integrity. It appears such skepticism shall be vindicated. This Religious Freedom Restoration Act restores the First Amendment which has long been lost in desuetude. All the churches still rejoice in its absence. But thanks to the North West Indiana Jewish Congress or Committee or Vigilance group this new law embodying the Ist amendment has been revealed by the perspicacious Michael Steinberg of NWJCR to be “atavistic”, undesirable or alien, un-American ,discriminatory and hurtful to minorities. They , who were in darkness now see. And alas, the North West Indiana Jewish COntrol Committee has spared the law makers and Gov. Pence in Indianapolis the embarrassment and mortification of having their irredentist law declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.… Read more »

“Extremely backwards” and “regressing as a society?” Statements like this are what foster anti-Jewish sentiment. Is this mind-boggling? Just goes to show these alien people are different from us mentally and spiritually. And judging by his photo, I wouldn’t be surprised if this Jewish supremacist control freak was a sexual deviant himself.
P.S. One more mind-boggling thing: how Jewry monitors every law that is passed or about to passed in ‘our’ State and Federal legislatures. Unbelievable!
