New Jersey sues town for discrimination against religious Jews
More proof that Jews need to return to Israel.
New Jersey sued one of its towns Tuesday over two recent ordinances the state says illegally targeted a Jewish community from nearby New York, likening the conduct of town officials to the “1950s-era white flight suburbanites” who sought to keep blacks out of their neighborhoods.
The lawsuit against Mahwah and its township council seeks to block the ordinances and the return of more than $3.4 million in state grants the town has received from the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The state contends Mahwah violated New Jersey’s Green Acres Act by banning out-of-state residents from its parks. The state notes that land acquired under the law cannot be restricted on the basis of religion or residency.
One of the measures cited in the suit limits the use of a public park to state residents. The second effectively bans the building of an eruv, a religious boundary created by placing white plastic piping on utility poles.
“In addition to being on the wrong side of history, the conduct of Mahwah’s township council is legally wrong, and we intend to hold them accountable for it,” Attorney General Christopher Porrino said.

The towns behavior is disgusting but stop with the Aliyah nonsense because Jews could do this to other Jews too.
Aliyah should be for positive reasons and not as to excuse bigotry.
The fact is this town views anyone having more then a few children and married as some how foreign to the American Culture. Many of the comments sound almost identical to what some say about Muslims.
But what has happened that now being married and having children as somehow anti-American. Behind this hate are people that are self destructive.
