A village of 44,000 predominantly Hasidic Jews in up-state New York living off the teat of welfare programs and according to Jewish Talmudic law.
99% of this village’s residents are Hasidic Jews
they speak primarily Yiddish
40% live below the federal poverty line
40-60% receiving SNAP assistance
reports estimate an average of 7 children per woman, some of the highest fertility rates in the developed world.
median age is 15 years old
almost all children attend private religious schools (yeshivas)
per capita income is $13,000 per year, which is extremely low compared to NY averages
they vote as a bloc
one of the fastest growing cities in New York
practically impossible to move into as a non-Jew
If Americans are upset about Somalis in Minneapolis NOT assimilating, and living according to “Sharia Law” while sucking the teat of welfare programs, then what’s the excuse for this religious ethno-state feeding their massive families with your secular tax-dollars?
If these Hasidic Jews can live exclusively together in their own Jewish ethno-state, then why can’t white people do it in Arkansas?

I don't recall if I've heard of this town before or not. Feels familiar.
I know there are White communities and Black communities out there too.
Also this Jew-only town of Kiryas Joel, New York and Israel are smaller in size than the other Jewish Autonomous Oblast [2], between Russia and China.
You might want to brace yourself for this:
