Welcome to Christchurch New Jersey

We're only a short step away --

Woman who wears hijab told to ‘go back to your f****** country’ in incident caught on video
Updated 11:59 AM; Today 11:16 AM

By Terrence T. McDonald | The Jersey Journal

"A Muslim Jersey City woman who wears a hijab was told to “go back to your f***ing country” by a woman who was blocking her driveway outside School 23 in an incident that was caught on video last month.

The woman lives on Romaine Avenue, which is across the street from the pre-K through 8 school named for Mahatma Gandhi. She told The Jersey Journal she began filming her interactions with people who park on the street and block her driveway because they began to get hostile."

...

"“There’s no crime talking,” the woman says, before addressing someone off camera. “She’s taking a picture of my s***. Her stupid a**. Somebody block the thing, I said sorry, she’s still complaining."

That’s when the woman yells at the resident: “Go back to your f***ing country” twice, later adding another profanity generally aimed at women.

The resident wears a hijab. She asked not to be identified because she’s afraid the woman will retaliate against her."

Let's take a ride in the "Way Back" with Professor Peabody and Sherman --

"In the first week following the annexation, Jews had to face an outburst of brutality, outright violence and plundering of their assets. Jewish women were forced to scrub political slogans from the previous Austrian government with their bare hands or with toothbrushes off sidewalks, Jewish children to write the word "Jud" on the windows of their fathers' shops, orthodox Jews were pulled around by their beards, Jews at the Prater Stern had to lie down and eat grass. These attacks ended soon, but more and worse was to come. By mid-June, Jews had already been removed from public life, more thoroughly than in the five years of Nazi government in Germany. Tens of thousands of Jewish employees had lost their job. Hundreds of Jews committed suicide."

"The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well."

"We're off to see the wizard. The wonderful wizard of Oz."

This is a fractured fairy tale of a nation if ever there was one. IMO.
