[Ita Symons], the chief executive of an Orthodox Jewish housing association, has said she “never gave a moment’s thought” to the possibility of losing a discrimination case launched against it:
Agudas Israel Housing Association, who are based in Stamford Hill, were accused of breaking equality laws after listing a property which was specifically for members of their religious community.
A family who wanted to bid on new flats, which were purpose-built for the Orthodox population, were told they were unable to because consideration was only given to Orthodox Jews.
They took the housing association to court on the grounds that housing should be provided on the basis of need, not religion. The family’s lawyer said they plan to appeal the decision.
They argued that it was “direct discrimination of a very scarce resource, public housing” and that the case “concerned the question of whether or not it is lawful for housing to be allocated on the basis of religion, not need.”
The Orthodox community has a particular need for larger properties, as they have more children than average, and need to live close to Kosher shops, synagogues and Jewish school…
Mrs Symons, who founded the charity in 1986, said: “Our lawyers said we had a clear case, because of two things – we are a charity, and the community has such particular needs that it is proportionate that we use the development for our needs.
“Luckily we were successful, because it means that we can continue our work and continue to fulfill our mission statement…
“I don’t understand why they would want to live in this project – there are Hasidic men, with their sidelocks and beards, speaking in a language which they wouldn’t understand. Why would you want to enter such a different culture?
…“The court found that what AIHA does and how it allocates properties is a proper response to the needs of the Orthodox Jewish Community.
“This is not about self-ghettoisation and AIHA does not look to exclude others. That suggestion is frankly offensive.
“The court recognised that AIHA was set up for a purpose and accepted that that purpose was to alleviate the special housing needs of the Orthodox Jewish Community which are compounded by overt and increasing anti-Semitism.”
One might be tempted to ask if there is any Christian-only housing projects in England, but that would be antisemitic. This jewish woman never worried that the court would rule against her because she has jewish privilege, and the fix was in with the judge the second he saw the yarmulkes testifying for the defense. But she’s right about one thing: who would even want to live among a bunch of alien Orthodox Jews?
But the same could be said about these Orthodox Jews themselves: why would they want to live in a traditionally White and Christian society in England?
If they want to live around only other Jews like themselves, why don’t they just move to Israel instead of demanding special rules, special housing, and special police protection? Well, why not live in England if they can get all those benefits just for raising a stink every now and then when the goyim object to their privilege?

Like most of the expulsions, their 1290 flight from England was for ritual child murder of Christians…

Since the only real discrimination – ESPECIALLY in England / Europe – these day is antiWhite, this sets legal precedence for White only enclaves and housing. Basically, allowing ‘legal’ segregation.
Oh, wait, I’m using logic and assuming consistency; I forgot who was getting special treatment here. Sorry.

One aspect of the Edict of Expulsion that the Jew does not hide is the fact that the law has never been rescinded. As Joan Comay states in Who’s Who in Jewish History After the Old Testament (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1974), under the entry for Manasseh ben Israel:
“Manasseh spent much of his life trying to find new places where the Jews might settle… In 1650 he published ‘The Hope of Israel’… the work… sparked off discussion on the possibility of the return of the Jews to England. In Manasseh’s view this would fulfil messianic prophecy. He therefore saw the success of the Puritan cause in England as a hopeful sign. He sent a petition to the Council of State in London. Cromwell favoured the petition, for practical rather than messianic reasons, and invited Manasseh to England. On 31 October 1655 he appeared before the Council of State, laying stress on the economic and social advantages to be gained from re-admitting the Jews. A conference on the subject was convened, but dissolved by Cromwell when it raised obstacles under popular pressure. The Jews who had accompanied Manasseh to London lost hope and returned to their homes on the Continent… Manasseh returned to Holland in October 1657, deeply distressed at what he considered the failure of his mission… Although Edward l’s 1290 Edict of Expulsion was not formally revoked as Manasseh had hoped, the resumption of open Jewish worship achieved the same practical result. The Edict has actually not been revoked to this day.”
In 1981, Comay† wrote in another book, The Diaspora Story (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London):
“To this day the expulsion decree… has not been cancelled, nor has there been any formal enactment permitting Jews to return to England and live there…”
Enforcement or public discussion of the law does not contravene the Race Relations Act. To say that the Jew residing in England is an illegal alien is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of fact. It is a point of law.
† Colin Jordan notes that Comay, wife of the one-time Israeli Ambassador to the U.K., confuses Edward the 1st and Edward the Confessor

There is nothing more quintessentially “British” than an Orthodox Jew trying to avoid all contact and interaction with his surrounding community. The only positive thing about this legalized jewish ghetto is that White British people are very unlikely to inter-marry with these Jews.

Classic case of ‘white’ privilege. At least that will be the lean if this article incites public scrutiny. Otherwise, just more jewish hypocrisy. It should not only be expected, but accepted…so nothing to see here. Business as usual.
Shoah business, that is…
