So now the big question: What are the “Jews Tax” in hell?
Are these taxes imposed on us by Jews?
Or is he saying the taxes paid by the Jews?
The tweet comes from the tweet that Tarel responded to an article from Politico.
Here is a part of that Politician The article that sheds more light on “Jewish taxes” in this context:
To compete with Antisementism, Chairman of the Department of Justice, Leo Terrael, in a series of posts in his X account, slammed the Mayor Murial Boseer for “lukewarm response” for the “crisis” of antismitism in the city.
Terrael posted a back-end-off with Bossar’s office at his request to meet the mayor directly to discuss the growing antisemitism in the city-he said he said that “Jewish tax” was “Jewish Tax” against the community as an increase in security costs.
Local Jewish leaders have accepted the increase in security costs – even an organization, who focuses on security for Jewish institutions in the Washington region, told Politico that efforts to work with federal crime data teams have been stabilized due to “a rebirth of resources”.
The target and clearly promoted attack on the DC leadership renewed against the Trump administration against the district. Trump, who repeatedly floated a federal acquisition of Washington during his first administration, again saw the idea when he suggested during a cabinet meeting that “we can run DC”
In May, even after the killing of two Israeli embassy employees outside the capital Jewish Museum, the decision to focus on the country’s capital, the decision to focus on the country’s capital, sent shock waves through the local community and motivated the DC-sector Jewish religious and community centers to increase their safety equipment.
“Washington, DC has an upset increase in antisemtic violence,” Tarel wrote in a post with a photo of the initial letter sent to the mayor. “I noticed that after killing the employees of a domestic terrorist Israeli Embassy, I was being bleeding from the pavement outside the capital Jewish Museum. Members of the Jewish community are facing threatening, threatening – and in some cases, being forced to pay the ‘Jewish tax’ to feel insolent and safe.”
Tarel’s Task Force gained impact as driving force behind federal inquiry into major universities on the alleged cover-up of antisementism on its complexes, which led to significant deduction in federal funds that ignited the legal battle on the move.
Bausar has tried to play well with Trump in his second term, expecting more aggressive attacks on the city. But when a representative from the mayor’s office instructed Terrael to meet with specific officials who were working with themselves handling the questions rather than the mayor, Tarel suggested that Boser was trying to brush her.
“A lukewarm response to a crisis that demands bold leadership!” Tarel said, posting a picture of the email reaction from the mayor’s office, vowed to meet with the mayor directly and “keep the White House informed about the meeting” said.
Bausar’s office accepted, but otherwise did not respond to several requests for comments, and DOJ refused to comment further on Tarel’s posts and letters.
While Terrael repeatedly described increased security costs as “Jewish taxes”, the Executive Director of the Gesheld, the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington’s Safety Division emphasized that the word “Jews’ has not been used in our community” – but said that its potential meaning is still correct. The federation consists of large -scale Jewish communities not only in Washington, but also suburban Maryland and North Virginia.
“In the DC context, the ‘Jewish tax’ reflects a real and running cost of being a Jew in an environment, where cannot be taken for security,” Rosanthal, the rust of Gesild, said, “Jewish communities have to increase the expenditure on security infrastructure in constant threats.”
