Not at all surprised. Ultra-Orthodox Jews are a bunch of sick fuckers with really sick ideas about how the world works. In the U.S., most of them are Trump voters.
This is not a criticism of Judaism any more than me saying that the Jehovah’s Witnesses are a bunch of sick fuckers with sick ideas about how the world works is a criticism of Christianity.
Yeah, religious extremists and regressives of all sorts tend to these sorts of horrors. Thankfully, the civilized world has become a lot more secular in the past centuries.
Even so here are still hundreds of millions of people living under governments with religious laws that enforce, enable and perpetrate these kinds of atrocities.
Their ideas are not compatible with the modern world and this is the result.
