Antisemitic incident in the US: Man injured in accident refuses treatment from Haredi rescue teams

An antisemitic incident in New Jersey: A man injured in a car accident refused medical treatment from volunteers of the "Hatzalah" organization because they were Haredi. Additional volunteers who arrived at the scene, paramedics, and a nurse at the hospital were also Haredi, and he continued to refuse. Volunteer Buki Klushiner described the incident and delivered a sharp message about the absurdity of blind hatred.

Another antisemitic incident was recorded over the weekend in New Jersey, when a person injured in a car accident refused medical treatment from the emergency teams of the "Hatzalah" organization that were called to the scene, because they were Haredi. The details were revealed by Buki Klushiner, a volunteer in the organization. According to him, the injured man hurled at him: "Bring me the real rescue forces - I don't want 'your kind' touching me." Hatzalah volunteers respected his refusal and called the local ambulance services. Two volunteers from the "Toms River" rescue services who arrived at the scene were also Haredi Jews, and the injured man refused them just the same. Paramedics who arrived at the scene were also Haredi, as was the nurse who treated him at the hospital. Klushiner delivered a sharp message about the absurdity of blind antisemitism, and wondered whether the patient was more concerned about his injuries or the religion of his rescuers.
