Over the weekend, a non-Jewish crash victim repeatedly refused help from Orthodox paramedics in Toms River, a township in Ocean County, N.J., located near Lakewood, N.J.

Hatzalah volunteer Booky Kaluszyner posted about the incident, saying he was dispatched to the site of a car crash in Toms River and noted that the vehicles involved in the crash belonged to non-Jews. When he approached one of the victims, the man said, “Get me the real 911. I don’t want your kind touching me,” according to Kaluszyner’s Facebook post.

Hatzalah then called 911, but the two emergency responders who showed up at the scene were also Orthodox Jews. The man said, again, “Get me the real 911. I don’t want your kind touching me,” Kaluszyner said, forcing the paramedics to wait for community security officers (CSOs) to arrive and assess the patient. After assessing his condition, the CSOs requested paramedics.

Remarkably, the third set of paramedics were also Orthodox Jews: “Two Hasidic paramedics with beards and payos sticking out!” as Kaluszyner described it.

But the story didn’t end there. When the car crash victim finally arrived at a nearby hospital, the nurse attending to his injuries was also Orthodox.

In his post, Kaluszyner highlighted the blind Jew hatred that prevented a person from seeking his own self-interest and accepting emergency medical treatment from people who had dropped everything to help him just because they belonged to the wrong religion.

“You have to wonder whether the patient is more concerned about his injuries or the religion of the people trying to save his life!” Kaluszyner wrote. “And that’s the sad reality of what hatred can do to a person.”

“Imagine being so consumed by hatred toward your Orthodox neighbors that you’re willing to delay your own medical care rather than allow one of them to help you,” he added.

“These are people who dropped whatever they were doing, left their families, their jobs, and their dinner tables to come help a complete stranger, without asking what religion that person practices. When hatred becomes more important than your own health and safety, perhaps it’s time to ask yourself who that hatred is really hurting,” he concluded.
