This is not going to be a populat comments but I post it anyway.
Everyone's experiences are different.
I am not Jewish, my experience with Jewish communities has been -by and large- a very positive one.
I fondly rememeber my brother and I finding refuge in the Golders Green/Brent Cross area of northwest London -where there is a large Modern Orthodox Jewish Community. It is a very safe, clean and quiet area- where my family (as people who came from continental Europe to London) were finally able to live and be left alone.
(Anyone even remotely familiar with London knows that the area in question has always been sough after by Europeas living in London).
The Chassidim Jewish usually don't reside there, howeevr, but mostly in the Stamford Hill/Cazenove neghbourhoods (east London). My limited interactions with Cassidim folks were also mostly positive.
As for this particular "tunnel" underneath a synagogue is sued for people smuggling. I find this sad, and quiet frankly, insulting to the most peaceful and genuine community in both London and NYC.
Also, do you guys really think the pedophile memebr sof the New York (not of whom are Chassidim, by the way - most Chassisim Jewish folks are not wealthy) need tunnels underneath a synagogue to smuggle people? they have the whole Child protection services with the famili court helped by foster care and adotion rockets in place? Why did tunnels when there is a whole , legal scheme in place to help you?
