Tension in Gaza leads to extra measures in Belgium
The Jewish community in Belgium is receiving extra protection.
The Jewish community in Belgium is receiving extra protection due to the escalating tension which is spilling over to Belgium from Gaza. Police presence during demonstrations will also be heightened. This was decided by the new Home Affairs Minister Guido De Padt.
The concrete measures were discussed at a meeting at the Home Affairs crisis centre, organised by Minister De Padt. The impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza and consequences for Belgium were discussed and analysed.
In the police zones of Antwerp, Brussels centre, and Ukkel (Uccle, Brussels), an increase in police presence was requested to protect potential Jewish targets in Belgium.
This is on top of extra security that has already been in place for years to protect Jewish homes, shops, schools and synagogues. Security is also tighter around the Israeli embassy in Belgium.
More attacks on Jewish targets
06/01/09 - There was another attempted arson attack on a synagogue in Vorst (Brussels). The Jewish community expressed the hope that the conflict in the Middle East would not spill over into Belgium.
Incredible how the Euro media tiptoe around the central issue here.
Antwerp is probably the most Muslim city in Europe.
Several years ago I had an old college friend who worked in the American Embassy there.
He was a career military guy who specialized in Middle East issues.
Armed guards drove him to and from work each day, and his neighborhood, heavily American, was routinely swept and monitored for car bombs.
Whoops.
Bad goof.
Meant to write “Brussels,” not “Antwerp.”
So when do we in the West simply say Enough of this sh*t?
Never as long as we allow Obama Reid Pelosi Frank and the rest of the European Lite Socialists run America.....
These poeple want to turn American into Europe. Why would they act against that goal?
About a year or so ago in Spain, a commentator wrote (I paraphrase from memory):
“We Europeans are insane. We murdered 6 million Jews who, as a people, had richly contributed to European art, science, and culture. Then we replaced them with 20 million Moslems whose aim is to undermine, displace, and destroy European art, science, and culture.”
That Jewish children in Europe, after the history of the 20th century, are once again going to school in fear is atrocious. Pride is the obverse of shame. Modern Europeans have neither pride nor shame.
That’s rich — the violence is “spilling over” from Gaza to Belgium, no doubt across the long border shared by those two countries.
