Antwerp rally features call to ‘slaughter the Jews’

[King_David]

Demonstration part of wave of anti-Semitic incidents in Western Europe

Dozens of men at an anti-Israel demonstration in Antwerp shouted slogans about slaughtering Jews.

Approximately 500 people attended Saturday’s protest in the capital of Belgium’s Flemish region, where one of the speakers used a loudspeaker to chant a call in Arabic that means “slaughter the Jews.”


The demonstration against Israel’s assault on Hamas in Gaza happened amid a wave of anti-Semitic attacks in Western Europe that coincided with the Israeli actions, and one day before a similar demonstration in Paris escalated into what European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor called an “attempted lynch” outside a local synagogue.

The Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism filed a complaint for incitement to violence against participants and organizers of the Antwerp demonstration, dozens of whom were recorded making the calls.

2. Unfortunately, anti-Semitism has deep roots in Europe.

Pretty deep roots in the U.S. as well, for that matter.

As for the percentage of population, I have no idea. They do seem to get more than their share of hatred, though.
