Belgium

It’s not uncommon to see camouflage on the high street in Belgium. It is a peculiarly Belgian reflex: when the state feels the strain, it reaches for the army.

This week, the federal government has done so once more. Soldiers have been deployed to bolster security around Jewish sites and neighbourhoods in Brussels and Antwerp, following a spate of clumsy but troubling attacks across Belgium and the Netherlands. Synagogues have been targeted with arson and a Jewish school struck by an explosion. Mercifully, no one has been injured and the damage has been minor. Yet the intent is clear, and the authorities have been quick to identify the incidents as anti-Semitic acts.

Monday, March 23rd saw soldiers deployed on Belgian streets, initially in Brussels and Antwerp. The initial three-month commitment will involve 200 soldiers, tasked with protecting Jewish community sites. Operations will be extended to Liège, including military backing for the railway police—and for large-scale integrated police operations (FIPA).

While the troop contingent will guard synagogues and schools, part of its assignment also includes working against the Kingdom’s burgeoning narcotics trade, especially in the capital.

The Free University of Brussels (ULB) has been making headlines in Europe. Law students decided to name their class after Rima Hassan, a French Islamist politician known for her anti-Semitic positions and her apologetics for Hamas and other terrorist organizations. That decision came against the backdrop of countless attacks and threats targeting Jewish students on the Brussels campus.

Has the ULB become a breeding ground for Islamist and anti-Semitic hatred in Europe?

You can no longer organize even a European conference of conservatives. You can no longer celebrate Christmas and Easter at school.You can no longer walk around certain neighborhoods without a headscarf.

In the world first imagined and then built by multiculturalists, everything is permitted, except defending the values ​​that made liberal Western society possible.

The British government’s anti-extremism program, Prevent, has ordered civil servants to treat “cultural nationalism” – the idea that “Western culture is threatened by mass migration and the lack of integration by ethnic and cultural groups” – as the ideology of “far-right terrorism”.

So, if you don’t want multiculturalism, Islamization and uncontrolled immigration to change the face of your culture and society, you are a “psycho-criminal” to be monitored (and punished).

Over the last month, we’ve seen an attack on Governor Josh Shapiro’s home, the killing of a young couple in D.C., and now a Molotov cocktail thrown at people peacefully protesting. By the way, what do these incidents have in common? The targets are all Jewish and the guy in Boulder, Colorado somehow managed to get a work permit after his visa expired.

Where else is stuff like this happening? Let’s check out Brussels, once a very traditional European city that tourists loved to visit. Well, check again because Brussels may be exhibit A of Europe’s disintegration and where uncontrolled immigration is running wild.

Leon de Winter: “Hamas wanted to convince young people that the massacre of Jews was not a crime, but a consecration of the Prophet and that robbery and rape were permitted means of struggle.”

“If we look at what is happening in Belgium there is reason to fear the emergence of an emirate in the heart of a contrite Europe, blinded by guilt and cowardice”, the Algerian novelist Kamel Daoud has just denounced in the weekly Le Point.

And even Jean Quatremer, the historic Brussels correspondent of Libération, goes so far as to say: “Belgium capitulates and has truly become the advanced base of political Islam”.

Now comes a scoop to confirm it.
