- Belgium is home to Europe's largest Hasidic Jewish population.
But the country - like many in Europe - has seen a large spike in antisemitic attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas began on 7 October.
Some in Antwerp's Jewish community have told Sky News the rise in abuse and intimidation has made them consider leaving Belgium altogether.

It's worth pointing out that the ethnic Chinese suffered worse during COVID, they were all told to leave on social media, despite being born here.
wtf!!!!! whats that got to do with jews being discriminated and harrassed because of terror happening in another region?
@@deanb8317 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@deanb8317the point is that many other races and religions face discrimination and Xenophobia, not just Jews. It is never right no matter who suffers.
@@deanb8317 Its got to do with everything. People act like jewish communities and jews have some special political immunity.
But the truth is: alot of groups and individuals get discriminated; and still get abandoned. No one hears their please.

I know Jews in Melbourne who have left and migrated to Israel because of the Government & Police turning on the Melbourne Jewish community...most of all we are horrified at the anti semitic Penny Wong and Albanese...
People think israel = all jews... but then say hamas is not = all muslims
Many muslim people on prime TV have called Hamas actions war crimes and unacceptable. A part from english channels, I am yet to hear a single jew say what israel is doing are war crimes and unacceptable, on the contrary... Same in the youtube comments.... It does not justify antisemitism but may help explain it
@Nicolas-rg1zl literally every pro-israel person ive heard has asked for an end to the war after hostages are freed, which is remarkably nice considering we cant bring the 1200 people back that hamas killed
Because Jews insist that they are one & the same. Hamas doesn't
@@Nicolas-rg1zl there are a growing number of Jews going on free Palestine marches these days, They object to Israel doing war crimes in their name.
@@Nicolas-rg1zlthey start with calling it war crimes and then they start mincing their words and turning it around on Israel
"The public almost automatically associates Jews and Israel. The press continues to refer to "the Jewish State." Israeli politicians often speak "in the name of the Jewish people." Yet the Zionist movement and the creation of the State of Israel have caused one of the greatest schisms in Jewish history."
Yakov M. Rabkin, professor of history at the University of Montreal, 2006.
Duh I wonder why? 🤔
The Hebrew term for "Jewish People" is literally "AM ISRAEL", so maybe it isn't the fault of the public that this association exists?
They also associate black with Africa
Nah, this is completely false. Israel is literally mentioned over 40 times in the Koran as being promised to the Jews, whereas Palestine is never mentioned ruined once.
That might be because Jews are indigenous to Israel duh just like Africans come from Africa & arabs from Arabia
Always playing the victim. Yet are the worse culprits

They genuinely are being victimized just for being jewish, facts are facts. They have nothing to do with Israel.

The take home message of all this is that Belgium would have been better off remaining the dedicated homeland of the Flemish and the Walloons. Perhaps they could have tolerated a small Jewish community if it had been to their benefit to do so. Migration from elsewhere, particularly outside Europe, has destroyed Brussels just as it has done much of London, Marseilles and Paris. Squabbles between Jews and Arabs over whose God is more bloodthirsty should have nothing to do with Europe and Europeans.
Why on earth are governments allowing this to happen to their citizens in this day and age??????? How can a Jewish person living out of Isreal be responsible for what is happening in Gaza?????? This is seriously not acceptable😢
How many Jews in Antwerp came out and opposed Israel ?

The public isn't blind. They notice that the vast majority of jews worldwide support Israel. Only a very miniscule handful or jews have spoken out against or protested against the the genocide and the baby-killings.
I agree . THe moment we take side and believe everyone on the other side is bad or wrong, it is dangerous and not objective . In every community and country , there are good people with good intentions and bad people with bad intentions. I have jew friends and Palestinian friends . And I love them all! Where I stand is, I want peace for everyone. We all deserve to live in safety and freedom.
it’s not antisemitism - it’s anti Netanyahu and west bank settlers. when the ICC actually does its job, backed by the US, Israel will have to remove all illegal settlements, leave Gaza and agree to a two state solution. Jews aren't Netanyahu, and Palestinians aren't Hamas.
Israel already left Gaza in 2005, and what happend then?

@@sn1190 I know the history. Arabs who immigrated to the sliver of land from Egypt and Syria, many recently in the 1900s decided to rename themselves Palestinians in the 1960s and create false claims to land that most of them never owned. This group, with help from their neighbors, waged war on multiple occasions, rejected multiple peace agreements and even spread war and chaos into Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Kuwait.

I assume the Anti-Semitic attacks are not coming form the native Belgium Community, but from the ARab and Muslim Communities? The REporter in this Video and other Journalists should be doing interviews and stories on the hate of Jews in the Arab and Muslim Communities of Belgium. Those attacking Jews should be arrested as well as getting deported.

Only in Western Europe when they brought millions upon millions of jihadists who flee their failed jihad dictatorship countries who brought nothing but terror, close zones, pain and suffering. So lucky indeed

Do people know that ashkenaz are not descendants of the israeli grouping that contain Judah and are descendants of Japheth, Shems brother. Even the language of Hebrew was created by Japheths brother Eber. Through geneology Ashkenaz are related to Pontic-Caspian steppes via Gomer. People should stop thinking religion is superstition, it s explainable. YHWH Tetra Grammaton. the grammar of four, it is the structure of the language the Lord speaks, God is the body of the Lord that is following the structure of the language. If one looks at a mirror ,your image is born, In Genesis we are born in gods image. with the structure of the language that YHWH breathed into man. The word of the lord we are to follow. To be conversant with the word, one becomes Theos. Its all woo, yet it does not change what is written within scriptures, it changes your understanding of what is written.
Keep practicing politcorrectness . Well done .

They do not need to feel frightened, Christian Europe and the USA, all decent Christian people, will stand by Israel and our Jewish friends!
Why should Jews be frightened in their own homeland when the Quran states that Allah gave all of Palestine to the Jews? All the Palestinians need to do is to read their own Quran. All of Palestine is Israel's, according to Allah. Read it yourself and go argue with Allah.

Your right.....the British also created Jordan, Pakistan and set the borders for Iraq and Egypt. Shall we just ignore all that too?
