Joods Actueel editor-in-chief Michael Freilich said the incident is particularly alarming because it comes amid a string of recent incidents which involved boycotts against Jews in Belgium since the start of Israel’s attack on Hamas in Gaza on July 8.

Since then, an Orthodox Jewish woman was refused service at a clothes store in Antwerp, and police removed a sign in French and Turkish from a café near Liege which said dogs were allowed but Zionists and Jews were not.

In WW2 Britain, all Germans were interned.....even some German Jews who had sought refuge from the Nazis.

Conflict does that to people...They become irrational and lump everyone into the same classification whether 'English' because of English football holigans, or 'Irish' because of the IRA.

I suggest you grow up and realise the world's population is not perfect.

I don't think lying back enjoying and accepting AntiSemitism is ever a solution.

If that's the case I will never grow up no matter if anyone minimized excused or justify's antisemitism , Jews don't do this.

My point is that there will always be extremists who are prepared to abuse a whole class of people simply because some of that class are involved in a murderous conflict. This applies to all races/nationalities including the right-wing Israeli abuse of Arabs.

Instead of posting every anti-Semitic article you can find, wouldn’t it be better to work for the elimination of ALL racial/nationalistic abuse? Most of the world condemns anti-Semitism including just about everyone on DU......Do you really need to constantly remind DU members that there are extremists in the world?

it's the fact that you clearly regard these incidents as more important and urgent than the deaths of civilians in Gaza.

Or even read everything I post.
Why does what I post affect anyone else unless it's something they prefer not be seen or illuminated?
There is an ignore button.

but I do it for the good of all mankind.

Carry on then.
Because I have no problem with your posts.

Was actually fighting the nazis. Belgium is not at war with Israel last time I checked.

But your post is quite disgusting. It excuses such incidents like anti arab violence post 9/11 and the burning of an Arab by settlers recently.

they do here.

Speaking to her son, Hershy Taffel, the doctor reportedly said: “Send her to Gaza for a few hours, then she’ll get rid of the pain.”

Taffel said he believed the physician knew he and his mother are Jewish but the doctor in question told the De Morgen daily: “I did something stupid, but I did not know the patient was Jewish or I would have never mentioned Gaza.”

He had been watching footage of Gaza before Taffel called, he said, and was “feeling emotional.”

The report did not say how the doctor’s emotional reaction to the Gaza fighting would otherwise explain his refusal to treat Klein.

Fascinating.

I am sure that they would be aghast at being occasionally refused service by an intemperate doctor.

You often say that one should not compare the Palestinians plight with the holocaust. That is appropriate and fair. However, you should equally not try to compare these sorts of incidents to the death and suffering endured by the gazans today. The two things are not equal in gravity or importance.

No such comparison is being made - certainly not by me.

I don't believe that I have ever seen or heard about that on DU.
