ANTISEMITISM IN EUROPE
The Trap and Danger of Antisemitism in Europe
Erica Zeman
Belgium, Holland and the U.K. have experienced these past four days an intensification of antisemitism.
Belgium has ordered soldiers to protect the Jewish Communities’ areas in Antwerp after an attack of a 16th year old Ultra-Orthodox boy. The Volunteer security group ‘ Shomrim’ was able to restrict the attacker and hand him over to the police. On Monday, the 13th of March a car was burned in Antwerp. The Belgian Jewish Community requested the position of a National Combat Antisemtism officer, like a government official pointed out for this purpose in Germany. So far, no one is publicly acknowledged with this task.
Holland’s Jewish community suffered two explosions near a Chabad Hebrew school in Amsterdam and near a Synagogue in Rotterdam. No fatalities were reported.
The U.K.’s Golder’s Green Jewish population experienced the antisemitic arson attack and destruction of three Hatzola ambulances on Monday the 23rd of March. The response to defy this malicious act was outstanding. Within 24 hours the Jewish, the non-Jewish communities in North -London, plus friends donated nearly 1.5 million for the replacement of their paramedic vehicles. The investigation of this antisemitic violence is in progress. Two men were arrested on Wednesday and are still under Police interrogation.
A new Islamic terror organisation, The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand, is claiming to be linked with the Iranian Regime and connected to the IRGC. According to The Times of Israel, the authenticity of this claim is still questioned and scrutinised.
Keeping the focus for a moment on this name; ‘The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand,’ the hand which described in Islamic term as the clean and noble hand, seems rather to indicate that a global intifada in the ‘module’ of 2000 & 2023 against Israel is the goal of this terror organisation. Belgian’s and the U.K. appeasement politic in accepting a Palestine State is a tool by Iranian/ Hebollah/ Hamas Supporters of governmental approval to intimidate and to spread violence.
The U.K. Government has put itself into a very compromising position. Prime Minister Starmer repeatedly emphasises that antisemitism has no place in this country, yet he does not name the aggressive Islamisation of British society as unconstitutional in its aim to destroy and defame Israel, British history, culture and democracy.The growing reputation of the Green Party as a political alternative for the coming general election is dubious in its very core. Zach Polanski emphasised that he will not stop speaking about Gaza. He and his Deputy leader Mothin Ali agreed in September 2024 in following lies as Party policy:
Israel is an Apartheid State
Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinian people.
The Green Party will support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, BDS, against Israel
Mothin Ali’s embellished reputation as anti- racist campaigner is non existent with regards to Israel. He is the example of Muslim Brotherhood’s aim to speak the language of the Western world for imminent political issues but keeping the core of destroying democracies as non negotiable in their political manoeuvre.
For the time being he ‘shares’ his political career with Zach Polanski. The latter seems to have forgotten his Jewish inheritance and his family’s history of escaping the Holocaust.
Europe’s Jewish Communities appreciate their life as Diaspora Jewish people in their chosen countries and cities. Nevertheless, the question is if the Jewish representatives can affect their societies sufficiently without force into a political ghetto situation.
