A report from i24NEWS offers a rare look inside Belgium's most dangerous neighborhoods, highlighting a growing climate of terror and antisemitism. The Belgian Jewish community, numbering 40,000 primarily in Brussels and Antwerp, reports a significant decline in security and an increase in physical attacks. Jews feel safe only if they do not criticize Israel. Rabbi Menachem Margolin, who manages "The House" in Brussels, a hidden center for anti-antisemitism organizations, stated that authorities lack understanding or interest in combating the issue, noting he faces personal attacks for his work. Amnon Ohana, a 16-year resident, was attacked with his daughter by migrants at a Bruges train station, with police offering no assistance. Bystanders observed general Belgian support for the Palestinian cause and opposition to ties with Israel.
Recent data indicates a disturbing rise in antisemitism in Belgium, with hundreds of incidents reported in the past two years, a sharp increase from previous years. Flemish Parliament member Philippe de Winter described Belgium as undergoing "Islamization," lamenting that the once safe and enjoyable city has become "Brusselistan," particularly in the Molenbeek neighborhood, which is 80% Muslim. Belgian Parliament member Sam van Roy stated that polls show a growing majority of Belgians, estimated at 60-70%, are critical of mass immigration due to the problems it creates.
