Jewish Girl From Belgium Attacked

Ynetnews reports about a young Jewish girl from Belgium who got used to being called a “Dirty Jew” by Muslim classmates. No Jew should ever get used to being called a “Dirty Jew.“ The young girl speaks of the fear she has about walking on the street after being humiliated and assaulted:

“Dirty Jew – go to your country,“ they told her, grabbing her hair and slamming her head against their knees. Then they just left her there, at the sports center, not far from the school, while those who witnessed the incident quickly ran away.

The fact that this innocent Jewish girl became accustomed to Jew-hating verbal and physical abuse is not only tragic, it’s an attack on Hashem. As the Torah teaches, when Jews are victimized, G-d Himself is also a victim since we are His nation, carry His name and are His emissaries on this earth. As when Goliath was taunting the nation of Israel and the men of the country were all intimidated, King David saw Goliath’s taunts as not only an attack against the people of Israel but most importantly as an intolerable insult to the G-d of Israel. When Jews are publicly confronted by manifestations of Jew-hatred and fail to fight back, the L-rd is defamed along with our people. And obviously, not fighting back sends a powerful message to the haters and like-minded individuals that such conduct will be tolerated without consequence, most likely leading to more and possibly intensified forms of Jew-hatred in the future.

Certainly this isn’t the gravest form of attack that Jews are experiencing today, but it’s a story that has garnered international attention especially as it ties in with the recent deplorable ghetto-mentality comments of Obama’s ambassador to Belgium, who blamed the state of Israel (the victim) and the death of the Oslo “peace” process (murdered by Arab terrorism and intransigence, among other causes of death) for Muslim Jew-hatred in Belgium. The League will post an analysis of that pathetic story soon.

Regarding this particular manifestation of Jew-hatred, JDL wonders where the girls parents have been and why they haven’t been more proactive in resolving the situation. And how will Jewish leaders in Belgium respond to the growing systemic Jew-hatred among the Muslim population there? Rhetorical question-the Jewish Establishment there will do what the Establishment does the world over in fighting Jew-hatred-precious little.

The most effective response to this growing Jew-hatred malady in Belgium is a reestablished JDL chapter there and elsewhere in Europe. JDL will begin organizing in Belgium again in earnest, first at the squad level and upward from there (chapters, national leadership and coordination with our other chapters in Europe). It’s the plan we will be implementing in around the planet in 2012-with your help, BS"D. Stay tuned for details in the coming weeks.
