Belgian media tried to make a shitstorm about my city’s jewish population after what happened in Amsterdam. Antwerp has a very large orthodox jewish population and they live pretty secluded within one of the city’s districts.
News reports came out about possible threats to their community which is strange because apart from very singular incidents none of the pro palestinian movement ever targeted them (obviously).
The community now came forward to the press themselves saying that apart from some calls on the street they are doing great actually and that this city is the place to be for them lmao.
Most of them are Hasidic jews so they don’t like zionism either
If its anything for you there like my city than the Hasidic/Orthodox Jewish people are probably some of the strongest voices in the community speaking out against genocide in Palestine. Ridiculous propaganda angle to go for, anyone actually involved in street level community would know its bullshit.
By the way there is an extraordinary falafel place in that district, on the main street, but I have trouble remembering what he thought about Israel and Zionism. This was a few years ago
I think you mean Beni Falafel. No idea what he thought about Zionism. He died three weeks ago.
