The Belgian antisemitic Presidency of the European Union just began (Guest post by Rudi Roth)

By Dr. Rudi Roth




 

Now that Belgium has taken over the Presidency of the European Union, we can observe a very dangerous evolution in Europe for the Jewish people. 

 

Some Belgian Flemish leftist politicians, who do not have a legal majority but are in power, want the Jewish state, Israel, to fall under an international investigation for genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. 

 

Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation Caroline Gennez has called on the Belgian government to support the South African submission before the ICJ. She is a member of Vooruit, the Flemish Socialist Party, and has been well-known as an Israel-hater since 2002 (at the 2002 Eurovision song festival, she wantedpublicly to give zero points to Israel.

 

Gennez is also known for having released several million euro to Palestinian NGOs with clear links to terror groups. Today she compared the war Israel conducts against Hamas to the horrors committed by Nazi Germany, perhaps a mental heritage from what some Flemish Nazi collaborators did in 1942 against the Jews.  But Germany is much wiser than Gennez or her ancestors.

 

Should there be one political party in Europe that should keep a low profile on genocide, it would be the Flemish Socialist Party. The scandalous comparison of Israel's war in Gaza with the Nazi genocide is in itself pure Holocaust denial, and it should shame her even more! It was Flemish Socialist Minister of Foreign Affairs, Willy Claes, in charge during the genocide of around one million Tutsis in Rwanda, who knew what was about to happen and enforced the withdrawal of first the Belgian UN blue-helmet paratroopers and later of all UN troops; it allowed the genocide without any disturbance. It was his Cabinet that, according to declassified U.S. documents, did hide the importance of the ongoing genocide.

 

Becoming NATO Secretary General, Willy Claes ended up being the only one in the history of NATO to resign, given the corruption accusations. However, he was the first to criticize the Jews and explained that their Holocaust moral credit (6 million deaths) was decreasing because of the 2014 Gaza conflict. He was, despite the corruption and his responsibility in the genocide of the Tutsi, despite his Jew-hatred, reinstated as a candidate for his political party. Maybe is their moral credit not worth a euro cent anymore?

 

Also worrying with the Belgian Presidency are facts related to NGOs in Belgium, fully supported by the Belgian public press or MSM and subsidized by Belgian federal or other governmental authorities. OXFAM Belgium cooperates with the agricultural affiliate of the terror group PFLP, UAWC, and whose Belgian R.V.H. was deeply involved in the sex scandals in Haiti and elsewhere. But also communist NGOs, such as Vrede or Intal, are supportive of the criminal actions of Assad in Syria or Putin in Ukraine and are dependent on public funds and distribute hate documentation against Israel and even against the Jewish community to schools. 

 

Worse in this Gaza crisis are organizations qualifying as human rights organizations: the Red Cross, as was the case in WWII when it pretended not to know about the 6 million murdered Jews, states now that it does not have information about the Jewish hostages taken by Hamas or by other Gazan organizations, despite the facts that hostages were in hospitals with a heavy Red Cross presence. 

 

Another interesting case in Belgium is Doctors without Borders. Their general manager, Ms Meinie Nicolai, already accepted in 2019 to participate in the "extra festive event" to get a peace price in Caserne Dossin, where more than 25,000 Jews and several Romas were deported to Auschwitz and murdered. Very "well-chosen" location for an "extra festive event." She also promoted on the VRT the "panic cries" of Norwegian activist physician Mads Gilbert in his fauxtographs from a Gazan hospital … in Cairo. About the October 7 cruel and criminal pogrom by Hamas and the Jewish hostages? No word… “un detail sans doute."

 

One has the right to strongly disagree with Israel's war response against Hamas in Gaza. But it is difficult to understand their position when NGOs do not see Jewish victims for what they are and when governments, such as the one taking over the European Council Presidency, have no consideration for them. Israel is on its own, but at least it is not the same situation when the Jews had no means to defend themselves, not anymore. Now that in that same Europe, Hamas supporters can claim and call for the destruction of the Jewish state, but also for the destruction of all its citizens. Where are those in power who should denounce this hate speech? Caroline Gennez? The Red Cross? Doctors without Borders? Alexander De Croo? Everybody? Somebody? Anybody? Nobody!

 

Undoubtedly, the Belgian government's behavior has shown it crystal clear: Hamas praised Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo for his November speech while he was at the Rafah border in IsraĆ«l The scene is perfectly prepared for the anti-Israel and also antisemitic Belgian Presidency of the European Union!
