Belgian cafe sporting “Palestinian” flag allows dogs, bars Jews

Jul 27, 2014 8:07 pm By Robert Spencer

belgiancafeEurope, under the influence of its Muslim immigrants (whom its authorities are afraid to challenge or confront) is rapidly descending into a virulent Jew-hatred the likes of which has not been seen there since 1945. And unless some strong figures stand up and put a stop to it, which does not appear to be on the horizon, it will end this time much the way it did back then.

“Belgian cafe posts sign banning Jews from entering store,” by Carol Kuruvilla, New York Daily News, July 25, 2014 (thanks to Sarah):

A Belgian cafe owner is under fire for broadcasting an anti-Semitic slur in his store window.A sign in Turkish and French announced, “Dogs are allowed in this establishment but Jews are not under any circumstances,” the Jewish Forward reports. The French version of the sign replaced “Jews” with “Zionists,” according to the Jewish Forward.

The Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism (LBCA) spotted the disturbing display in the town of Saint-Nicolas on Wednesday.

Along with the sign, the cafe owners hung a Palestinian flag and a kaffieh, a Palestinian shawl. The Israeli flag was also in the window, but it was crossed out with a giant red “X”.

Saint-Nicolas’ mayor sent police to the cafe to remove the sign. But the LBCA is demanding more action.

“LBCA will file in the coming hours a criminal complaint with the Liege prosecutor over the actions of those responsible for this violation of the July 30 law against racism and xenophobia of 1981,” LBCA told the Forward in a statement.

The incidence bore a chilling resemblance to another reported act of anti-Semitism that occured in Belgium last week. An Orthodox Jewish woman claimed that a shop owner in Antwerp refused to sell her merchandise “out of protest.” An employee of the store told Joods Actueel, a Jewish Daily, that the shop had temporarily decided not to sell to Jews, although the CEO denies this.

The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Italy have confirmed a rise in anti-Semitic protests and violents over the past few days over the conflicts in Gaza.

“Anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostility against Jews, attacks on people of Jewish belief and synagogues have no place in our societies,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, France’s Laurent Fabius and Italy’s Federica Mogherini said in a joint statement issued in Brussels.

The three said that while they respect demonstrators’ freedom of speech and right to assemble, they will also do everything possible to fight “acts and statements that cross the line to anti-Semitism, racism and xenophobia.”

Since the outbreak of violence between Israel and Hamas, participants at anti-Israel demonstrations across Germany have frequently used anti-Semitic slogans and also called for Jews to be gassed — a reference to the killing of Jews by the Nazis in the Holocaust.

In France, pro-Palestinian youths have clashed repeatedly with police, and on Sunday set fire to cars, pillaged stores and attacked two synagogues in the Paris suburbs, while Italy has also seen pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

Jewish groups have expressed shock and disgust about the growing anti-Semitism in Germany and other European countries with strong Muslim communities.

“We have reached a new level of hatred and violence in all of Europe that cannot even be compared to the anti-Semitism seen during previous conflicts in Israel,” said Stephan Kramer, director of the European office on anti-Semitism of the American Jewish Committee in Brussels.

    If this had happened in Britain then maybe the shop owner would have gotten a year in jail like the couple who put bacon on the door handle of mosque.
    Or maybe not.

    Most Jews will leave Europe. Some will come to Israel and strengthen it, others will go to N.America, Australia etc. Europe will become poorer in human resources and still be stuck with the greatest threat they have faced since the black plague!

    I do think many European leaders understand that now and are scared out of their minds (barn doors, horses…) and even a big chunk of the Europeans (the real ones, meaning the non-muslims) but they are not there yet.

    As for the Jews, pinning their problems on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and this or that war with them, is stupid. Their situation in Europe started deteriorating long ago and was going in the exact same direction because of the Muslims anyway. It’s a pity they have to face this wave of Islamonazi hate to understand that, to really face the truth.

    Once most of the Jews are gone, the Islamic mania will be turned on the rest which has actually been happening for YEARS now.

    The world is totally going towards a WW3.

    Well, I respect Starbucks’ CEO stating that opponents of same-sex marriage aren’t welcome in his stores. I just won’t buy a coffee or dessert from Starbucks.

    Now I know there’s a cafe in Belgium where I won’t go.

      Does any police, or a police superior, or mayor, or Pm, or anyone in Europe, does anyone dare go to the restaurant and order to, or remove the sign immediately.? NO00000000 …. why because there is no honor in Europe. EU just get more invaders.

    The second world war couldn’t rid Europe of it’s own rank anti-Semitism. Muslims that have flooded the continent over the last several decades are simply more open and honest regarding their Jew hatred. Victor Davis Hanson nails it in this paragraph from Pajama Media.

    http://pjmedia.com/victordavishanson/why-is-the-world-becoming-such-a-nasty-place/?singlepage=true

    Speaking of Jews, mobs of Middle Easterners in the streets of Europe are calling for the destruction of Israel, and at times the completion of the final solution — 70 years after it played out in the streets of Europe. We are told Europeans are worried as these demonstrations become more virulent. But we are confused whether Europeans are worried that their guests are premodern — or instead worried that the world senses their guests are saying things that they would like to say but cannot (yet).

    The governments in all these European countries need to act and act now. The pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas protestors are breaking laws left, right and centre and no one is being arrested (except, usually, the people they are protesting AGAINST). There is not one set of laws for one group and one set of laws for everyone else. I don’t think sharia law is the ‘law of the land’ in any of these countries so therefore the actual laws of the country should be upheld and these criminals need to be arrested and held accountable. How many shops, synagogues, churches, homes, cars etc have to be destroyed before anything is done about it? And this cafe in Belgium? I’m sure Belgium has hate speech laws… this is a hate speech case and they should be charged as such. Just telling them to remove the sign isn’t good enough. But I guess if it was a Jewish owned business and they put up a sign saying that Palestinians and their supporters weren’t welcome, they would be charged so fast their heads would spin!

    “…..it will end this time much the way it did back then.”

    Yes, I think so too. Have the lessons of WW II been forgotten already? I find that I am needing a reminder of them myself lately. Below is a link to a good documentary about the fall of the Third Reich. While watching this I noted many similarities to some of the things going on today. I was struck by the comment at the end about the number of civilian deaths amounting to half of the total 40 million killed. I also noted the closing comments about who was to blame……and why. So tell me…. who are the ones telling the lies today and who are the ones submitting to those lies? Who are the ones who consider themselves the master race today entitled to rule all the earth….. and who is enabling them? Yes, this can only end badly….and 40 million may pale in comparison to the coming body count.

    Watching this documentary will take over an hour of your time but I think it would be worthwhile. Here is the link:

    I’m no supporter of Israel but it’s been clear to me for a while that allowing hordes of a militant religion like Islam was bound to be a disastrous move.
    Long before Gaza we’ve been seeing all the signs of creeping Islamic fascism, from London to Paris and all points beyond. Just read the newspapers from the major Western European countries to see the advance of militant Islam.

    It’s more than obvious why the authorities condemn any anti-Islamic statement, but let vicious, anti-Jewish statements and actions slide.

    Basically, it’s when they take legal actions against people like Robert Spencer, they have a nice, safe encounter with a barrister in a courtroom.

    When they take legal actions against a Muslim for stating bedrock Islamic principles, they face riots, personal slander, and quite possibly personal violence. This phenomenon was noted by the developmental economist P.T. Bauer, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thomas_Bauer, who noted that when anti-criminal measures are taken by corrupt and ineffective third-world governments, the bulk of the enforcement was taken against businessmen and mainly law-abiding citizens. Basically, it was a lot safer for the police than actually taking on armed criminal gangs.

    Even the voice of reform Judaism in the United States, the Union for Reform Judaism, manages to condemn the outbreak in European antisemitism, without mentioning once the word Muslim or Islam.

    http://blogs.rj.org/blog/2014/07/15/saperstein-recent-spate-of-anti-semitic-incidents-prompts-alarm/

    Of course, reform Judaism is mired in hard-left doctrine, and could not be expected to actually recognize Islam for what it is. But, if those directly concerned cannot bring themselves to name the root cause, what can we expect from European governments?

    I know the place where this happened (st Nicolas) well, as my in-laws live there. This large suburb of Liège used to be the home of modest-earning workers, a lot of them from immigrant background (lots of people of Italian and Polish extraction). Not a wealthy place but a quiet, pleasant enough one. “naturally” it was also a “red one”, where people would massively vote for communist and labour politicians. +30yrs of that plus creeping unemployment plus immigration have quite changed the picture: place is now home to a mostly social welfare dependant & ageing population, slowly but surely replaced by “new” migrants that have no intention to assimilate like the previous ones did. A lot of Turkish people amongst those.
    My in-laws, who should really know better (one of them being born of Polish Jews who met in Nazi camps) are still deluded about the evolution. They don’t believe anymore in the “religion of peace” craptalk, but think that living amongst the Muslim invader makes their home relatively safe (“they don’t want to spoil their area or attract police attention too much, do they? “). Not realising that if things follow the same pattern as in other, larger Muslim areas, their last year’s might well be made miserable just in order to get them out and force them to sell their house at the cheapest price…
    Sad. Am very happy to have left the country (as long as politicians are “playing blind” and considering us patriots and islamoskeptics the bad guys there is little else to do), I just hope that the degradation of things on the continent helps the citizens of my new country to open their eyes before they make too much of the same mistakes…

    The Jews of Europe–and not just of Europe–had better start arming themselves NOW, before it’s too late; and their rabbis need to start educating their congregations about the history of Europe in the 1930s–about how the early stages of the Holocaust didn’t seem too “dangerous” at the time — just “a few reasonable regulations,” like wearing a yellow star, maybe a “modest restriction here and there” on Jews…and soon exploded into full-fledged genocide.

    And neighbors looked on passively, maybe even approvingly, with a smirk, as Jews were starting to be rounded up at gunpoint. “Well, it’s for their own good, after all.” Or, “Well, they knew every Jew had to change the first name on his identity papers to ‘Israel’ and his wife was supposed to change hers to ‘Sarah’ and they didn’t–so, after all, THEY BROKE THE LAW!”

    Suppose the Nazis who came for Anne Frank and her family had been greeted with a hail of gunfire from the top of that stairway to the attic, instead of finding a small group of terrified, helpless, submissive Jews with their hands up?

    Anne and her family probably would have been killed in the fight, but they were anyway — without resisting. But at least there would have been a pile of dead Nazis on the landing, too — and maybe a chance for the Franks and their friends to escape through a back alley before reinforcements could arrive.

    And if that’s what the Nazis knew they would face EVERY TIME they came for the Jews — wolves who would fight back savagely and then slip away into the shadows to fight again, instead of sheep going meekly to the slaughter — maybe it might have given them pause before going on the next raid.

    I implore my Jewish friends: Put aside your suicidal liberal/leftist political loyalties! DON’T submit! STOP worrying about “public opinion” when “public opinion” demands your extermination! Take your inspiration from the heroes of Masada and the Warsaw Ghetto, and from Benjamin Netanyahu and his martyred brother, Jonathan, not from the “liberal” politicians you idiotically elect, who will stand by passively, hands in pockets, as you’re restricted, intimidated, beaten and killed in the streets one at a time, and eventually rounded up and taken away.

    Start every day with a short history lesson, read together as a family, and a rousing “Never again!” snarled through gritted teeth!

    For God’s sake, this is no time to cling to your foolish liberal delusions, to make concessions and comply with “reasonable regulations,” to insist that “it can’t happen here.” Because it CAN, and the signs that it is are becoming clearer with each passing day.

    If a Christian or Jewish shop owner had put a no Muslims and dogs sign in his shop window, it would have been petrol bombed by a Muslim mob long before the police arrived.
    Muslim mobs rule while Christian and Jews look the other way, instead of giving the Muslims a dose of the medicine they dish out to others.

    The Israelis say “Never again!” One would think tht in Begium there’d be enough able-bodied Jewish men to go into that place and clean it out. I don’t know why this hasn’t happened. Are the European Jews still sheep?
