Belgium: Muslim terror hotline operator says of Israel: “It’s called Palestine, sir”

Mar 31, 2016 5:53 pm By Robert Spencer

“The recording’s release follows at least four recorded cases in which people who either spoke Arabic or wore Muslim traditional garb, destroyed, concealed or removed Israeli flags at an impromptu memorial space set up for the attacks’ victims at Place de la Bourse in Brussels. It features many flags, including of Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority.”

Welcome to the New Europe, which in its increasing Jew-hatred, is starting to look a great deal like the Old Europe.

“Belgium terror hotline operator says of Israel: It’s called Palestine, sir,” JTA, March 31, 2016:

An operator in Belgium’s federal hotline on the terrorist attacks in Brussels told a Jewish caller that Israel does not exist and is in fact called Palestine.

The call Thursday to the Belgian Interior Ministry’s hotline was recorded and the audio file posted on the website of Joods Actueel, a Belgian Jewish monthly.

In it, a man who presented himself as a volunteer for Antwerp’s Jewish Coordination Committee told the operator in Flemish that he was calling on behalf of two people who were injured in the March 22 attacks in Brussels and wish to be discharged as they are “being prepared to be transported to Israel.” The caller asked about the procedure for discharging them.

At least 32 people died in a series of suicide bombings last week at Zaventem Airport near Brussels and at a central metro station, which the Islamic State terrorist group said it planned and executed.

In the recording, the operator can be heard responding: “That’s actually… See… Back to Palestine.” The Jewish caller insisted: “Not Palestine, Israel,” prompting another correction by the operator, who retorted: “Yes, but that was before Palestine, of course.” He also said about Israel: “It’s called Palestine, Sir.”

Asked for his first name, the operator said it was Zakharia but refused to state his last name.

Challenged over his remarks over Israel, the operator told the caller: “I know the Jews went to there, that Palestine received them and that there is a war between Israel and Palestine, of course. And the occupation… that’s what’s on the news of course.” Asked whether he would be able to help with the patients’ discharge regardless, the operator replied: “Yes, of course.”…

The recording’s release follows at least four recorded cases in which people who either spoke Arabic or wore Muslim traditional garb, destroyed, concealed or removed Israeli flags at an impromptu memorial space set up for the attacks’victims [sic] at Place de la Bourse in Brussels. It features many flags, including of Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority.

    The good, old classic islamic tradition of rewriting history. Just goes to show that people who insist that history as we know it is wrong because it’s written by the winners don’t know the kind of losers there are out there…

      The actual saying ‘History Is Written By The Winners’, is usually only partially quoted, as just stated. The second, and most important part of it, follows: “But Only Until The Hard Left Or Islamic Nut Bars Succeed In Rewriting it!”

      Which explains why the Jewish?Christian West, which outlawed and fought to end the vile slave trade, are the only ones blamed for it.

    Does anyone know what that Arabic writing says in the photo with this article? Just the top big script? It’s important to me to know, for my own reasons!

      It says “Falastin” – Palestine.

        Would it be considered an extremist view if the country of Israel is shown with it? I found this word written on a hand printed poster at a huge venue called the Oregon Country Fair which is basically a Jewish venue, although many other cultures are represented there. It was closing time and I snagged this poster knowing it would be torn down and thrown away. It is on my wall right now. Shortly after finding this, I started to read the Qur’an so I could convince people how non violent it is and so this Palestine poster with Israel on it heralded in my awakening from my leftist thinking! Thanks for your answer!

          If by “the country of Israel is shown with it” that it’s the outline of the country but with فلسطين written on it as the label, it’s not “extremist” insofar as it’s the standard label Muslims and their sympathizers use. A “two-state solution” is never depicted; the entirety of Israel is declared فلسطين.
          It should be correctly labeled מדינת ישראל, Medinat Yisrael, the country of Israel.

          Thanks again for answering! It still alarms me a bit! Maybe have to speak to someone about this just for caution. One suicide bomber could kill hundreds of people, as this place has 30,000 visitors a day in packed, cramped pathways.

          Answering @linnte’s question::
          ‘Boycott Divest Sanction’ movement against Israel.

          Leftist and any old anti-Semite-driven.
          Quite popular among hateful bigoted misfits.

        • linnte says

          Apr 1, 2016 at 4:32 pm

          Oh dang! BDS sucks! Sanctioning Israel and not other Muslim controlled countries? WTF is that all about? Insane! Thanks for the answer, as depressing as it is.

          You can have some fun, linnte, and incidentally hope to induce a brain disturbance, by posting things like the link below on their fb page, and asking them if they intend to boycott *those* as well.

          http://www.israel21c.org/18-israeli-inventions-that-could-save-your-life/

          You can also thank them, sincerely, for the list of Israeli goods etc they want boycotted, as it makes it so much easier to buy Israeli. 🙂

    Woe to you Belgium if you mistreat God’chosen people ( chosen by God through who the Messiah has come). God will bless those who bless Israel.

      We all know the Nazis couldn’t have murdered six million Jews without the cooperation of the populations of Occupied Europe. How ironic that the descendants of those who betrayed the Jews now live in fear of those who replaced them.

    Why does Linnte consider the Oregon County Fair to be a “Jewish venue”?

    • linnte says

      Mar 31, 2016 at 10:42 pm

      I have attended and worked at the fair for many many years. At one point, nearly all of the board members were Jewish. A great number of booth members are Jewish, and also crew. I really don’t care WHAT they are, my concern is finding a poster clearly with Arabic writing(and now I know what it says-Palestine) with the state of Israel on it, almost seemed like a threat to me. That’s all. Why, do YOU have a problem with a Jewish run venue like OCF?

      • o.O says

        Mar 31, 2016 at 10:51 pm

        Chillax dude. She just asked a simple question. Where did she say she has a problem?

        • linnte says

          Apr 1, 2016 at 2:37 am

          And I gave her a simple answer ? No bad feelings here.

        Haha, no Linnte, I don’t have a problem with Jews. All my relatives are Jews, as am I. Best wishes to you. 🙂

          Mar 31, 2016 at 11:18 pm

          Well good cuz I was about to get PO’d! Hahaha! I love the OCF, but this year have retired my position. When I “woke up” to the perils of Islam, my thinking has changed from hippie Liberal to not so liberal at all. I am an old hippie but my friends are now calling me a redneck hippie! Glad to meet you!
