The Jewish community of Antwerp (Belgium) has released CCTV footage of an attempted car ramming incident on an Orthodox Jewish family Saturday morning.
A Jewish father and his son were on their way to the local synagogue when they suddenly had to jump out of harm’s way because a car was coming directly at them. (Note: the two were walking on the sidewalk.) Here’s the footage:
Police have arrested the driver. According to Israeli public broadcaster Kan News, the driver is of Muslim origin. He was tracked down through the footage of the license plate and is to be arraigned today on the charge of attempted manslaughter.
Sadly, this is one of many recent examples of increased antisemitism in Western Europe over the last few years — and especially the last few months. In September of last year, for instance, a Jewish man was assaulted in Antwerp by a “local youth” who called him every anti-Jewish slur in the dictionary. The attacker had converted to Islam recently and was arrested with the help of onlookers.
In January of this year in Paris, two young Jewish citizens were attacked by Muslim haters as well. In the first attack, the victim was an 8-year-old Jewish boy. He was beaten up because of his ethnicity and religion. The second victim was a 15-year-old Jewish girl. She was stabbed in the face. The only reason for the attack was her being Jewish. Her attackers identified her as such because of the school uniform she wore.
The situation has become so grave in France that Prime Minister Philippe felt forced to come out publicly and denounce “a new form of brutal and violent antisemitism.”
Speaking at France’s Parliament, he added: “To fight against racism and antisemitism, it is obvious to have the courage to name these things. The courage to affirm, to recognize that, yes, a new form of brutal and violent antisemitism is expressing itself more and more openly on our territory.” CONTINUE AT SITE
