Belgian Writer Wants to ‘Ram a Knife Through the Throat of Every Jew,’ But It’s Only ‘Satire’

By

A Belgian writer has recently expressed online his desire to murder every Jew he runs across. He’s been criticized by Jewish groups for this distinctly unpleasant wish, but no other action has been taken against him for inciting murderous violence against Jews. More on this moral monster can be found here: “Belgian writer claims his article saying ‘I want to stab every Jew I meet in the throat’ was satirical. Let’s see.” Elder of Ziyon, August 8, 2024:

Belgian poet and novelist Herman Brusselmans wrote a column in the site Humo where he said that “I want to ram a sharp knife through the throat of every Jew I meet.”

This brought a lot of criticism, because it is a pretty antisemitic thing to say.

But Al Jazeera’s article about it says “Jewish and right-wing groups attack Belgian writer for sympathizing with Gaza.“

Al Jazeera, as is its wont, lies. Those who attacked Brusselmans did not do so because of his supposedly “sympathizing with Gaza,” but because he declared himself eager to murder Jews — not Israelis alone, but “every Jew I meet.”

The editors of Humo responded to the controversy by saying, “You can’t isolate that one sentence,  you have to read the entire column. Then you know immediately that Brusselmans doesn’t mean it literally and therefore doesn’t ‘incite murder’ at all. ….Herman Brusselmans’ statements are part of a satirical column, not a journalistic article or an interview. Brusselmans is a celebrated and respected writer who likes to swear and sneer, eagerly using hyperbole and foul language, but he is not an anti-Semite. Even more than other columns, his should be judged by literary and not journalistic standards. With satirical writers such as Herman Brusselmans, the writing should never be taken one hundred percent literally.”…

Of course. How can you call Brusselmans, a “celebrated and respected writer,” of antisemitism? According to the editors of Humo, the online magazine where Brusselmans published his offending piece, he “is not an antisemite.” Judge him by literary standards, and you will see that the statement “I want to stab in the throat every Jew I meet” cannot possibly be taken at face value. It’s a joke, a satire. Nothing more. Why are Jews so lacking in a sense of humor? Brusselmans says:

I am working hard on my upcoming collection ‘Zat genoeg om met een duivelswijf te poepen’ (Drunk enough to f**k with an ugly woman). It contains impressions, opinions, descriptions, reviews, objective observations, essays, columns and scattered bits of poetic prose….

An entrancing title, I’m sure you’ll agree: “Drunk enough to f**k with an ugly woman.” Brusselmans has a keen eye for the poetic.

Despite this, I keep a clear mind, and so I follow the reality of the day closely. It does not escape me either that a Third World War is coming. The Middle East will explode, with nefarious consequences for the rest of the globe. And all because of a small, fat, bald Jew who bears the ominous name of Bibi Netanyahu, and who for whatever reason wants to ensure that the entire Arab world is wiped out. For every Hamas or Hezbollah fighter who is killed by that Israeli s***ty army, hundreds of innocent civilians are killed, and we can do nothing but keep repeating that many of them are children, and that we here, in the so-called safe West, cannot imagine that the same fate would befall our children. I see an image of a crying and screaming Palestinian boy, completely out of his mind, calling for his mother who is lying under the rubble, and I imagine that boy is my own son Roman , and the mother is my own girlfriend Lena , and I get so angry that I want to ram a sharp knife through the throat of every Jew I meet….

In Brusselmans’ view, the Middle East “will explode” not because of Iran’s determination to wipe out Israel, both by using its proxies — the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon — to attack Israel, and now itself preparing to attack the Jewish state directly with its vast arsenal of weapons, but because Israel has dared to fight back against those who would destroy it. Prime Minister Netanyahu is neither “small” nor “fat” nor “bald”; the IDF is not “a s***ty army” but, according to Professor John Spencer and Colonel Richard Kemp, “the most moral army in the world.” The Israelis do not deliberately kill civilians in Gaza, but make colossal efforts, through leafletting, text messaging, and telephone calls, to warn them away from places about to be targeted for attack. Hamas, on the other hand, by embedding itself, its weapons, and its rocket launchers among civilians and in civilian buildings, including apartment houses, schools, mosques and hospitals, always and everywhere tries to increase civilian casualties. It wants to exploit those dead civilians as part of its propaganda war against Israel.

Brusselmans is not being satirical when he insists that he feels like “stabbing every Jew in the throat.” He is expressing a murderous antisemitism that cannot after the fact be excused as “satire.” What, after all, could such a statement be “satirizing”? Does anyone believe that Brusselmans is “satirizing” murderous antisemites or is he, in fact, expressing his own views? These latest writings are nothing less than an incitement to murder. Will the Belgian media and political elites denounce Brusselmans’ Nazi-like antisemitism, or give him, as I fear will happen, a pass because, you see, he’s a “writer,” and therefore a verbal artist to whom all, no matter how evil, must be permitted?

  1. In my opinion, he is an **immoral** monster. Nothing “moral” about this ugly creature.

    If another person wrote anything about shoving a knife into the throat of every mozlum he met, there would be an arrest and rioting and threats against his life.

    the world is now in double-standard mode and one of the “standards” is the lowest evil one could imagine.

    • Seconded, somehistory. And wherever double standards exist, and they are plentiful in the absurd age we now live in, far, far more can be found on the Left than on the Right.

      Of course, Leftists will miss (or deceitfully dismiss) this but then they miss so much—and they are doing so much damage here in the West, either out of sheer ignorance or actual malevolence. Meanwhile, followers of the worst religion of all time are delighted by this self-destruction. Why shouldn’t they be, parasites that all of them are, even the so-called moderates who give great cover to Mo’s warped creed.

  2. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he were given some of his own medicine. I for one would consider it a just reward…. but what would he say?

  3. He looks like a man who has to pay to have sex with any women no matter if he is drunk or sober so his story would be a work in fiction .An ugly man with many ugly morals ,would he have the guts to say that to a group of Jewish men his own age at a local watering hall in his own country? ,He considers himself a “important ” smart writer ,he is only kidding joking about genocide and general supporting jihadist terrorist’s who would gladly throw him off a roof he he enter Gaza being a western man non _Moslem .Maybe the Moslems in the Gaza would keep him alive long enough to make him their girl friend before 86 him by either cutting off his head or throwing him off a building ,or toppling a wall on to him ,or burning him alive .Yes this is what jihadist do for sport to Non-Moslem European soy boys who enter their hood uninvited .

    • Ugly stuff, Somehistory. They just want to keep the populace ignorant, and are haopy to crush freedom of speech to accomplish this.

  5. So, how can the phrase “Ram a Knife Through the Throat of Every Jew” be considered satire?

    It’s just plain EVIL.

    • Yes indeed! The irony is he is a Jew! Names that end in ‘man’ r always JEWISH. ANOTHER IGNORANT, STUPID POS.

      • garbage, it’s just means “occupation”, common names like chapman and bowman are never Jewish.
        and Herman, the anti-semites first name is not used by Jews since WW2.

        • All true, Marc. My maiden name was “Newman”. Not all Newmans are Jewish.

  7. Had he dared say the same thing about muslims, would he still be walking free?

  8. Apparently Belgium has sanctioned the freedom to hate and can pretend that words don’t matter.

  9. 9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
    — M. Pickthall

    Then, this must be a satire too. Kill every non muslim whereever you find them, very Islamic.

  10. Freedom of speech has to work both ways. So let us ram a knife through even muslim and their supporters.

  11. What happened to my Belgium? My grandparents came from Belgium in the first decade of the 1900’s.
    WWII they saved 80% of their Jewish population. Now they want to kill someone because they have a different view of GOD from a Christian.
    There is nothing Christian about murdering people for no good reason. A religious or culture, ethnic background never is adequate.

  12. “Belgium bans Jews from sporting events like it was World War II”
    “Israeli Frisbee team banned from competition after antisemitic graffiti appears near playing field, claim police chief said: ‘This is your war, not mine’
    More, the town told the coaches and team members they couldn’t even watch the game. ”

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/belgium-bans-jews-from-sporting-events-like-it-was-world-war-ii/ar-AA1oFxNA?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=c1c41ccc138549dfa800a0db7b4fc161&ei=38

    • Just disgusting–you get banned in Belgium if you are threatned by thugs. Like that won’t embolden them…

  13. If thisexcellent example of a Belgian racist were to say: “I want to butcher every islamofascist-jihadist-illegal migrant in Belgium” what would happen to him? Other than let him play at the Olympics’ Womens Team!
