What could possibly go wrong? Islam is a religion of peace!
“Belgium to pull federal police security for Antwerp’s Jewish Quarter,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, December 18, 2025:
Belgium’s decision to end Federal Police security for the Jewish quarter of Antwerp on January 1 is “unbelievable” and “outrageous,” Jewish groups and politicians told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Despite surging antisemitism and hate crimes globally, the 16 officers of the Federal Police who are responsible for the protection of the Jewish quarter in Antwerp will no longer be deployed after January 1. This will leave the Antwerp Police to fill the gap; however, they are already overstretched.
Mayor Els Van Doesburg told Belga News Agency, “The Jewish community across the country has been under increased threat level since 2014. Federal agents were also provided for the security of the Jewish quarter, who, together with local agents, ensured this security. It’s a fifty-fifty split between federal and local, so half of the effort suddenly disappears.”
Van Doesburg called the decision “incomprehensible.”
“There must be no vacuum in the safety of the Jewish quarter in Antwerp,” she added. Antwerp’s Jewish quarter is tight-knit and predominately Orthodox.
Interior Minister Bernard Quintin confirmed the decision but said that the security of Jewish sites remains “an absolute priority.”
Ralph Pais of Belgium’s Jewish Information & Documentation Center told the Post on Thursday that the situation has created “genuine unrest within the Jewish community in Antwerp.”…

Just to clarify: “an absolute priority” means exactly nothing at all. Nothing. Zilch. Jews are being thrown to the wolves as usual, and exactly at the time when there are more wolves than ever.
(Absolute priorities do not exist; there are only relative priorities.)

Maybe they’ve been taking advice from Mamdani.

Yes–he is doing the same.
Hoi Polloi says
Sounds on par with all the other news about this problem in Belgium.
Siddi Nasrani says
Well if you are not using your Police, because you have insufficient Police, so what is wrong with using the Army as an act of deterrent to stop the ”Religion of Peace” from
murdering the Jews ??

An twerp. A twerp. In this case, it’s not just silly, and not just annoying…it’s evil.

Just a question to anyone from Belgium or its neighborhood: how is Vlaams Belang in popularity these days, given that Antwerp falls within Flanders?
Troybeam says
if you have been watching the actions of Islam since the attack on Israel in Oct. of 2023 you see a pattern of conquests against each nation where Islam resides.
The attacks on the Jewish areas or the cease in protection being removed, the elected Muslims to office and the list is long.
The attack of 2023 was a signal to begin in force the conquest for global domination and create a one world caliphate. Before that Islam has raped nations of money thru fraud and victimhood.
Gentleman says
Yea you’re getting warmer.
To be fair, it isn’t a Belgian decision. They are under heavy pressure by Muslims voters to remove these policemen immediately because of Islamophobia and Islamic discomfort. The Muslims feel they are the target of the police force and they clam its discrimination enforcement.

Belgium surges in the European Islamopandering derby.
Bexarkat says
There’s a lesser need for the police when a simple fix, such as deporting Belgium’s muslim population would suffice and vastly reduce the problem.
Charlie Reed says
Surely, the safety and wellbeing of its citizens must be a priority for any government. Any government that fails does not deserve to be the government.
Michael says
Not anymore it isn’t, and whether or not they deserve to be in power is irrelevant when zombies continue to vote for them.
OLD GUY says
Charlie: That is exactly what Islam wants. Failure to protect your citizens from Islam. The migration invasion of young islamic men is over running countries around the world.
James Lincoln says
Belgium is great at making chocolate, waffles, and beer.
Protecting their Jewish population – not so much.
gravenimage says
If invading Muslims have their way, making beer is going to go out the window as well, James.
James Lincoln says
Tragically true, gravenimage.

This is chilling–but who can be surprised? It *certainly* is not because Belgium is now safe for Jews.
St Croix says
“This will leave the Antwerp Police to fill the gap; however, they are already overstretched.”
Well, overstretched by what, I wonder?
Of course, we all know. And that “what” is the problem. Get rid of that “what” and the resources will stretch waaaay further, like they used to.
Europe is being destroyed from within and without, like many other of our Western nations! Look at NYC. (And, why oh why did Trump meet with him, before he was even inaugurated? Dr. Phil: “What were you thinking?” That took the biscuit.)
