A Belgian physician refused to treat a Jewish woman Wednesday, saying the woman suffering from a fractured rib should “go to Gaza to get rid of the pain.”

According to a JTA report, the physician made the remark while manning a medical hotline in Flanders, discerning that the patient was Jewish because her grandson had an American accent. Antwerp, the capital of Belgium’s Flemish region, has a sizeable Orthodox population.

JTA did not name the doctor, but said that a local Jewish newspaper, Joods Actueel, confirmed the exchange, saying he had an “emotional reaction.”

Hershy Taffel, Bertha Klein’s grandson with the American accent, filed a complaint with police for discrimination. “It reminds me of what happened in Europe 70 years ago,” Taffel told Joods Actueel. “I never thought those days would once again be repeated.”

The incident was the latest in a series of anti-Jewish attacks in Belgium: On May 24, a Muslim man opened fire at the Jewish Museum on Brussels, killing four. More recently, European media reported that a Orthodox woman was refused service at a clothes store in Antwerp, and police removed a sign in French and Turkish from a café near Liege which said dogs were allowed but Zionists and Jews were not.

The poster says it all.

Holland

JTA reported that a Jewish woman who displayed an Israeli flag from her balcony in Amsterdam was targeted with a firebomb and death threats. A firebomb landed on the balcony of neighbors of Leah Rabinovitch, a Mexico-born Jewish woman who flew the Israeli flag on Amsterdam’s Kruger Square, located in an eastern neighborhood heavily populated with Moroccan immigrants, Het Parool daily reported Wednesday. The report did not say whether the firebomb ignited and whether it caused any damage, but according to the FokNews website, it landed on a neighbor’s balcony.

Fok also reported that a stone that was hurled at Rabinovitch’s apartment smashed a window and that one of the death threats sent to Rabinovitch read: “Heil Hitler, Hitler is coming back, Jews must die.” Rabinovitch and her partner put out the flag several weeks ago as a sign of solidarity with Israel’s assault on Hamas in Gaza. Their downstairs neighbors displayed on their balcony a Palestinian flag, and demanded that Rabinovitch remove her flag. Complaints by the downstairs neighbor led the Rochdale housing association that manages the apartments to send letters to both apartments ordering them to remove the flags and warning that they would be held accountable for damages resulting from vandalism, Het Parool reported. Rochdale defined the conflict as an “ongoing neighbor quarrel.”

Rabinovitch told Het Parool she had no previous conflicts with the neighbors prior to hanging the flag. “They present it as though I was trying to provoke with my flag but it wasn’t about making a statement,” she said. “We find it difficult to understand why Rochdale, the police and the neighbors want us to remove our flag. Should I feel afraid in my own house? If I remove the flag it means tolerating anti-Israel-Semitism.”

Spain

In Madrid, Jewish groups said they would file suit over an anti-Semitic article in the national daily El Mundo. Renowned Spanish author Antonio Gala wrote on Tuesday that “The Jewish People could have done much good for mankind” but “it is a thought they were not made to coexist.

Gala also said the Gaza operation justified the explosion of Jews from Spain in 1492. “It’s not strange that they have been so frequently expelled,” Gala continued. “What is surprising is that they persist….Now you have to suffer their abuses in Gaza,” he wrote.

Down Under

In Sydney, Australia, a Jewish reporter covering an anti-Israel protest for the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) was targeted by a man of Middle Eastern appearance shouting: “Shame on you! Ya Jewish! You are Jewish! Shame on you!” The rally was attended by several members of parliament, mainly from the radical Greens Party, including Senator Lee Rhiannon, who accused Israel of “war crimes” in Gaza but couldn’t seem to find the words to address the Judeophobic nature of pro-Palestinian activism. The incident was followed several days later by a vicious anti-Semitic cartoon, published in the Sydney Morning Herald, picturing a hook-nosed Jew enjoying an afternoon’s entertainment by sitting in his armchair overlooking Gaza and using a television remote control to attack residents of the Strip.

  14. Hamas fired for a full month , before Israel fired back! No country on earth would put up with that! You’re dang lucky Israel hasn’t wiped them off the map……. No more less then Hamas would do to Israel …. A LIE DOESNT MAKE IT TRUE …. Ashjad

  16. 15,200 rockets fired at Israel since 2001
    11,000 rockets fired at Israel since 2005 from Gaza
    Out of that there were 35 fatalities and 1,700 injuries
    How is this even possible. Either the Arabs are the stupidest people on the planet or G-d has obviously chosen which nation to protect. I think it’s both.

  24. Ali, Khalid and the rest of you trolls spout hate, mindlessly chant slogans and post falsified videos in support of people who only destroy. Israel and the Jews in general have done more good in the world than you ever could conceive of. You on the other hand live in the most unjust societies in the world an scary blame everybody for your problems but yourself and your selfish, greedy leaders. Shame on you.

  31. Americans and American Jews are getting tired of seeing so many children being killed as well,,, the largest population actually of American Jews are against this.,, they arent all into land…might come up with a better way,, innocent killings dont go over well with any religion against murdering children,, especially hiding in UN facilities..

  33. Israel will stand strong and proudly and I stand with her.
    And I will fight Anti-Semitism by challenging the evil people who post about murdering Jews.
    And Allah is G-D and G-D stands with Israel.
    He mourns for the children of Hamas who have done no wrong, but whose parents put them in harms way.
    I mourn for your children, Hamas.
    Because evil from you have destroyed them

We in the west gonna have the next war against islamites because everybody see this not jihads or hamas every islamite takes the side of Gazans terrorists so we have here into your own countries the next war : to deported all this fakers terrorists who taken away our wealthy by frauds and corruption! Islam no belongs to America or European countries , islam will be banned from many countries , we need to make illegal islam religion public praxis first then will see the next step …

  52. Trash of Europe and illegal babies having many fathers each gather in holy land to plead this….
    Now Jews are not Semitics as Arabs and they rejected when they killed righteous prophets and Jerusalem burnt in 60A.D

  58. And I will speak for myself, it was horrible to see children killed, heads blown off, parents crying over their dead..Israel mourned over three teenagers, one an American,, are these innocent blood of so many children killed in Palestine, no matter whose fault? even in UN facility, the last one that notified 17 times to the IDF their position that many were just killed, jusified ?? Someone needs to come up with a better way,,,

  61. Chilldren are children,, they are not dogs , even if they were born in a terrible situation,,not their fault..where is all, these Jews and their Godly compassion for these children, looking at these comments, non existance..why dont they pray for them instead of saying such horrible things on this page,, hate seems to run in Jewish veins, it seems..or some, not all.

  62. Just wait till these terrorists start attacking their country, cities, neighborhoods… then they’ll wish they had supported Israel… remember 9/11… remember Benghazi… remember all the other terrorists attacks that killed hundreds in Europe, Egypt, Iraq and Africa … they want to rid the world of all Jews & Christians… how soon we forget

  64. Read history!!!!!
    Islamic empires gave system in which all nations belonging to different races and religions enjoyed same rights and facilities.
    Jews got protection in middle ages from Christian world and lived freely in Islamic empires. There was no vulgar ness as today. Islam is religion of nature.

  68. I agree after getting such knowledge on this site such as hate for cult Christians. ! Compared to Islam,!!!,.that the billion dollars tax dollars taken from mostly cult Christians ..which is the majority religion in the USA ..for their Iron Drome..that Israel should stop, getting aid from us..just become a state that supports itself and only allows Jews to live.., non democratic, wonder how long they would last without the cult Christian majority USA religion ?? Lets see..

  69. Peggy, Christians dont actually believe people like you are above any of us,, we are chosen through Jesus also,, no jealously, I assure you,, in fact Christians pray for their enemies, love those those hate us etc,,,, yes, we will go to war against our enemies, but we dont kill children, not like that…

  70. Peggy, Christians dont actually believe people like you are above any of us,, we are chosen through Jesus also,, no jealously, I assure you,, in fact Christians pray for their enemies, love those those hate us etc,,,, yes, we will go to war against our enemies, but we dont kill children, not like that…

  74. #Syria, #Iraq, #Afghanistan, #Sudan, #Malaysia, #Nigeria, #Kenya, etc.,. …those are the countries where people get slaughtered to thousands every minute… and no one cares. ??? Wake Up World we get fooled…. there’s a mass slaughter going on and the whole world is looking at #Israel ? Until today there’s NO evidence at all that there’s more than 20 #PAs in #Gaza dead. Not even the Press confirmed. And any graves aren’t dig yet. If there are REALLY more than 1000 #PAs dead Where are they ??? And please don’t fool the world AGAIN with pics / vids from those already named countries, I’m sick of it. #Hamas is holding a carrot in front of our noses and we fell for it, so we all look away from the ‘real’ slaughters – a killing spree by Muslim Terrorists to take over one country after the other. We are all so dumb. We all following the media and they play with us. They have us there , where they want us. We accept a Mass slaughter from #Christians & ‘#Infidels’ during the time we get ‘entertained’ by #Hamas and those crying grown ass men holding up dead kids. That makes me sick & very angry. Why are dead #Muslims more worth than dead #Christians, #Buddhists, #Hindus or dead #Jews? Where’s the difference? Where’s the outcry? Damn I’m so angry.. :/ I #STANDwithISRAEL <3

  83. You said it, I didn’t! By the way, I’d rather be a rat in the gutter than to be someone who does this stuff. I just think Hamas needs to get their heads out of the hate gutter and appreciate life for what it is. No balls when they use innocent children to protect their asses.

  97. Mario, America isnt worried about ISIS, they havent even gone into Bagdad yet,, they wouldnt even land in our country,, we are the strongest military , in the world, and we do have the best intelligence……so much secrets ,,,the world has no idea about our military and intelligence,,

  98. Mario, America isnt worried about ISIS, they havent even gone into Bagdad yet,, they wouldnt even land in our country,, we are the strongest military , in the world, and we do have the best intelligence……so much secrets ,,,the world has no idea about our military and intelligence,,

  99. 1500 young Iraqi men were rounded up like cattle by Islamic jihadists and led to their death . Each one was shot in the body and head in a mass grave. And some were lead to a river , shot in the head and thrown into the water,, the warf was soaked in “Blood, and these are the same people the International Community are Backing..Hamas is no different ,, they have often said so,,,

  102. I support not killing innocent women, children, and the elderly,, if its hamas, then that just makes them victims which makes it worst, nothing justifies these murders of so many children, nothing..maybe Israel should have taken on this group earlier before they became so strong,, I dont know,, but many many refugees are living in the most desperate situations…why isnt Israel helping take care of them too.. if they care?? Why just the UN,, something stinks of people that say.. we are gods chosen,,, what God is that ???, doesnt add up to me,, thats not the work or love of the God Christians worship..thats a fact..,

  108. Jews are terrorists. American support of the Jewish state is a naked violation of the establishment clause of the US constitution. Israel must be stopped from it’s genocide against the Palestinian people. NOW….

  113. Im watching CNN and yet it seems another UN school was damaged last night from fire, no deaths, but many injuries with children again….so id like to know the number one question in the news? Israel drops leaflets for people to go to safety, then these safety sites are bombed….so there is in reality… no safe place… for any civilians to go,, they get killed wherever they go,,,, so how does warnings mean anything ??

  123. What a naive photo! Israel is the Jewish homeland as dictated by G-d up above. The rest of the world needs to heed this and follow the word of G-d. The arabs have plenty of land they can give to their arab brothers and leave Israel alone! End of story!!!

  128. When A Village Picks A Fight With A Kingdom, you are going to get Annihilated.They Cry That We The Jewish People are Terrorists because we have the Weaponry to Defend Our Country and Use It against their lesser weaponry and attacks! You Cry That “you shall lead your people to the death with pride”, Israel is accommodating you!

  129. That poor kid has been so brained washed it is pathetic. All these countries including America are standing by and doing nothing. If They want peace then go after Hamas. Which are soon to be in our back doors. God Bless Israel and the IDF.

  130. The IDF are destroying the Hamas store of rockets, if they store them in peoples houses, hospitals, there’s going to be some casualties, Hamas fires rockets next to peoples houses, and hide behind their people, all they are, are cowards.
