Belgium's Jewish community is "extremely angered" by a Supreme Court ruling that Ariel Sharon can be tried for war crimes in Belgium, according to Betty Dan, head of the Brussels-based Radio Judaica.
Dan said her radio station has been flooded with calls from angry members of the Jewish community, who see anti-Israel, if not anti-Semitic sentiment behind it.
"There is a unanimous feeling that this is move has everything to do with politics, and nothing with justice."
With federal elections set for May 18, and Belgium's 35,000 Jews outnumbered by Muslims by a factor of 10 to one, the decision to allow the trial to go ahead is seen as an attempt to curry favor with the immigrant community.
At least the prejudices of the Left are being exposed for what they are by this decision against Sharon and the lines for battle are being drawn more clearly all over the world: Believers in Freedom vs. Islamofascists (and often their Socialist/Marxist/Communist apologists).
