Belgium summons US ambassador over antisemitism claims

Belgium’s Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot has summoned Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to the country, over his comments accusing Belgium of antisemitism and lashing out against its health minister.

“Any suggestion that Belgium is antisemitic is false, offensive, and unacceptable. Belgium condemns antisemitism with the greatest firmness,” Prévot wrote Monday evening in a long post on X, calling White’s statements “unacceptable.”

After Prévot expressed his disapproval on social media, White responded with another long post.

“In NO way, shape or form have we ever suggested that a political person in the Gov’t should interfere in a judicial case. That said, the case should be immediately dropped,” White wrote, adding that “it is ABSOLUTELY an issue of antisemitism.”

“You either have to make a change to the procedural accreditation or you have to call prosecution of these three beautiful religiously qualified and wonderful men anti-semeitc,” he continued, misspelling the last word

  1. Again the difference between Right and Left.
    Right: We hate Jews. We hate them and want them gone!
    Left: We don't hate Jews. How dare you! Our banning of Jewish circumcision, Jewish ritual slaughter and Jewish support of Israel has nothing to do with Jews.
    And the Chasidim in Antwerp sit back, count their diamonds and think "Nah, this doesn't affect us. We don't need to run to Israel."
