Belgium– Anti-Semitic incitements against members of the Jewish community of Antwerp.

Friday afternoon, as part of Rosh Ashana’s holidays and the Tashlich prayer, during which the followers are praying by a pool of water (lake, pond, river …), 3 young men, north-African type, who were in the park began making remarks barely acceptable.

The police, on the premises, asked them to leave the place which they did. 500 meters further, the same 3 persons were found in another place, at the Belgielei, also used for this religious ritual. There, they uttered insults and the police arrested them.
