Belgium MP Michael Freilich of the New Flemish Alliance party, a Flemish nationalist and conservative group, tweeted during the weekend in condemnation of his country’s silence in the face of antisemitism by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
“Palestinian president justifies Holocaust; statements widely condemned internationally; Paris withdraws highest award; we [Belgium] have total silence,” the MP wrote.
He tagged two Belgium Ministers; Caroline Gennez, Development Cooperation and Urban Policy Minister, and Hadja Lahbib, Foreign Affairs Minister.
Freilich added that beyond Belgium being wrong in its silence, the two ministers “are otherwise completely wrong about Palestine.”
