Increased Security Too Little Too Late For Jews In Belgium

Click here to watch: Increased Security too Little too Late for Jews in Belgium Belgium's Interior Ministry raised its terror alert level in the wake of the attack. Belgian Interior Minister Joelle Milquet told a news conference Saturday that the security threat level was at its highest at locations frequented by the Jewish community across the country. This measure is precautionary, she added. She met with the police, Belgian Jewish community leaders and the president of the European Jewish Congress, Moshe Kantor, on Sunday to discuss the security arrangements, an Interior Ministry statement said.  The Jewish community is determined to continue its activities in schools, synagogues and cultural centers, but under heightened security with a permanent police presence, the statement said. Kantor is also to hold urgent talks with Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo, his group said in a statement. Kantor described the attack as "horrific but not surprising" and urged action by European governments to tackle extremism and hate speech. "Attacks on Jewish targets in Europe do not exist in a vacuum, but are part and parcel of an overall climate of hate and incitement against Jewish communities," he said, according to the statement. "Anti-Semitism begins in the public domain, it gains international legitimacy and becomes normative even in our national parliaments but it always ends in killing Jews."  Pope Francis, who was in Israel on Sunday, told reporters that he had a "heavy heart" after the "atrocious" attack. "While reiterating my condemnation for this criminal act of anti-Semitic hatred, I entrust the victims of this crime to the God of mercy and invoke upon the wounded his gift of healing," the pope said in Tel Aviv before departing for Jerusalem. Watch Here A global survey released in May by the Anti-Defamation League reported on the levels of anti-Semitism found in 102 nations. Belgium received a 27% index score in the survey. The index score represents the percentage of adults in a country who answered "probably true" to a majority of the anti-Semitic stereotypes tested. Belgium has an adult population of about 8.7 million. The ADL said one-fourth of adults worldwide are "deeply infected with anti-Semitic attitudes," according to a CNN.com report on the survey. France had the second highest index score in Europe, with 37%, although that was well below Greece, with 67%. Germany had a score of 27%, Spain 29%, Sweden 4% and the United Kingdom 8%. The United States was given an index score of 9%. Source: CNN My comments: Understand that anti-Semitism is anti-Christ and anti-God of the Bible. Satan, and the Whole World he rules [1 John 5:19], hates Jews and Christians because they are the only ones who stand in the way of his complete domination.
