ORTHODOX JEW MURDERED IN BELGIUM

DID THE ISLAMOFASCISTS IN EUROPE EXECUTE ANOTHER "INFIDEL?" LAST WEEK THEY MURDERED DUTCH FILMMAKER THEO VAN GOGH. YESTERDAY, "SOMEONE" SHOT AN ORTHODOX JEWISH CUSTODIAN IN THE HEAD IN ANTWERP BELGIUM.

Antwerp: Orthodox Jew killed in attack
Moshe Yitzhak Na'eh, who was shot in the head overnight Wednesday in Antwerp in what seems to be an anti-Semitic attack, died of his wounds late Thursday afternoon, Belgium's Prosecutors office announced. Prosecutor's spokeswoman Dominique Reniers .... called the victim a "devout young man" who was shot from close range. He slumped on to the road, where he was discovered by passers-by who initially thought he was a road accident victim. There were no witnesses to the shooting.

Na'eh, 24, an ultra-Orthodox Jew and a father of five – the oldest five years old, the youngest an 18-months-old baby - was shot at about 2:20 a.m. on Lange Kievitstraat, near a Muslim neighborhood in Antwerp, Belgium, home to large Jewish and Muslim communities. ....

Belgian federal police are investigating the incident, which seems to be a hate crime, as Na'eh's money was not stolen and he was not involved in any criminal deeds. ....

Both Na'eh and his father serve as gabays (custodians) of the Pshevorski Rebbe in Antwerp, where Na'eh grew up. He finished work at the house of the rebbe, located in the same building of the community's synagogue, at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, according to Yehuda Ceitlin, a correspondent of the European Jewish Press. The rebbe's house is located near a bridge separating the Muslim and Jewish neighborhoods of Antwerp. Na'eh was walking along the bridge on his way home when he was shot in the head from close range.
